The process of assessing each firm based on important factors and choosing the one with the highest score suggests that the committee is using a rational decision-making approach. This approach is aimed at finding the best possible solution to a problem by considering all relevant information and evaluating all available options. Therefore, this process is likely to minimize problems with satisficing, which refers to choosing the first satisfactory solution rather than a better one. Production blocking, constructive conflict, and problem identification are not directly addressed by this process.
