Assume you are a manager in a large manufacturing organization. You have been asked to consider outsourcing a division of the organization to another country.

• Describe the steps you would take in evaluating this decision.
• Explore whether or not you would use prescriptive or descriptive decision-making and explain your reasoning.
• Evaluate the critical thinking skills you believe would be necessary to make this decision.

You must demonstrate your ability to describe the steps you would take in the decision-making process rather than merely providing an answer to this scenario. The paper should be well-crafted, demonstrate careful development of thought, and exhibit critical thinking skill as appropriate to graduate level academic writing.

The paper should be 4-6 pages long, double-spaced, and formatted according to APA style guidelines. Use at least three peer-reviewed scholarly sources to support your decision.
