Assignment

According to the Garbage Can Model, in each company and in each organization there are four streams:

A stream of problems: Problems are determined by inner and outer organizational circumstances and require attention of participants. Problems are looking for situations in which they might be raised or solved.

A stream of participants (employees): Participants come and go. It is assumed that they provide energy for organizational decision making. Participants may have favorite problems or favorite solutions which they carry around with them.

A stream of solutions: Employees of the organization produce solutions. Solutions move around, actively looking for questions to which they might be an answer.

A stream of choices: Choice opportunities represent the point of time when a decision is required by the organization. Each choice opportunity can be seen as a garbage can into which diverse problems and solutions are dumped.

Your task is to develop four-five recommendations for top management of a company in order to improve decision making process. It does not mean that you need to eliminate some "streams", it is impossible.

But you need to think about the ways, how employees of a company can make decisions better: more effective and efficient ways.

(You should prepare only three short papers, around two pages each, including Bibliography. You can use your textbook and all other appropriate sources for preparing your short papers.)

Please, do not forget to make references to your sources using APA format for references (only for references).
