Frage 10 von 45

1

What all is included to avoid escalation of commitment to a losing course of action?

Wähle eine oder mehr der folgenden:

SET LIMITS Ideally, a team should determine at the outset what criteria and performance standards justify continued investment in the project or program in question.
AVOID THE BYSTANDER EFFECT: In many situations, especially ambiguous ones, people are not sure how to behave and do nothing because they don't want to appear foolish. This dynamic explains the bystander effect, or the tendency to not take action when others are around.
AVOID TUNNEL VISION: Get several perspectives on the problem. Ask people who are not personally involved in the situation for their appraisal.
RECOGNIZE SUNK COSTS: Probably the most powerful way to avoid escalation of commitment is to simply recognize and accept sunk costs. Sunk costs are resources, such as money and time, previously invested that cannot be recovered. If making the initial decision today, would you make the investment currently under consideration (as a continuing investment), or would you choose another course of action? If the decision is not one that you would choose anew, you might want to start thinking about how to terminate the project and move to the next one.
AVOID BAD MOOD: Unpleasant emotional states are often implicated in poor decision making. Negative affect (such as bad mood, anger, and embarrassment) leads to nonoptimal courses of action—holding out the hope for some highly positive but risky outcome. When people are upset, they tend to choose high-risk, high-payoff options.
EXTERNAL REVIEW: In some cases, it is necessary to remove or replace the original decision makers from deliberations precisely because they are biased. One way to do this is with an external review of departments

Halo Effect: It’s when we make an inference about specific traits on the basis of a general impression. It’s a mental short cut as we tend to grasp with relevant and tangible information, like performance. So we take that relevant information and make attributions about other stuff that are more vague or ambiguous. Pretty much a rule of thumb that lets people make guess about things that are hard to assess directly.
