Psychology of Decision Making

The Psychology of Decision Making provides an overview of decision making as it relates to management, organizational behaviour issues and research.

It also discusses the interplay of group and institutional dynamics and their effects upon the decisions made within and on the behalf of organizations. Researchers and advanced students in the field of organization science, social, and industrial psychology who want a better understanding of how the field has developed as a scholarly discipline and of the processes involved in decision making will find this an excellent resource.
