Q

subjective expected utility SEU =

A

SEU= probability of satisfaction for each alternative

bestaat uit:
- expected value of the outcomes = utility
- probability of those good or bad outcomes occurring (expectancy)

dus utility = expected value
expectancy= probability of occuring

Q

metadecisions voorbeelden

A
  • solve the problem alone, or include others?
  • programmed decision (following all standard procedures?)
  • or nonprogrammed decisions (requiring all steps from the decision model, because the problem is new/complex)

Q

problems with the rational decision paradigm

A

problems with…

  1. problem identification
  2. goals -> organizational goals are often in conflict with each other, and not clear/agreed on.
  3. information processing: human capacity cannot evaluate all alternatives and their consequences. + sequential evaluation instead of all at the same time.
  4. people rather go with satisficing (good enough) than maximazation (the highest payoff)

Q

stakeholder framing

A

als employees/suppliers iets pitchen aan hun baas, gaat diegene dat niet allemaal nog individueel researchen. het is teveel informatie voor hen, dus gaan ze er van uit dat de employee/whatever alle kanten van het probleem/opportunity heeft laten zien

Q

decisive leadership

A

leaders worden beoordeeld op hun decisiveness -> hoe snel ze iets als probleem/opportunity kunnen identificeren. daardoor geven veel leaders problemen/opportunities al heel snel door, zonder dat ze er zelf over na hebben kunnen denken.

Q

4 ways to minimize the problem identification biases

A
  • be aware of bias
  • avoid wanting to look decisive -> but carefully examinate
  • divine discontent: nooit tevreden zijn (niet mee eens)
  • discuss with colleagues
17
Q

bij opportunities wordt meestal niet gezocht naar alternatives

A

oke

18
Q

3 ways emotions influence the evaluation of alternatives

A
  1. emotions form early preferences
  2. emotions influence the decision making process
  3. emotions serve as information for choosing certain alternatives
19
Q

intuition =

A

know when a problem/opportunity is present
without conscious reasoning: know the best course of action
both emotional and nonconscious analytical process
comparing observations with deeply held patterns based on experiencce
based on action-scripts -> to make us make decisions faster

20
Q

decisions have a higher failure rate when decision makers are..

A

decisive.

21
Q

wat is een tip omdat decisions gebaseerd zijn op rational & emotional?

A

kijk er later even naar terug -> dan ben je in een andere emotionele staat.

A

evaluation: confirmation bias (overexaggerate positive outcomes, niet negatieve outcomes benoemen)

23
Q

escalation of commitment

A

tendency to repeat a bad decision

24
Q

4 reasons for escalaiton of commitment

A
  • self-justification effect: prove that your decisions will eventually be succesful
  • self-enhancement effect: want to make urself feel good
  • prospect theory: sterkere negatieve emoties bij losses dan positive emoties bij winnen
  • sunk cost effect: het is toch al gebeurd, kunnen we er maar beter alles insteken
25

A
  1. people who make the evaluation are not the same as the ones making the decision
