Assignment:
There is a tendency among managers to quickly resolve problems even though they may not fully understand or appreciate the many causal factors contributing to the problem. As a result, these managers function like firefighters, putting quick fixes to problems in hopes that they will be resolved. In reality, some problems are resolved whereas, in many cases, the perceived solution is short lived and non-effective. On the other hand, there are managers who suffer from a phenomenon known as "analysis paralysis". They become so obsessed with identifying and analyzing "all" of the casual factors associated with a problem that the manager may never get around to implementing a solution.
In 250 words, what do you believe are the pros and cons associated with each of these phenomena? What would be the optimal approach a manager might want to pursue when faced with a problem in need of a timely solution?
