Title: Overwhelming
Review: The authors do a masterful job of outlining the problem of bad decisions, and how to start approaching the problem. Their first chapter which references meta-decisioning is wonderful. After that, though, the book is much more useful as a reference manual than as a practical guide. There is simply too much information contained in the book, and someone who hopes to use this to improve their business is likely to walk away glassy-eyed, rather than improved. On the other hand, it is a fabulous reference, and for instance contains a couple pages on Irving Janis's Groupthink which are significantly clearer and simpler than the groupthink book itself. A good buy, but most likely only if you're serious about decision science from a somewhat theoretical point of view.
