書(shū)目名稱(chēng) | Why Managers and Companies Take Risks | 編輯 | Les Coleman | 視頻video | http://file.papertrans.cn/1029/1028146/1028146.mp4 | 叢書(shū)名稱(chēng) | Contributions to Management Science | 圖書(shū)封面 |  | 描述 | This book uses risk in its dictionary meaning as the probabiHty of an unde- sirable outcome, and has two research questions: when managers make de- cisions, what leads them to choose a risky alternative? and: what deter- mines whether the decision proves correct? Answers to these questions form a model of decision making that explains the process and results of managers‘ risk-taking in the real world. There is an extensive literature on risk and decision making because the topic has been of interest in many disciplines since at least the 18^^ century. Thus insights on the research questions are available from studies of ani- mals, humans and organisations; and have been drawn by scholars in biol- ogy, psychology, finance and management. Even so, there is a large gap as most studies are conducted away from corporate settings and use subjects with limited decision experience. The few studies set in real-world condi- tions tend to concentrate on just a single aspect of decision makers‘ attrib- utes, setting and behaviour, and on either decision choices or outcomes. The empirical work in this book is designed to fill part of this gap. | 出版日期 | Book 2006 | 關(guān)鍵詞 | Corporate Governance; Decision Making; Risks; management; organization; performance | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/3-7908-1696-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-7908-1695-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-7908-1696-9Series ISSN 1431-1941 Series E-ISSN 2197-716X | issn_series | 1431-1941 | copyright | Physica-Verlag Heidelberg 2006 |
