Description: In Judgment and Decision-Making Research in Accounting and Auditing, Robert and Alison Ashton draw from economic and psychological theories to present more than 20 years of research in decision-making science. The book analyzes the judgments that business managers, investors, auditors and creditors make daily, considers the assets and liabilities of applied decision making, and discusses how to capitalize on strengths and compensate for weaknesses. Suggestions for future research are also explored. Accounting academics, researchers, practitioners, and students who seek a survey of the field and its applications will find this a solid reference book.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [251]-286) and index.
