Institution:

Subject:

Description:

Staff. Crosslisted with MGMT 690. Making decisions, from the trivial to the fundamental, is part of everyday life of every manager and investor. For the last 30 years psychologists - and more recently also economists - have studied how people process information and make decisions. This research program has provided an insightful understanding how people's decisions deviate from "optimal" ones, and the consequences of such biases in financial and personal terms. This course is devoted to understanding the nature, causes, and managerial implications of these limitations. The material from this couse provides useful insights that will likely improve the student's decision making skills in many different domains.
