According to whom 'Lindbloom's Incrementalist model' of decision making was quite conservative and unsatisfactory ?
Answer: B
The critic who found Lindblom's incrementalism conservative and unsatisfactory is Y. Dror.
In his 1964 article 'Muddling Through: Science or Inertia?' and in Public Policymaking Reexamined, Yehezkel Dror argued that incrementalism reinforces the existing state of affairs and resists innovation. It suits stable conditions where past policies are broadly satisfactory, but in times of rapid change it acts as an ideological reinforcement of inertia. He proposed instead a normative-optimum model combining rational and extra-rational elements.
Amitai Etzioni also criticised incrementalism and proposed mixed scanning, but he is not among the options. Lasswell, Easton and Dye are known for other contributions to policy science.
