There are many ways to make decisions, and it’s interesting to recognize how we do it. These 2 ways are interesting to have present in the way you build your habits about decision making in front of uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Normative theory<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It outlines how decisions should be made to achieve optimal outcomes, assuming rational behavior and access to complete information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It focuses on ideal models, like utility theory, where choices maximize expected value or benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example:<\/strong><\/span> a financial investor choosing between stocks. S\/he calculates the expected returns and risks for each option and select the one with the highest expected return, assuming rational behavior and perfect information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stopping Strategy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It refers to the rule or criteria used to decide when to stop gathering information or evaluating options and make a decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can involve thresholds, such as selecting the first option that meets a specific standard or stopping after a set number of evaluations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example:<\/span><\/strong> A hiring manager interviews candidates and decides to hire the first one who meets all the job requirements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
