Decision-Making Application Based on the best practices you have studied in this course, what do you think are the three best practices for decision making? First, give a summary of these three best practices, and explain why you believe them to be the most important.
Second, apply one of the best practices you have chosen to the following scenario in which a business manager has to make a decision.
Michael is the quality assurance manager of an ice cream plant in the United States. The parent company has decided to open several plants in Russia. A team of food scientists from the new plants being built in Russia have come to your plant to learn how you run the lab in the plant and assure quality production of the ice cream. One of the scientists from Russia has very traditional cultural views and refuses to work with a female member of your team, despite the fact that she is a highly qualified food scientist and employee at your plant.
How would you handle this situation if you were Michael? Justify your best-practice in this decision-making situation.
Your essay should be at least three pages in length, not counting the title page and reference page. Your paper should include at least two outside sources to support your decision. At least one of those sources should be found in the CSU Online Library.
