According to the normative decision model, when decision acceptance is important and subordinates are likely to disagree among themselves about the best solution to an important problem, which decision procedures are NOT appropriate?

Student answers may vary. The normative decision model provides a set of rules for identifying any decision procedure that is not appropriate in a given situation, because decision quality and/or acceptance would be jeopardized by using that procedure. When decision acceptance is important and subordinates are likely to disagree among themselves about the best solution to an important problem, autocratic procedures (A-I, AI-I) and individual consultation (C-I) are not appropriate, because they do not provide the opportunity to resolve differences through discussion and negotiation among subordinates and between the subordinates and the leader.
