Abstract

The cognitive biases are a very rugged psychological phenomenon that has been demonstrated through a vast number of experiments. Some of these cognitive errors considerably influence the individual decisional process and, for the purpose of this research, we have taken into consideration four of the biases: framing, anchoring, priming and errors generated by haste in situations where a more deep analysis was required. The present research is meant to be the basis for defining a decisional profile that would be validated in the academic context and then further inserted into the business environment through building a managerial decisional profile marked against the organizational decisional profile.
