| Description: |
Case studies drawn from different types of institutions illustrate how information is used for various purposes and with different outcomes depending upon the decisionmaking setting in which it is used. An alternative to traditional models of decision-making is proposed—”multiple advocacy”—in which superior decisions result from adopting a conflicting or dialectical decision-making process. |
