The fundamental differences between decision making as it has been studied using traditional decision theory, and as it occurs in socially-situated naturalistic settings. The resulting naturalistic decision theory has emphasized highly detailed, almost ethnographic, studies of decision processes in specific domains. This had resulted in dense data but primarily prose representations and analyses. 1, record 4, English, - traditional%20decision%20theory

Ainsi, les réflexions, menées au CREA3 sur les paradoxes de la rationalité, montrent que la théorie classique de la décision conduit à des résultats contre intuitifs et à des paradoxes, dès lors que l'on prend en compte les actions collectives, les représentations collectives et la façon dont les agents s'y réfèrent. Dès lors qu'une critique "interne" s'attaque à l'axiomatique du choix rationnel, elle peut être aussi dévastatrice pour l'économie dominante qu'une critique externe. 1, record 4, French, - th%C3%A9orie%20classique%20de%20la%20d%C3%A9cision

The foregoing describes the four main types of evaluation methods used today. In recent years, a number of new evaluation methods have been promoted. Some, like the position analysis questionnaire (PAQ) method are statistically based. Using computers to determine the evaluation of a job on a pre-developed program. Others like the "time span of discretion" and the "decision band theory" are unidimensional. 2, record 9, English, - decision%20band%20theory
