MANAGEMT744E

Explores what constitutes high-quality managerial decision making, how managers tend to predictably fall short of these standards, and how managerial decision making can be improved. In the process, students diagnose specific biases in their own decision-making process so that they can improve both personal and professional decisions. Considerable emphasis is placed on the psychological approaches to understanding decision making and the role of uncertainty in judgment and choice. Course format includes lectures, case discussions, electronic bulletin board postings and computerized decision-making exercises, and individual and group simulations. This course is for Global Executive MBA and Weekend Executive MBA students.
