Bounded Disciplines and Unbounded Problems by Baruch Fischhoff

Bounded Disciplines and Unbounded Problems by Baruch Fischhoff

People often face complex, novel, fateful, and wildly unbounded problems throughout their lives. In their work, disciplinary scientists hone their wisdom on the complexities of necessarily bounded problems. Bounded Disciplines and Unbounded Problems offers a vision for schools of management science to bring these worlds together, by doing more of what they do best, co-creating solutions in ways that serve the world and the disciplines. Disciplinary wisdom is illustrated with studies eliciting beliefs and preferences. Collaboration is illustrated with a wide variety of applications, including climate, energy, health, security, technology, and natural disasters. The proposed strategy, for bonding bounded disciplines, offers a realistic path forward, at a time when the value of academia is sometimes questioned by the public, students, and even some of its members.

Baruch Fischhoff is Howard Heinz University Professor at Carnegie Mellon University, where he has been since 1987. He has also held positions at Decision Research (Eugene, Oregon) and the Medical Research Council Applied Psychology Unit (Cambridge). He is an elected member of the (US) National Academy of Sciences and National Academy of Medicine, and he has been an advisor to many governmental and non-governmental organizations.
