Assignment Nine:Watch Dan Ariely's video on predictable irrationality. Discuss what lessons knowledge management can learn from it.


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.
