Practical and Insightful, In a newer version,
By dgray "dgray" (Arlington, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Decision Traps: The Ten Barriers to Decision-Making and How to Overcome Them (Paperback)
I read this book as part of a class in graduate school, and I found it to be quite practical, not only providing insights into ways that decisions can go wrong, but also steps that can be taken to reduce biases in your decisions due to errors in the process, although some of the strategies can only be effectively implemented at the organizational level.
I consulted this book because it was in two different bibliographies, one from my professor's notes, the other from Plous' book, "The Psychology of Judgment and Decision Making." What I didn't realize until after I had read this book was that it has been updated and reissued under a different name, "Winning Decisions : Getting It Right the First Time." If I were buying it again, I would order the newer version.

One of the best management psych books,

This review is from: Decision Traps: The Ten Barriers to Decision-Making and How to Overcome Them (Paperback)
I had the pleasure of taking Jay Russo's course at Cornell that he used to prototype this book. The course was great, and the book shows it. It's a readable, understandable guide to the primary psychological traps that make people make bad decisions. You'll be left with the feeling, "why didn't *I* notice that?"

Highly Useful,
By Shree (Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Decision Traps: The Ten Barriers to Decision-Making and How to Overcome Them (Paperback)
I came across a reference to this book in my Economics Textbook in my MBA. The name attracted and hence I bought this book.This is an excellent book that explains how managers, however experienced, can become complacent and forget major steps in decision making. It really helped me to understand decision making as a process in a better manner than what I had already learnt. I think that everyone who makes any major decisions, in whatever capacity, should read this book. It helped me to think better.
