Who finds Lindblom's 'Incremental model' is quite conservative and unsatisfactory ?
Answer: B
The critic is Yehezkel Dror.
In 'Muddling Through: Science or Inertia?' (1964) Dror argued that Lindblom's incremental model suits only conditions of stability, where past policies are broadly satisfactory, and that applied generally it would reinforce inertia and resist innovation. That is the charge that incrementalism is conservative and unsatisfactory, and Dror answered it with his normative optimum model.
Amitai Etzioni also found incrementalism inadequate, but his response was the mixed-scanning model, which combines it with broad rational review; the question's wording is the textbook summary of Dror's critique. John Harsanyi is known for game theory, and Laurence Lynn for public management.
