Diversity in gender, experience and
background
Matrimonial restrictions of Indian society
Mindset of Aman and Aradhya
Josephs attitude towards female
associates

Decision Analysis
Linda should conduct one-on-one meeting
with every member of the group
Discuss with Joseph regarding the rightful
candidate and give him the feedbacks that
others have for him
Propose Josephs name to the manager
Propose Aradhyas name to the manager

Plan of Action
Propose Aradhyas name to the manager
She is capable enough to handle the job
Opportunity to newly inducted capable
associates
Would be a great source of motivation
Wouldnt be of much significance to the
experienced associates as there is no job
enrichment promised
