A large municipality (250,000 citizens) is trying to decide where to locate a new community recreational center. The problem is relatively unstructured. There is a decision quality requirement that is significant. Not one person has sufficient information and many community groups may desire to provide input. Opportunity for conflict exists between groups and neighborhoods competing for the center. If one person (city manager) makes the decision, many people may not be strongly committed to making the center successful. Would an individual or group be most useful for this decision? Please justify your answer.
