Why garbage can?

"The Garbage Can Model" is an organization behavior model developed by Michael Cohen in 1972. The model doesn't see the decision-making process as a sequence of steps that begins with a problem and ends with a solution. Instead, decisions are the outcome of independent streams of events. These are problem points, potential solutions, participants and choice opportunities. The organization is a 'garbage can' where these streams are stirred. It suggests four consequences that arise from the decision-making process: solutions may be proposed even when problems do not exist; choices are made without solving problems; problems may persist without being solved; some problems are solved.
