{"product_id":"framing-decisions-j-davidson-frame-9781118014899","title":"Framing Decisions","description":"The economic crisis of 2008-2009 was a transformational event: it demonstrated that smart people aren't as smart as they and the public think. The crisis arose because a lot of highly educated people in high-impact positions-- political power brokers, business leaders, and large segments of the general public--made a lot of bad decisions despite unprecedented access to data, highly sophisticated decision support systems, methodological advances in the decision sciences, and guidance from highly experienced experts. How could we get things so wrong? The answer, says J. Davidson Frame in \u003ci\u003eFraming Decisions: Decision Making That Accounts for Irrationality, People, and Constraints\u003c\/i\u003e, is that traditional processes do not account for the three critical immeasurable elements highlighted in the book's subtitle-- irrationality, people, and constraints. \u003cp\u003eFrame argues that decision-makers need to move beyond their single-minded focus on rational and optimal solutions as preached by the traditional paradigm. They must accommodate a decision's \u003ci\u003esocial space\u003c\/i\u003e and address the realities of dissimulation, incompetence, legacy, greed, peer pressure, and conflict. In the final analysis, when making decisions of consequence, they should focus on people - both as individuals and in groups.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFraming Decisions\u003c\/i\u003e offers a new approach to decision making that gets decision-makers to put people and social context at the heart of the decision process. It offers guidance on how to make decisions in a real world filled with real people seeking real solutions to their problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e J.
