ORGL 560 - INNOVATION AND DECISION MAKING


Credits: Three
This course focuses on theories of decision-making and innovation from disciplines as diverse as psychology, sociology, economics, and the cognitive sciences. Students will learn to identify and frame problems, evaluate and choose alternatives, implement decisions, and evaluate decision outcomes. We will explore automatic and controlled thinking processes, biased decision heuristics, contingency models of involvement in decision making, and complex values and attitudes that you can apply to your everyday decision making processes in your organization. In addition, students will learn creative problem-solving processes for innovation.
