Uncertainty affects us in our everyday lives, and in a wide range
of situations but how do individuals and indeed organisations
respond to uncertainty and how does it impact their decision-making
and actions? Based on the latest developments in academic research,
the author offers solid advice on how to manage uncertainty in
every-day life, bringing a new perspective to these issues and
extrapolating this to offer implications for an organisational and
managerial context. The author brings this emerging area of
research to a wider audience by: Tying together insights from
various fields including psychology, engineering, business and
management. Creating a framework for usefully applying the research
concepts in every-day life. Extrapolating insights from the
psychology of individual decision makers to the organisational
context and managerial decision-making. Creating highly applicable
and impactful recommendations for how managers, organisations, and
every day people can understand and manage uncertainty in their
life. The book is divided into two main parts. Part I deals with
the behaviour of individuals facing uncertainty and includes
accessible explanations and examples of every-day applications,
while Part II deals with behaviour in organisations facing
uncertainty, where insights from Part I are combined and related to
the organisational and work context to explore how, for example,
(mis)-perceptions and decision-making biases impact managerial
life. This is a must read for both managers and those who are
seeking to better understand their own behaviour and management
approach.
