About this Item

Neuware - Das menschliche Urteilsvermögen war Gegenstand jahrelanger Forschungen zur Entscheidungsfindung und Prognose. Während anfangs der Schwerpunkt der Forschung auf der relativen Genauigkeit von urteilsmäßigen und statistischen Prognosen lag, hat sich das Interesse dahingehend verlagert, daß nun untersucht wird, wie der Urteilende zu seiner Prognose kommt und wie die Prognosegenauigkeit durch geeignete Unterstützung verbessert werden kann. Im Anschluß an ihren Vorläufer 'Judgemental Forecasting' haben Wright und Goodwin eine Reihe von Abhandlungen zusammengetragen, die von herausragenden Akademikern verfaßt wurden, sich hauptsächlich mit Prognosen befassen und ein breites, multi-disziplinäres Publikum anvisieren. Behandelt werden in leicht verständlicher Weise neue und zukünftige Probleme.
