As we move into the 21st century and increasingly rely on information technology and human resources management, how individuals process and use information become increasingly important. Perspectives on Judgment and Decision Making contains twenty-five articles written by experts that cover six distinct categories: (a) general models and applications of decision making, (b) cross-cultural factors in decision making, (c) medical decision making, (d) legal decision making, (e) group decision making, and (f) approaches to the evaluation of decision making.

The diversity of topics covered in this book and the issues examined in the various articles (including gender, cultural differences, "group-think," and the interplay between theory, methodology, and application) makes this an important resource for managers, researchers, practitioners, and students, and a supplementary text for university courses on decision making.
