Second Key decision of moving the Operations to factory to cope up with demand of product once it was a hit was also non programmed decision because as this was a new young company it had no routine to cope up with situation of high demands. The environment was risk environment when introducing the product and moving it operations because during these decision owners knew through their alternative, they didn’t have much idea about their alternative but knew outcome could be a problem or successful alternative. 2.
