Excerpt from The Practical Justifiability of "Irrational" Aversion to Risk
My aim is to persuade management scientists, and social scientists generally, of a specific need for modification of decision theory as a prescriptive guide to real - world decision-making. The issue raised here was raised and apparently resolved in the early nineteen - fifties. It reappears when one recognizes the necessity of explicitly confronting cognitive limitations in a prescriptive theory of management.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the validity of the expected utility hypothesis in the face of the cognitive limitations of real-world decision-makers. The author argues that when individuals confront local problems within a larger global context, they may justifiably depart from the assumptions of monotonicity (the preference for risk-aversion). The book explores situations where these deviations occur, arguing that decision theory should consider cognitive limitations and provide alternative frameworks for prescriptive guidance. This book offers a valuable analysis of the complexities of real-world decision-making and its implications for normative theory and empirical research on individual decisions and microeconomics.
