Demand forecasting behavior / Mirko Kremer in Management science, Vol. 57 N° 10 (Octobre 2011) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Management science > Vol. 57 N° 10 (Octobre 2011) . - pp. 1827-1843 Titre : Demand forecasting behavior : System neglect and change detection Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Mirko Kremer, Auteur ; Brent Moritz, Auteur ; Enno Siemsen, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp. 1827-1843 Note générale : Management Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Forecasting  Behavioral  operations  System  neglect  Exponential  smoothing Index. décimale : 658 Organisation des entreprises. Techniques du commerce Résumé : We analyze how individuals make forecasts based on time-series data. Using a controlled laboratory experiment, we find that forecasting behavior systematically deviates from normative predictions: Forecasters overreact to forecast errors in relatively stable environments, but underreact to errors in relatively unstable environments. The performance loss that is due to such systematic judgment biases is larger in stable than in unstable environments.

Why genius leads to adversity / Elena Katok in Management science, Vol. 57 N° 6 (Juin 2011) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Management science > Vol. 57 N° 6 (Juin 2011) . - pp. 1042-1054 Titre : Why genius leads to adversity : Experimental evidence on the reputational effects of task difficulty choices Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Elena Katok, Auteur ; Enno Siemsen, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp. 1042-1054 Note générale : Management Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Incentives  in  R&D  Behavioral  operations  Career  concerns  Decentralization Index. décimale : 658 Organisation des entreprises. Techniques du commerce Résumé : We use a behavioral laboratory experiment to study how agents with reputation concerns select the difficulty of their tasks. Drawing upon existing theory, we subjected participants in our study to a context in which they had to convince a principal of their capability to reap financial benefits. Our results show that participants tended to increase the difficulty of their task to enhance their reputation. In addition, we provide evidence that performance rewards reduce a less capable agent's tendency to choose a more difficult task, whereas a highly capable agent's pattern of choices is unaffected by performance rewards. Although the productivity of agents in our experiment therefore decreased if they had to convince a principal of their capability, we show that these detrimental performance implications can to some degree be overcome for less capable agents through performance rewards or by ensuring that the principal can interpret the agent's choice.
