Satisficing - Jenifer Tidwell

This quote was added by mario_garcia
The term satisficing is a combination of satisfying and sufficing. It was coined in 1957 by social scientist Herbert Simon, who used it to describe the behavior of people in all kinds of economic and social situations. People are willing to accept "good enough" instead of "best" if learning all the alternatives might cost time or effort.
