Week 3 D-2 Constraints


Internal and external constraints are two different things. Internal constraints have to deal with those integral to the problem, they might have caused the initial problem. External constraints deal with those imposed in the decision-making process, such as money, knowledge base, time, energy, or other things that a group might need to make a decision. So basically the difference between the two is that external constraints are factors that affect the decision making process rather than the problem itself and internal constraints are embedded directly to the problem and could be the vital cause of it. An example of an internal constraint for me would be my second job coming to an end. I work for a baseball organization and the season is done so I now need to pick up another job.  With that happening it leads to the external constraint of not having enough money for things that I need.
