    Solution

    Satisficing is a decision-making process in which an individual makes a choice that is satisfactory rather than optimal.2It would require a great deal of effort – and may not even be possible – to gather all the necessary information in order tomake the best decision, and satisficing thus represents the kinds of decisions we are actually capable of making. Satisficing is all about making ‘good enough’ decisions instead of perfect ones.
