MGT 3305 Lecture Notes - Lecture 70: Intentionality, Expectancy Theory, Decision-Making
Document Summary
Immediate context, physical state, etc. influence decision making. Cognitive misers - we make so many decisions, we need to conserve energy so we take shortcuts. Two kinds of thinking: thinking fast and slow . How your outward actions match up with yourself. Know who you are and who you want to be (takes courage and intentionality) Major thing that makes deals fall through: working with people, after authenticity comes into question. Once you"re aware of a bunch of options, you can choose between them. As a college student: grades, ask a professor, notice reactions of people, resume reviewing, interviews. Stress: heightened readiness for action in response to threats or challenges. Unhealthy when it"s chronic (always feeling pressured, persistent worry) Life is 10% what happens to you, 90% how you handle it. Convergent: funnel, from premises to conclusions, narrow down to the right answer. Divergent: generating alternatives, broaden the range of options.
