Begin by reading the following short article about the Olympic Games in Torino (also called Turin):

MOUNTING TROUBLES IN TURIN, U.S. News & World Report; 2/13/2006, Vol. 140 Issue 5, p30-31, 2p, 1c.

The article is easy to access via the Ebsco search database on the library website.

As you read the article think about the last step in the Decision-Making Process (Exhibit 4-2 in the textbook). Given what is discussed in the article about how to determine the success of the games (see the part of the article that compares the issues facing the Torino games to those faced by previous Olympic Games in Greece and Barcelona), notice that the "evaluation" step in decision making is often the hardest - because to determine if a decision was effective or not depends upon how you measure effectiveness/success.
