Natalie is completing the following two steps of the rational decision-making model:
-
Identifying the problem - She acknowledges that she does not have enough money to purchase everything she wants this month, which is the initial step in the decision-making process.
-
Performing an analysis - She is ranking each alternative option by the criteria she has set, which involves evaluating the different choices available to her.
So the correct responses are: identifying the problem and performing an analysis.
