Terms in this set (93)________ ________ is the process of developing a commitment to some course of action. Decision making A ________ exists when a gap is perceived between some existing state and some desired state. Problem For a ________ ________ ________, the existing state is clear, the desired state is clear, and how to get from one state to the other is fairly obvious. Well-structured problem A ________ is simply a standardized way of solving a problem Program An ________ ________ ________ is a problem in which the existing and desired states are unclear and the method of getting to the desired state (even if clarified) is unknown. Ill-structured problem What is the rational decision making process? Decision making involves making a(n) ________ among several action alternatives. Second, decision making is a(n) _________ that involves more than simply the final choice among alternatives. Finally, the "commitment" mentioned in the definition usually involves some commitment of ____________. a) List; ranking; employees b) Choice; process; resources A problem exists when a gap is perceived between some existing state and some ____________. a) Other state d) Desired state Because decision making takes time and is prone to error, organizations (and individuals) attempt to ___________ the decision making for well-structured problems. a) Ignore b) Program Rules, routines, standard operating procedures, and rules of thumb are all _____________. a) Well-structured problems d) Programs Ill-structured problems are generally _________; that is, they are unusual and have not been encountered before. a) Unique a) Unique ________ ________ is a decision strategy that is completely informed, perfectly logical, and orientated toward economic gain. Perfect rationality ________ ________ is a decision strategy that relies on limited information and that reflects time constraints and political considerations. Bounded rationality ________ refers to the (sometimes subtle) aspects of the presentation of information about a problem that are assumed by decision makers. Framing ________ ________ are tendencies to acquire and process information in a particular way that is prone to error Cognitive biases ________ ________ the tendency to seek out information that conforms to one's own definition of or solution to a problem. Confirmation bias ________ ________ ________ ________ is the tendency to ignore or harbor negative attitudes toward ideas from outside one's own organization or project team. Not-invented-here bias ________ ________ is the reception of more information than is necessary to make effective decisions. Information overload ________ is the choice of the decision alternative with the greatest expected value. Maximization The ________ ________ illustrates that decision makers do not adjust their estimates enough from some initial estimate that serves as an (often irrelevant) anchor. Anchoring effect ________ means that the decision maker establishes an adequate level of acceptability for a solution and then screens solutions until he or she finds one that exceeds this level. Satisficing ________ ________ are permanent losses of resources incurred as the result of a decision. Sunk costs ________ ________ ________ is the tendency to invest additional resources in an apparently failing course of action. Escalation of commitment ________ refers to the tendency to review the decision-making process that was used to find out what was done right (in the case of success) or wrong (in the case of failure).

"Economic man" is informed, logical, and oriented to economic gain True or false? Not everyone makes perfectly rational decision making, but in free markets, rational behaviour would typically prevail. False (persisted for ~30 years as an underlying assumption of decision making) In bounded rationality, what are decisions often based on? Decisions are often based on limited info, time constraints, and political considerations True or false? People often think they are being rational when they are not. True True or false? Relying on heuristics and intuition is always bad False True or false? We can't assume our judgments are good building blocks for decisions because our judgments themselves may be flawed. True What are cognitive biases and what do they refer to? Cognitive biases refer to the tendency to acquire and process information an in error-prone way What are heuristics and what do they refer to? Heuristics are judgmental shortcuts that lead to quick decisions but can result in mistakes True or false? How a question is framed can affect the answer. True What is prospect theory? Value of gains is less than value of losses; Loss of X hurts about twice as much as a gain of X pleases What are sunk costs? Sunk costs are permanent losses of resources incurred as the result of a past decision True or false? Given that such resources are lost, sunk costs never impact future costs and benefits False Are original or different decision makers and groups more likely to escalate? Original What are some causes of escalation of commitment? Self-Justification Theory: People want to reduce dissonance by recouping sunk costs Confirmation Bias: Focus on information indicating potential for success Prospect Theory: Reframing of decision as sure loss of x dollars versus uncertain loss of x + y dollars Impression Management: Social norms favour consistent behaviours How can we prevent escalation of commitment? - Seek disconfirming information What is anchoring? Tendency to rely heavily or anchor on one piece of information when making decisions What is the availability heuristic? Tendency to predict frequency of an event (or proportion within a population) based on how easily an example comes to mind What are some advantages and disadvantages of group decision making? Advantages Disadvantages When does groupthink happen? - Strong identification with the group Students also viewedWeek 1239 terms haileymccallaPlus Chapter 1245 terms camp_clark hrob chapter 1173 terms jackvalleau OBHR 2P91 Conflict ch 1353 terms kuljot20 Sets found in the same folderBU288 - 13: Conflict and Stress85 terms RJChamberlain BU288 - 7: Groups and Teamwork86 terms RJChamberlain BU288 - 6: Motivation in Practice92 terms RJChamberlain HTH 601 - Q.
