Review "The Psychology of Decision Making, Second Edition recounts the search for a useful and comprehensive way of describing what people do when they make decisions and what they should do but often do not. It also discusses the interplay of group and institutional dynamics and their effects upon the decisions made within and on behalf of organizations. The Second Edition has been entirely revised and updated to reflect recent research and changing perspectives with the help of new co-author Terry Connolly." "Researchers and advanced students in the fields of organizational science, social psychology, and industrial psychology who want a better understanding of the processes involved in decision making will find this an excellent resource."--BOOK JACKET.
