The book is a joint effort of the top researchers from different disciplines to identify sources of imperfection and ways how to decrease discrepancies between the prescriptive theory and real-life DM. The contributions consider:
ยท how a crowd of imperfect decision makers outperforms experts' decisions;
ยท how to decrease decision makers' imperfection by reducing knowledge available;
ยท how to decrease imperfection via automated elicitation of DM preferences;
ยท a human's limited willingness to master the available decision-support tools as an additional source of imperfection;
ยท how the decision maker's emotional state influences the rationality; a DM support of edutainment robot based on its system of values and respecting emotions.
The book will appeal to anyone interested in the challenging topic of DM theory and its applications.
