Characteristics of human decision-making
Mumbrella 360 | 5 June 2014 | © FutureBrand 6
Limited available information
Minimal foresight into the future
Difficult to compute complicated cost-benefit equations

“Should we give up our jobs to make these smoothies? Yes or No.
Who was responsible for the Challenger space shuttle disaster? Rockwell, Lockheed, Martin Marietta or Morton Thiokol?
