satisfice
satisfice an approach to decision-making which aspires to achieve satisfactory but not optimum results. It can be a rational approach because it accepts that the perfect knowledge necessary to make the best decision is usually unattainable. Instead decision-makers will act in accordance with RULES OF THUMB which they know will at least achieve acceptable results. See ORGANIZATIONAL ANALYSIS, BUSINESS OBJECTIVES.satisfice
