ABSTRACT

Introduction

People make decisions about various dynamic problems, ranging from very simple to extremely complex ones (Brehmer 1990; Diehl & Sterman 1995). This study proposes a framework of dynamic decision making based on the theory of scientific discovery in dual spaces (Klahr & Dunbar 1988). Two experiments using computer simulated management games were conducted to examine the relationship between the search strategies in the dual spaces and final performances in decision making.
