Question

reed is trying to find a better way to get to work that will reduce his commute time. he decides to try taking the city bus instead of his usual method of driving.
in which stage of the innovation process is reed?
a.) observing
b.) experimenting
c.) researching
d.) adjusting

Explanation:

To determine the stage, we analyze each option:

• Observing: Involves noticing a problem/need, but Reed is acting, not just observing.
• Experimenting: Involves trying out a new approach (here, taking the bus instead of driving) to solve the problem (reduce commute time). This matches Reed's action.
• Researching: Involves gathering info, but Reed is implementing a new method, not researching.
• Adjusting: Involves modifying after trying, but Reed is trying the new method now, not adjusting post - trial.

Answer:

b.) Experimenting
