Passage One
Managers face problems constantly. Some problems that require a decision are relatively simple; others seem overwhelming. Some demand immediate action, while others take months or even years to unfold.
Actually, managers often ignore problems. For several reasons, they avoid taking action. First, managers can’t be sure how much time, energy, or trouble lies ahead once they start working on a problem. Second, getting involved is risky; tackling a problem but failing to solve it successfully can hurt the manager’s track record. Third, because problems can be so perplexing, it is easier to procrastinate or to get busy with less demanding activities.
There are several characteristics of managerial decisions that contribute to their difficulty and pressure, such as lack of structure, involvement of risk, uncertainty, and conflict.
Well-structured problems have objectively correct answers; they can be solved by using simple rules or numerical computations. But managers typically face ill-structured problems —— problems with no proven answers, at least not until some time in the future. Such problems may have a number of possible solutions, all of which have merits and drawbacks.

A. they have the answers proven correct objectively
B. they can be easily dealt with by managers using relevant rules
C. they may have a number of possible solutions with merits and demerits
