Show your understanding of the garbage can model by explaining what might be in the garbage can for decision making related to 3 of the 4 elements of the model (what is in garbage can from the handout -- choices looking for problems, issues/feelings looking for decisions to affect, solutions looking for problems, and decision-makers looking for something to do) for the case below. This means, you will need to provide some possible examples of items/activities/knowledge that might be part of the garbage can for that company. (You can use your imagination and add to the case if you like so you can illustrate the possible garbage can issues.) CASE: You are an office manager who has eight subordinates, each of whom have identical jobs. It is time to set up a vacation schedule for the summer. All of the workers are highly competent, but you can spare only one of them at a time to go on vacation. Each worker gets two weeks of vacation, but the two weeks do not need to be taken together. Several of the workers have mentioned that they would like to take their vacations in July. There are several policies related to seniority at the company, but there is no policy for deciding vacation days. The department has used a team approach to decision making in the past. Your subordinates are eager for the vacation schedule to be determined so they can plan their vacations.
