| Tiivistelmä: | The purpose of this research is to test whether control procedures can reduce escalation of commitment, that is, the tendency of decision makers to persist with a project in spite of negative feedback that the initial investment has not realized its goals. Three control procedures which may mitigate escalation tendencies were examined: (1) providing unambiguous feedback regarding previous expenditures, (2) preparing a progress report on the project, and (3) providing information about future benefits of additional expenditures. |
