Briefly explain the three steps in rational approaches to decision making. Also explain why choices based on rational approaches are often ignored by the "groupthink" as in course materials. ChatGPT The three steps in rational approaches to decision-making are: Identifying the Problem: This step involves recognizing and defining the issue or challenge that requires a decision. It requires gathering relevant information, analyzing the situation, and clearly defining the objectives to be achieved. Generating Alternative Solutions: Once the problem is identified, decision-makers brainstorm and generate multiple alternative solutions or courses of action to address the problem. These alternatives should be evaluated based on their feasibility, effectiveness, and alignment with the objectives defined in the first step. Evaluating and Selecting the Best Alternative: In this step, decision-makers evaluate each alternative solution based on predetermined criteria and select the one that best addresses the identified problem while maximizing desired outcomes and minimizing potential risks or drawbacks. Choices based on rational approaches are often ignored by "groupthink" because groupthink tends to prioritize consensus and conformity over critical thinking and rational decision-making. Groupthink occurs when members of a group prioritize harmony and agreement, leading to a tendency to suppress dissenting viewpoints or overlook alternative perspectives
