Study Notes
Cognitive Biases
-
Framing Effect: Decision preferences depend heavily on how a problem is presented ("framed"). A "loss" frame is more influential than a "gain" frame. Behavioral economics acknowledges that people don't always make rational choices, unlike traditional economics. People are more motivated by the potential loss than the potential gain.
-
Fix-Pie Assumption: A tendency to see situations as win-lose, stemming from a competitive society. This leads to a distributive (rather than integrative) approach to negotiations, hindering both everyday and international interactions. Thinking creatively to find "win-win" options is crucial.
-
Winner's Curse: Arises when one party holds better information than the other, leading to overestimation of a situation's value resulting in potentially overpaying. This overconfidence negatively impacts negotiation outcomes. Seeking external expertise and objective assessments is vital to address potential overestimation, making negotiation more successful.
Effective Decision Making
-
Guidelines: Consider cultural nuances, recognize when to stop, and implement an effective decision-making process.
-
HRO Habits: Highly reliable organizations (HROs) avoid complacency, empower frontline experts, embrace uncertainty, anticipate limitations, and maintain a balanced view of success and failure.
-
Effective Decision-Making Process: Focus on crucial aspects, maintain logical consistency, blend subjective and objective thinking (analytical and intuitive), gather just enough information, encourage informed input, and use a streamlined and adaptable method.
