Bounded rationality

Some of these biases include confirmation, self-serving, belief, and framing bias (Appelbaum, 2015). Colquitt, LePine, and Wesson, like Appelbaum, mention several similar biases, like framing and self-serving, but also discuss topics such as bounded rationality, which is defined as “…the notion that decision makers simply do not have the ability or resources to process all available information and alternatives to make an optimal decision.” (Organiztional Behavior , p. 255).

Rational choice theory (RCT) and situational crime prevention (SCP) are two different things, but they go hand-in-hand. The two articles discussed in this paper are surrounding this topic. The first article written by Hayward criticized RCT and SCP, while Farrell’s article countered Hayward.

Under this lens, certain…

Lack of Development Opportunities for Executives Organizational leaders have many skills. They are educated and have gained a great deal of experience in leading others (Bass, 1990). The development of leaders is a logical progression that occurs over time. Bass (1990) contended that a leader’s developmental needs must be defined in order to maximize the developmental process. According to Cooper and Sawaf (1998), the ability to be authentic with others, along with the ability to work with…

psychologists have developed the popular cumulative prospect theory (CPT) to describe observed decision making behavior. In this study, an attempt is made in applying the CPT to reveal the implied seismic design preference by decision makers of bounded rationality. An approach incorporating the CPT, seismic risk assessment, and lifecycle cost analysis is used to investigate the sensitivity of the implied seismic design preferences to risk attitudes and possible people’s overreaction and…
