Lessons that knowledge
management can learn from the Video on predictable irrationality are that even
though the human eye is a remarkable tool, it still is prone to make mistakes;
therefore if something as remarkable as the eye is complex, man made structures
can be not reliable as well. As a technology driven society, we are relying
more heavily on technology every day, which ultimately can result in a problems
if, we as a society, are not careful. Ariely produced evidence of two of the
same picture, but when asked if they were alike or different, people would
chose that they are different.
Also, Ariely told about
a study on organ donation in different countries and how different countries
varied, simply because of how they worded the question as to whether or not
they would want to be a participant on the organ donation list after death. How
things are worded is very crucial in any field of business. If things are not
worded correctly, mishaps will happen. Wording things is essential in knowledge
management for things such as artificial intelligence.
Dan Ariely taught a told
of a lot of experiments that were conducted that were interesting to learn. His
video was thoroughly enjoying and offered up great humor.
