He felt that management decision-making behavior could be described as follows: In choosing between alternatives, the manager attempts to satisfy or looks for the one which is satisfactory or “good enough”.
Another response is to reconsider EBMgt in terms of cybernetic theory, whereby the "requisite variety" of evidence compiled across decision-makers is critical because "compiling more evidence does not necessarily imply compiling a wider range of knowledge types" [16] To that end, a promising alternative to the "evidence-based" approach would be ...
