IS YOUR JUDGEMENT INFLUENCED BY PERSONAL BIASES?
In situations requiring careful judgment, we're all influenced by our own biases to some extent. But, with Max Bazerman's JUDGMENT IN MANAGERIAL DECISION MAKING, you can learn how to overcome those biases to make better managerial decisions.
The text examined judgment in a variety of organizational contexts, and provides practical strategies for changing your decision-making processes and improving these processes sp that they become part of your permanent behavior. Throughout, you'll find numerous hands-on decision exercises and examples from the author's extensive executive training experience that will help you improve the quality of your managerial judgment.
