Synopsis

Good decision making is crucial to good management and successful strategic planning. Sadly the decision making capabilities within organisations are often poor. Using a fascinating and very readable combination of psychological theory, pencil--and--paper thought problems, and material from contemporary media, George Wright demonstrates why high--profile strategic disasters occur and how to prevent your own organisation from making similar mistakes. Case studies include Marks & Spencer, Dyson, Baringa s Bank and the Millennium Dome.
