Abstract:

The three chapters of this thesis investigate social aspects of judgment and decision making. Chapter One analyses the consequences of making decisions based on predictions of future well-being, and the conditions under which advice can improve these decisions. It shows that an interaction between errors in affective forecasts and the choice process leads to suboptimal decisions and disappointment, and establishes conditions under which advice reduces these effects. The second chapter investigates the boundaries of the result that eliciting more than one estimate from the same person and avera

Abstract:

In today’s business world, decisions have to be made on different levels, including strategic, tactical, and operational levels. Decisions on the strategic level are characterized by their complexity, longevity and impact. Such decisions can benefit from the participation of a large, diverse group of people as they contribute different background knowledge, perspectives, and evaluation criteria. Typically, such decisions need to be considered over a prolonged period of time as opinions may need to be formed or may change due to the availability of new information.

Abstract:

The role of irrational or emotional factors in investor decision making has been well recognised (Thaler, 1999; Kahneman & Tversky, 1979; Shefrin & Statman, 1985). However, existing research fails to adequately take into account the role of corporate reputation. This thesis attempts to overcome this limitation and follows a two stage research design for the same. In the first and qualitative stage, the decision-making of groups of investors was observed by attending the monthly meetings of investment clubs as an observer. The reputation of the company was found to be the most prominent factor

Abstract:

The present work explores improvements in group decision-making. It begins with a practical example using state-of-the-art techniques for a complex, high-risk decision. We show how these techniques can reveal a better alternative. Although we created an improved decision process, decision-makers were apt to protect their own organizations instead of the project. This tendency was reduced over the course of the decision-making process but inspired the first conceptual component of this work. The first concept describes the “Cost of Conflict” that can arise in a group decision, using game th

Abstract:

In organizations with decision makers across multiple hierarchical levels, conflicting objectives are commonly observed. The decision maker, or agent, at the highest level usually makes decisions in the interest of the organization, while a subordinate agent may have a conflict of interest between taking a course of action that is best for the organization and the course of action that is best for itself. <br />The Multiscale Decision-Making (MSDM) model was established by Wernz (2008).

This division of individuals into specific cliques, along with the lawyers' performance in court, is hypothesized to have a significant impact on the jury's verdict. <br /><br /> Thus, by specifically studying the lawyers' engagement and disengag

In this thesis, we illustrate with a parametric specification how the Markowitz model, supplemented with a small degree of probability distortion, is able to explain majority choices in experimental evidence (e.g. Allais paradox), as well as gambling at actuarially unfair odds. We employ a graphical method to reveal that the different parameters employed in Allais experiments have vastly different implications for the ranges of probability distortion and parameters of the value function for which agents will act as if expected utility maximisers, even when they exhibit probability distortion.

Abstract:

Decision making is the crucial step in many real applications such as financial planning, organization management, products evaluation and recommendation. Qualitative information is widely used for expressing evaluations or preferences of experts among alternatives under different criteria. In many cases, decision making is to order alternatives and select the top one or few in the rank ordering of the alternatives. Orderings provide a very natural and effective way of resolving indeterminate situations in real life decision making problems. This thesis focuses on the representation and reason

Abstract:

We investigate algorithms for different steps in the decision making process, focusing on systems where we are uncertain about the outcomes but can quantify how probable they are using random variables. Any decision one makes in such a situation leads to a distribution of outcomes and requires a way to evaluate a decision. The standard approach is to marginalise the distribution of outcomes into a single number that tries in some way to summarise the value of each decision. After selecting a marginalisation approach, mathematicians and decision makers focus their analysis on the marginalised v

Finally, competition across households determines a feasible allocation of resources. I consider a model with two types of individuals and pure group external

Abstract:

Operating and interacting in an environment requires the ability to manage uncertainty and to choose definite courses of action. In this thesis we look to Bayesian probability theory as the means to achieve the former, and find that through rigorous application of the rules it prescribes we can, in theory, solve problems of decision making under uncertainty. Unfortunately such methodology is intractable in realworld problems, and thus approximation of one form or another is inevitable. Many techniques make use of heuristic procedures for managing uncertainty. We note that such methods suffer u

Strategic decisions involving mergers and acquisitions often hinge on one or two critical evaluations. Similarly, when hiring a new manager, potential candidates are often rejected if they are lacking on a critical dimension. In my dissertation, I examined the way in which these critical dimensions are used to screen decision alternatives. Specifically, I am examining the nature of Image Theory's violation and rejection thresholds (the compatibility test) in the screening and elimination of undesirable decision options.
