Have you ever hired someone only to regret your decision two months later? Or looked at your financial portfolio and wondered why you bought the stocks you did? In Smart Choices, authors John S. Hammond, Ralph L. Keeney, and Howard Raiffa take the guesswork out of the decision-making process and offer a systematic approach to making the right choice. Most of us have problems making decisions, because we've never learned how. The authors write:
Despite the importance of decision making to our lives, few of us ever receive any training in it. So we are left to learn from experience. But experience is a costly, inefficient teacher that teaches us bad habits along with good ones. Because decision situations vary so markedly, the experience of making one important decision often seems of little use when facing the next.Smart Choices outlines eight elements involved in making the right decision, from identifying exactly what the decision is and specifying your objectives to considering risk tolerance and looking at how what you decide on today influences what you may decide in the future. The book is full of real-life situations and scenarios that effectively illustrate each element of a good decision. If you think the topic of making the right choice is mundane or a simple matter of common sense, then think again. Smart Choices will relieve you of the regret that so many of us carry because we didn't know how to "think it through." --Harry C. Edwards -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Gebundene Ausgabe .
From Booklist
The three authors, all of whom come from academic backgrounds and specialize in decision science, argue that "making smart choices is a fundamental life skill" that can be taught. They provide a practical model for decision making and demonstrate that it can be applied in both personal and business situations. They show that the key is to break the decision into its individual elements, identify those that are most important, and analyze potential outcomes. The authors also stress that decisions should be made before they turn into problems. Their so-called PROACTive approach can be broken down mnemonically. Identify the PRoblem, specify the Objectives, create Alternatives, understand the Consequences, and weigh the Trade-offs. Following these steps, one must clarify uncertainty, assess risks, and be aware of what other choices a decision might create. From choosing a career to planning an employee party, the authors use a wide range of examples to demonstrate their approach. David Rouse

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
As valuable as information is, it is surprising that so little thought goes into the application of information. The authors of this book delve into the science of decision making to offer several comprehensive models with helpful explanations and illustrations. It reads very simply, which was a turnoff for some of my friends, but the end result is a valuable education in one of the most important aspects of our lives. The material in here will be original unless you've already studied the art/science of decision making, and it is not material that is intuitive, or 'common sense'. Following the advice in this book, I quit my job with nothing lined up one year ago, and it was one of the better career moves I've made.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
When I saw this book advertised I was stuck wrestling with a major career change decision. I had been worrying about making the right decision literally for months, as my whole future seemed to be at stake. I worked right through the book in a few days and came out with a range of options with which I am happy. Most importantly, I have greatly increased my confidence in my decision and am better able to articulate my reasoning. This confidence will help me come across well in interviews and improve my chances of getting the right job. I feel relaxed about moving to the next set of decisions- which company to work for.
I found this book accessible, practical and useful. Most impressive was its holistic approach to decision-making, ranging from solid theory (clearly presented with realistic examples you can relate to), through practical tips (like "remember that your decision cannot be better than your best alternative") to a well-presented chapter on psychological traps to which people often fall victim. You will recognize many of these from your experience at work.
The first five chapters should be readily understandable by anyone. The next four ("Tradeoffs", "Uncertainty", "Risk Tolerance" and "Linked Decisions") are more complex. Although the topics are explained in a prose style (with realistic examples) the material is unquestionably heavier going and requires careful study, particularly for someone who hasn't been exposed to decision trees and probability and statistics. I believe that anyone with some high school math will be OK- just be prepared to put your thinking hat on. It's worth the effort.
After reading this book you will have a toolkit that you can carry around with you to improve my decision-making. In the office, these techniques should help you work with your bosses and colleagues to reach better decisions and avoid some mistakes. In your life as a whole, you should make smarter decisions and be happier as a result.
Format:Taschenbuch
The ability to make smart choices is a fundamental life skill and this is a no-nonsense and practical book written by three academics. If you're looking for a guide to making better decisions, whether in private life or business, look no further. The set-up of the book is brilliant. It starts qualitatively with stating the problem, objectives, consequences, alternatives etc. and leads to more quantitative tools incl. my favoured decision tree within uncertainty and risk tolerance. The final chapter says it all what this fine book is about; The Wise Decision Maker.
