Judgment and Decision Making 3

RUNNING HEAD: JUDGMENT AND DECISION MAKING Topic: Judgment and Decision Making Institute: Name: Judgment and Decision Making TOPIC NO. 1. March, James. (1994). A primer on decision making: How Decisions Happen. Chapter 2: Rule Following. New York: Free Press. Though chapter one remains of importance there is some sort of disownment on the satisfaction. The issues with which it handles might at least hinder other readers from destruction to think about potential connected issues that do not appear in the scope of the plan Chapter two end up introducing the central theme of the book. The significance of looking at rules as the crude probabilistic generalizations that might when followed they may give rise to certain instances decisions that are suboptimal or even plainly erroneous. First it take up the descriptive generalization, giving emphasize on the potentiality of concentrating on unimportant and suppressing the importance, and then show how prospective rules also incorporated, hence hinging the descriptive generalization still containing these potentially error-producing traits. As the consequence, from the perspective of their background justifications, prescriptive rules are either actually or potentially. The prescriptive rules may be under or above these that are inclusive. The chapter three gives the difference between conversational and entrenchment models of generalization. Under the former, bellow or above inclusive generalizations are adaptable as the needs of the moment require, but under the later the generalization contained try too resist such continuous malleability. Decision that are based on rules can consequently be looked at as the kind of making decision in which such entrenchments that are generalized give reasons for the decision qua generalizations, do not depend on the reasons that their background justifications supply. If the force of rules thus resides in the phenomenon of being entrenched and in deed so I argue, then it becomes necessary to locate the sources of entrenchment. In examining the relationship among the rules, the formulation of rules, language and the meaning of the rules actual or potential formation is more concentrated to the understanding of the power than how it is usually used. The chapter four of the book generates a precise definition of the decisions that are based on rules and how they exist. The difference between the decisions based on rules and these that are particularistic, concentrating on the sub optimality of the rules and showing how the specify that is limited and the malleable limitations of these rules that follow the theory. Personal Experience: During the first year once I joined the college I was issued with rules and regulations which govern conduct which the students should follow while they are in the college. The aspect of rule following influenced my decision making process for what ever I decide to do it must conform to the rules and regulations being set. With such a predetermined guidelines and regulations I am bound to confine my decisions with the rules which should be followed else I would have been termed as being rebellious and be subjected to disciplinary actions which are enforced based on the rule which one has differed to follow.
