Ans) EDM is a complex process, likely involving a number of cognitive processes, in response to a dynamic, complex, ambiguous problem.
- The high quality forecasting is an important process in making an effective, ethical decision. Because people are prone to a number of assumptions and errors in forecasting, training people in cognitive strategies is likely to improve forecasting quality and EDM.
- Findings further suggest that when individuals identify the critical consequences of potential problem solutions, they generate higher quality forecasts and make more effective, ethical decisions.
- Interestingly, neither performance pressure nor interpersonal conflict impacted forecasting or EDM.
- The importance of examining the cognitive processes involved in EDM, but it also may serve as a starting point for using one potentially useful research methodology in studying the complex cognitive processes involved in EDM.
