Organizational decision-maker bias supports merger wave formation: demonstration with logical formalization
Get PDFImitation of firms that opt for strategic reorganizations by opting for mergers and acquisitions facilitates market wave formation. Empirical evidence on mergers and acquisitions suggests that, under uncertainty, firms regret more not following their rivals’ merger moves of yet unknown outcome than possibly failing jointly by copying them. Looking for the rationale for this bandwagon behavior, we explore the underlying decision-making framework by using formal logic and search for behavioral premises consistent with the observed outcomes. We point out three biased expectations, modeled by using a belief modal operator, that filter out relevant scenarios from the consideration set of otherwise rationally behaving decision-makers. The theorems derived from the logic model highlight the drive to imitate competitors’ merger choices for all but one of the eight possible outcomes of the decision-making framework. For the latter case, a boundary condition is given that makes imitation the predicted strategy. Our approach goes against the view that human behavior defies logic-based rendering also if such behavior can be adequately described as non-rational in an economic sense. Logic is a flexible representation tool to model even faulty behavior patterns in a transparent way; it can also help exploring the consequences of the cognitive mistakes made. Our findings suggest that threats to wealth creation may not necessarily find their origins in morally questionable organizational behavior, but rather in modalities of decision-making under uncertainty
Writing Strategies for Fostering Reading Comprehension
No full textEducational methods for developing metacognitive strategies received increased attention in the last decades, especially in the field of fostering reading comprehension. We proposed to research the possibility of stimulating the use of reader's metacognitive strategies in reading by specifically designed writing instruction. After selecting four reading strategies which improve comprehension, special writing instructions were elaborated for stimulating the use of these strategies. We have reformulated two expository texts from textbooks used in the 4th and 7th grade of elementary education in concordance to the writing tactics, and tested student's comprehension. According to results, reading comprehension improved significantly for the reformulated texts. An eight-week writing instructional program was applied in 4th grade classes. Comparing the pre- and post-test results with false-treatment and control groups indicated significant increase in using metacognitive strategies in writing. Results indicate that metacognitive strategies in writing for more comprehendible texts can be trained in elementary grade
A politikai szabadságjogok korszakai Magyarországon 1945-től napjainkig
Get PDFA politikai szabadságjogok 1945 utáni magyarországi története még nagyon sok feltárnivalót tartogat a kutatók számára. A második világháborút követően az emberi jogok kodifikációjának új korszaka kezdődött el, és ez kihatással volt mindkét világrendszer jogi, társadalmi és politikai fejlődésére.1 Az alapjogok nemzetközi garanciáinak fokozatos kiépülésével – az idő előrehaladtával – egyre inkább a szocialista országoknak is számolniuk kellett. Jelen habilitációs dolgozat célja bepillantást nyújtani abba, hogy Magyarországon egyes alapjogok helyzete miként alakult a címben jelzett időszakban
