Why Decisions Fail: Avoiding the Blunders and Traps That Lead to Debacles

by Paul C. Nutt

Why Decisions Fail: Avoiding the Blunders and Traps That Lead to Debacles Cover

Publisher Comments:

Nutt critiques 15 infamously bad decisions that became public debacles and offers business lessons based on decades of real-world research.

Book News Annotation:

Decisions fail about half the time, concludes Nutt (management sciences and public policy and management, Ohio State U.) from his two decades of studying them. Having analyzed over 400 decisions by top executives in private, public, and nonprofit organizations across the US, Canada, and Europe, he points out common blunders that lead to doom.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Synopsis:

This text tells the stories behind the stories of such famous debacles as the Firestone tyre recall, the Millennium Dome, EuroDisney, The Denver International Airport, Shell's disposal of the Brent Spar and Barings Bank.
