Escalation in Decision-Making: The Tragedy of Taurus
Автор:Helga Drummond Год: [не указано] Издание: [не указанo] Страниц: [не указано] ISBN: 0198289537 This book describes the Taurus project--a costly project to automate settlement systems on the London Stock Exchange. Begun in 1986, it was eventually abandoned in 1993. How was it that a major project promoted by the Stock Exchange, supervised by committees, advised upon by two major consultancies, staffed by an experienced technical team could go wrong? Why was the decision to abandon the project not taken earlier? Written in the context of theories of decision making, the author both tells an absorbing story and adds to our understanding of decision escalation.
