Experiments in decision-making under risk and uncertainty: thinking outside the box

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to analyze laboratory methods-based research on managerial decision-making under risk and uncertainty. Some of the issues addressed by the research correlated in insuring against risky outcomes, levels of risk and complexity of risk. Concerns associated with markets for inputs were also analyzed. In addition, the interactive role supported by theory development on understanding risk and uncertainty was examined.
