ABSTRACT
The present chapter starts with an overview of recent decision research related to Differentiation and Consolidation theory and continues with a study of a realworld decision which fills in some of the gaps in knowledge from earlier research. Because detailed presentations of Differentiation and Consolidation (Diff Con) theory are available elsewhere (Svenson, 1992, 1996) and in Chapter 3 of this volume, a very brief account of the theory will be given in the present context.
