We outline a conceptual framework for strategic foresight activities - and their relationships with decision making under uncertainty - as a planned learning process about the future which enables managers not to know opportunities and threats in advance, but to detect them more promptly and to react more effectively as soon as they start emerging.
The emergent framework offers system and organisational awareness, but also unpacks some of the detail of how uncertainty is expressed and experienced in working relationships and decision making at the resident and service level of care.
This study also documents a relationship between decision making rationality and pricing capabilities (but not firm performance) thus suggesting that intuition in pricing decisions could drive firm performance.
Majority rule moderated the relationship between decision making style diversity and process conflict, but rational and spontaneous styles exhibited distinct interactive effects.
The implementation of the concept in the health care settings can help to improve the doctor patient relationship, medical decision making about the treatment and its impact, and also patients' and care givers' perspective about the disease and its treatment.
Previous studies investigated the relationship of decision making with performance in other cognitive domains of the PFC, such as executive functions (EFs) and working memory (WM), arguing for a dissociation of decision-making abilities from other cognitive prefrontal lobe functions (Toplak et al., 2010).
However, there is also evidence for an asymmetrical relationship of decision making and WM in healthy subjects (Suhr & Hammers, 2010) and in patients with frontal lobe lesions (Bechara et al., 1998; Manes et al., 2002), but also in nonlesional frontal lobe disorders (Duarte et al., 2012).
Purpose of this study was to explore motivations to donate or accept a (living donor) kidney, whether expected relationship changes influence decision making and whether relationship changes are actually experienced.
Purpose of the present study therefore was to explore motivations to donate or accept a living donor kidney or to pursue deceased donor kidney transplantation, and to assess whether expected relationship changes influence decision making and whether such relationship changes are actually experienced.
The underlying models provide a way to test and accumulate knowledge about forest response to succession and disturbance and to use those relationships to support decision making with the best available science.
