Well, some might argue that the techniques provided in this book are basics and nothing phenomenal. But I disagree with them, since in most of the decision making process the techniques provided here are the fundamental things that we must do but we don't. And that leads everything haywire. For example, Keeney offered a decision around a new position. Your thought process may begin with whether to accept a new job – a yes or no. A useful decision statement would be “decide what type of job would be better for my career” or “decide what job would provide the most enjoyment and offer opportunities to expand my skills.” Diversity, equity and inclusion are some of the values the Duke Career Center’s Turrentine holds close when planning networking events for students.Understand the consequences.… Assessing frankly the consequences of each alternative will help you to identify those that best meet your objectives—all your objectives. … Express Markets offerings have allowed us to create a niche, making it possible for us to place business for our clients others won’t or can’t.

With thousands of employers and almost no parameters, Turrentine takes her time figuring out what companies to invite for events. She notes necessities – equitable hiring practices, undergraduate degree requirements and right fits for Duke majors – and talks over her thought process with colleagues before final decisions. Most of the advice here is basically various forms of: think carefully about the objectives, alternative choices and consequences. The main aids in the book besides common sense and whatever data one can find e.g on the web or from experts are the recommendation to do a consequences table (matrix of alternatives and consequences for key objectives of each alternative), and maybe attempting an expected utility/value calculation for important decisions. The authors explicitly reject as a bias any tendency to assign higher probabilities to negative events as a precaution, but the more recent decision theory literature suggests this could be a good practice to account for rational ambiguity or robustness. The most recent theories of rational choice suggest robust multiple priors models as maybe more rational than expected utility using a single probability distribution or Bayesian model combination.
