To acquire a better understanding of the rationalities and the
consequences of managerial decisions, but also observe how the
context of decisions influences them. Build a typology of the different
forms of rationality at stake in enterprises based on case studies.
1. Basic elements of decision making: the different notions of
risk
2. Decisions in a context of strong rationality: a critical
perspective
3. From optimizing forms of rationality to exploratory types : the
“garbage can” and the “real option” perspectives
