Bounded Disciplines and Unbounded Problems: A Vision for Management Science: Clarendon Lectures in Management Studies

Autor Baruch Fischhoff
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 feb 2025
People often face complex, novel, fateful, and wildly unbounded problems throughout their lives. In their work, disciplinary scientists hone their wisdom on the complexities of necessarily bounded problems. Bounded Disciplines and Unbounded Problems offers a vision for schools of management science to bring these worlds together, by doing more of what they do best, co-creating solutions in ways that serve the world and the disciplines. Disciplinary wisdom is illustrated with studies eliciting beliefs and preferences. Collaboration is illustrated with a wide variety of applications, including climate, energy, health, security, technology, and natural disasters. The proposed strategy, for bonding bounded disciplines, offers a realistic path forward, at a time when the value of academia is sometimes questioned by the public, students, and even some of its members.

Recenzii

Bounded Disciplines and Unbounded Problems cements BaruchFischhoff's legacy as a public intellectual. For 40 years he has walked the talk by immersing himself in the practical application of decision science to pressing societal concerns. Simultaneously, he has talked the walk through groundbreaking research and communication efforts, culminating in the 2023Clarendon Lectures. In this volume he has written the book on how to confront the wicked problems of our time. It belongs on the shelf of every organizational scholar interested in the nexus of science, policy, and societal well-being.
