Affective Decision Making: A Behavioral Theory Of Choice
Affective Decision-Making (ADM) is a refutable and predictive theory of individual choice under risk and uncertainty. It generalizes expected utility theory by positing the existence of two cognitive processes - the "rational" and the "emotional" process. Observed choice is the result of their simultaneous interaction. This paper presents a model of affective choice in insurance markets, where risk perceptions are endogenous.
Conflict Resolution & the Project Manager
Project managers deal with conflict. If you are a project manager, and you have not yet experienced conflict in your project, don't be overly concerned - you will soon enough. At some point in your career, you will be called upon to resolve some type of conflict. At times this will be fairly easy, but on many occasions the resolution of the conflict will be challenging. Some conflicts stem from forces and events that are internal to the project, while others derive from external events and forces. Whenever there are two or more of just about anything and people are involved, there is the potential for conflict. It's a natural consequence of being human and occurs in relationships of every kind. A good project manager always attempts to understand and analyze the nature of any problem he or she is dealing with. This white paper will teach you the different types of conflict, where it stems from, and techniques for dealing with it.

SOA Centers of Excellence: Preserving Order Amid Change
When first entertaining the notion of a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), most information technology (IT) professionals and business leaders rightly imagine the many benefits that their organizations will see in improved customer interaction, greater business agility, efficient asset reuse, and flexible growth options. Indeed, SOA is one of the bright lights of contemporary business strategy and, some would suggest, the inevitable technological outcome of our global, Web-centric world. Some have gone so far as to call SOA a revolution, not just in technology but in how one thinks about business infrastructure.
