ABSTRACT
Throughout history poor decision making has led to undesired outcomes. In the first days of World War I, for example, the military commanders, and the heads of state and government of several countries made decisions that, that in hindsight led to disastrous consequences (Tuchman, 1962; Clark, 2012). In the face of overwhelming evidence that their initial plans needed to be revised in the light of battlefield conditions, they refused to do so, decisions that ultimately led to their countries’ defeat.
