| Tiivistelmä: | In decision making, managers need to tread a fine line between ill conceived, arbitrary decisions (extinction by instinct) and an unhealthy obsession with numbers, analyses, and reports (paralysis by analysis). The author examines the over- and underuse of formal analysis and describes its underlying motives. She identifies 3 types of situations that lead to excessive analysis and 3 that lead to insufficient analysis. She concludes that, simply exhorting managers to be more or less analytical is unlikely to solve the problem. Attention to deeper structural and cultural issues is needed. |
