Call for papers – What makes a good decision?
LOPB sekretariāts @ 4. jūnijs, 2020How decisions are made on an organizational and personal level?
What affects them?
October 9, 2020
Riga, Latvia,
The theme of the conference intends to present the latest research and general understanding of decision making. Since nowadays individuals and organizations are surrounded with information, very contradicting arguments, and even fake news, it is crucial to evaluate what should be taken into account, and what should be skipped or even reported as fake news.
What would be the best way to make decisions? Is there one?
Firstly each person is making decisions on a personal level taking into account personality traits, cognitive abilities, and life circumstances around him or her. Secondly in each organization’s departments, teams are making group decisions, that are affected by the earlier mentioned factors, as well as group dynamics, organization goals, management decisions, global fluctuations, etc. We feel that by reevaluating and understanding the best decision-making practice, there is a space for each individual as well as an organization to improve existing processes, therefore improving effectiveness on several levels.
The conference will cover actual topics in this area to bring an understanding of key principles to help organizations create an environment that shapes healthy decision making culture, satisfied and productive employees. The conference also intends to give practical tips on how to improve the decision-making process.
