Decision-Making Processes explores the science and psychology behind effective decision-making, relevant to management and business. It emphasizes improving decisions systematically, acknowledging that superior decision-making is a developed skill, not an innate talent. Readers will learn to recognize and mitigate cognitive biases like confirmation bias, which often distort judgment. The book also introduces structured frameworks to enhance clarity and promote rational choices, crucial in today's fast-paced business environments.
The book progresses from foundational cognitive science principles to practical implementations. It examines the evolution of decision theory, highlighting the limitations of purely rational approaches and emphasizing the importance of psychological insights. The book delves into specific cognitive biases with real-world examples, explores decision-making frameworks like cost-benefit analysis, and culminates in an integrative model.
This approach, integrating cognitive awareness with management tools, distinguishes it from other books in the field.
