What’s for Dinner? An Interactive Activity to Highlight Differences Between Rational Decision-making Models and Realistic Decision-making

There is an abundance of abstract concepts within OB that can easily/quickly confuse students. Oftentimes, it is incumbent upon the teacher to devise a real-world example or activity that clearly illuminates a concept or model and helps students understand how it affects one’s behavior outside the classroom. We have created such an activity that is easy to implement yet highly engaging, and enables students to visualize the Rational Choice Paradigm (i.e., rational decision-making model). The purpose of this session is to demonstrate how this activity provides students with a fun opportunity to learn about decision-making. Relevant materials will be provided.
