Escalation in Decision-Making (eBook, ePUB)

Behavioural Economics in Business

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

When a venture seems to be faltering, do you persist and hope that things will get better or do you cut your losses? Rich in case studies involving real business decisions and dilemmas, Escalation in Decision-Making reveals why social scientists believe that owners may not respond rationally to such predicaments. Instead of exiting when the odds are clearly stacked against them, they re-invest and end up compounding their losses - a phenomenon known as escalation of commitment. Escalation in Decision Making is widely relevant to practitioners such as project managers in large organizations and to those responsible for managing risk in many situations.
