For this assignment think about a specific decision that was made by your supervisor in the organization you currently work for or have worked for in the past. It is known openly that there is a quarterly budget for the rehabilitation department to purchase equipment/ tools that will better serve their patients (Speech therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy). A Director of Rehab gets the final say. Although employees anticipate having a say/ making a group decision that serves the team as a whole. The Director does not seek feedback from his team and purchases a Diathermy. Which is an expensive luxury and there are larger considerations that could have been taken into account. Everyday necessary items. Review the background materials carefully on the Vroom-Yetton model and think about how this model applies to this decision that you experienced. Then apply the Vroom-Yetton model to this decision:

1. Describe the decision that management had to make, and also whether their decision-making style was autocratic, consultative, or group-based. Explain your reasoning.
2. Go through Vroom-Yetton's seven questions and apply these questions to their diagram to see what decision-making style their model suggests. Briefly explain the reasoning behind your answers to the seven questions.
3. Conclude your paper with a discussion of whether or not you would recommend this model to your supervisor and whether or not you were surprised by the recommendation given by this model regarding decision-making style.
