Decision-making models are critical for making informed and consistent decisions. In this Assignment, you will use what you have learned about decision-making models to solve the organizational problem below.
Scenario
Imagine that you are an organizational consultant for JOHNSON & JOHNSON. You have been asked to recommend who should lead a new initiative to expand the company’s online presence. After several discussions and interviews, the leadership team shortlisted two candidates. Each candidate brings a different set of skills and expertise to the table and poses a few challenges.
The first candidate, Myra, is a 15-year veteran of the organization who has worked her way up from an intern to a very capable product manager. She has extensive knowledge of the company’s products and services and embodies the company’s culture and vision in her work. Myra is not well-versed in e-commerce and the technologies that will be needed to implement and launch the company’s online initiative. However, she is a fast learner, and the management position doesn’t require too much in-depth knowledge of technologies.
The second candidate, Michael, was hired six months ago and showed great promise as a leader and manager. He has an MBA from a reputable university and worked for a technology startup for three years before joining the company. He has no experience in pet supplies or related industries but knows how to launch an online company from the ground up.
Compare and contrast two different decision-making models addressed in your course resources, explaining how each would be used to approach the hiring decision.
Recommend which of the two decision-making models would be the best suited to help make the hiring decision and why.
Explain how the model you recommended would influence the decision-making process and outcome. You may use the following questions to help develop your response:
How does examining a business problem through the lens of different decision-making models teach us about decision-making?
What other business decisions or situations would your peers’ recommended decision-making models be most appropriate to use for, and why?
What other business decisions or situations would your recommended decision-making model be most appropriate to use for, and why?
Do you have questions for your peers about why they recommended the model they did?

this video presentation will prepare you to write the second half of the policy brief. You will research and
provide an informative overview of your selected policy issues addressing the following questions:
Current Models in Other Jurisdictions: What are other jurisdictions doing? How amenable are those
policies to transfer? Has similar policy transfer already occurred, and was it successful or were there
challenges?
Alternative Policy Options – Given the above, provide three plausible options to modify, improve upon or
replace the current policy. Thoroughly examine each policy option in detail, explaining their method or
form, their potential cost, the advantages and disadvantages, possible implications or unintended
consequences, and how they compare and differ from the current policy.
Recommendation – Which policy alternative do you recommend and why that alternative instead of the
others?
