question 6 of 10
according to the paced decision - making tool, what is the first step in decision making?
a. define the problem
b. evaluate the alternatives
c. list the alternatives
d. pick criteria

Explanation:

The PACED decision - making tool starts with defining the problem. Without clearly identifying what the decision is about (defining the problem), the subsequent steps (listing alternatives, picking criteria, evaluating alternatives) would lack context. For example, if you don't know whether you are deciding on a career path or a vacation destination (defining the problem), you can't list relevant job - related or travel - related alternatives.

Answer:

A. Define the problem
