Answer

a)monitoring and evaluating

b)choosing implementation strategies

c)evaluating alternatives

d)generating alternatives

e)identifying opportunities and diagnosing problems

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer to the given question would be an Option b

Reason/Explanation:

The first option refers to the stage of the decision-making process wherein the implementation process is monitored and evaluated as compared to the predetermined objectives or goals. This is the step taken after the allocation of the resources has been finalized, so, considering the paragraph given in the question, we discard this option.

The third and fourth options are interlinked, the first being the fourth one, wherein different alternative sources or options are listed and compared with each other in terms of reliability, delivery time, capability, etc. Here, we don't consider the effects of such an alternative option. Therefore, we discard these options as well.

The last option refers to the stage wherein the problem (i.e., Objective) under the study, is identified, its purpose and opportunities are found, and the key problems are diagnosed. This is a too initial phase as compared to understanding the effects of the decision, thus, we discard this option as well.

While the second option refers to finding out the ways or the strategies of how to implement or use the resources; as determined in the 'selection of alternatives' stage; and evaluating its impact over the organization as a whole. Hence, we note that the paragraph given in the question is more likely to be associated with the option b, we conclude that the correct answer to the given question is option b.
