BBA 3826: Unit II Essay


There are many different biases in decision-making. For this assignment, I will describe

each of the three general heuristics, which had been discussed in this unit. I will then describe

how one of these heuristics, associated with bias, plays a part in an original decision-making

scenario. I will also provide an explanation of how biases could have been overcome, to

the memories are, due to the nature of certain events (Bazerman & Moore, 2013. p. 35). Another

bias that is considered in the availability heuristic, is how recent an event occurred. Recent

events can be easier recalled than events that occurred long ago, based on how fresh, or, recent,

the memory occurred. This bias can be seen in-action when tending to make decisions which are

based on familiarity, or based on a comfort zone, or comfort level (Hayibor, et. al., 2009).

how the bias of insensitivity of bates rates can affect decisions, such as a woman basing her
