Multiple Choice

Which of the following is most similar to the reasoning employed by the Product Director?

• A) The product requirements for the online collaboration tool are well-understood now, but they may change as the project develops. Since we cannot tell what will be required, we must choose a manager whose skills are outstanding in every way.
• B) It is clear that we need a large truck in order to move all of our office equipment. Therefore, we should choose the largest truck possible.
• C) The project before us requires both human skills and conceptual skills. Therefore, we should appoint two managers: one with outstanding human skills and one with outstanding conceptual skills.
• D) We need to choose a site for the sales conference. Choosing a place close to most employees' workplaces would save travel costs, but some employees also prefer to travel to an exotic location far away. Since it will be impossible to meet both goals, we should focus on the goal that is easier to accomplish.
• E) The design of the new office building should impress visiting guests, but that should not be the dominant factor in our decision. Relatively few guests visit our offices. Instead, we should save money by choosing an energy-efficient design.
