Decision making and Interpersonal Skills Decision making

Mr. S. Hariharan has been the Deputy Commissioner of a district for the last six months. Ever since his appointment, the villagers in his district have been entreating him to build paved roads connecting all the villages to the district headquarters so that their farm produce can be brought to market quickly. The district is rich in agricultural produce but much of the crop is being wasted due to a lack of motorable roads. However, the state's FWD department has informed him that due to budgetary constraints, they will be able to implement only one of the following:

Decision 1: They will be able to build good quality paved roads for only half the villages.

Decision 2: They will be able to build poor quality 'paved roads (which will quickly result in potholes and craters) for all the villages which will require repaving after two years.
