The intrusion of biases is a very important issue in decision making because it introduces the conflic of interests between parties or stakeholders, when projects are to be undertaken. Both public and private policies have been influenced by biased positions in the past, and the concept of conflict of interests is set when biased positions intend to domain when final decisions are made. When public policy is to be decided, biased positions are taken from partisans influenced by particular interests, which is not the indend of public policy, but to benefit the people, the citizens of a nation, or a city, or a state. In public policy, identifying these biases is very important, specially for the ones who take the role of judges, who are responsible for driving ecnomic resources to be invested in projects that benefit the terrirotial entity, instead of particular interests. For instante, for a state, building a road apparently benefted its people, but if public resources are investo build a road that it is clear to benefit only a mining company because the road is close to one of its mines, but away from farmers and the rest of citizens of the state, it is clear that particular interests are domaining over the public intend of the invested resources. So as to avoid conflicts of interests, it is very important to know parties betting on a public project, how they try to drive it, because each party would try to benefitiate its own interests, and the best strategy to make public resources to be invested for the good intend of everybody, these parts have to be interacting when the project is being debated, and all of them must speak up their minds, with no restriction, let them be companies and people, espeacially the interaction of competing companies is desicive in making a project the less biased possible. The particular interests of all of the parties debating on a public project, and its clearifying before the other parties, is the best judge that could ever work by itself when public projects are to be decided. For instance, politicians indend to benefitiate people who vote for them, but people who does not vote should be benefitiated too, therefore, other competing politians would get this intentions naked before the public, and therefore, oposing forces to this intend would appear so as to balance the general benefits of public projects, making a debate less and less biased. But inside private companies we use to find biases too. For instance, when the marketing and sales department wants more resources, even overpassing the interests of the manufacturing marketing, a biase is obvserved clearly. This kind of biase really is against the firm itself, for the manufacturing department needs enough resources to guarantee good quality products, and therefore, the market and sales department can be able to expand the company\'s market, which would be hard to do with low quality products caused by low resources.

1. The intrusion of biases is a very important issue in decision making because it introduces the
conflic of interests between parties or stakeholders, when projects are to be undertaken. Both
public and private policies have been influenced by biased positions in the past, and the concept
of conflict of interests is set when biased positions intend to domain when final decisions are

When public policy is to be decided, biased positions are taken from partisans influenced by

Solution
The intrusion of biases is a very important issue in decision making because it introduces the
conflic of interests between parties or stakeholders, when projects are to be undertaken. Both
public and private policies have been influenced by biased positions in the past, and the concept
of conflict of interests is set when biased positions intend to domain when final decisions are
made.
When public policy is to be decided, biased positions are taken from partisans influenced by
particular interests, which is not the indend of public policy, but to benefit the people, the
citizens of a nation, or a city, or a state. In public policy, identifying these biases is very
important, specially for the ones who take the role of judges, who are responsible for driving
ecnomic resources to be invested in projects that benefit the terrirotial entity, instead of particular
interests.
For instante, for a state, building a road apparently benefted its people, but if public resources are
investo build a road that it is clear to benefit only a mining company because the road is close to
one of its mines, but away from farmers and the rest of citizens of the state, it is clear that
particular interests are domaining over the public intend of the invested resources.
So as to avoid conflicts of interests, it is very important to know parties betting on a public
project, how they try to drive it, because each party would try to benefitiate its own interests, and
the best strategy to make public resources to be invested for the good intend of everybody, these
parts have to be interacting when the project is being debated, and all of them must speak up
their minds, with no restriction, let them be companies and people, espeacially the interaction of
competing companies is desicive in making a project the less biased possible. The particular
interests of all of the parties debating on a public project, and its clearifying before the other
parties, is the best judge that could ever work by itself when public projects are to be decided.
For instance, politicians indend to benefitiate people who vote for them, but people who does not
vote should be benefitiated too, therefore, other competing politians would get this intentions
naked before the public, and therefore, oposing forces to this intend would appear so as to
balance the general benefits of public projects, making a debate less and less biased.
But inside private companies we use to find biases too. For instance, when the marketing and
sales department wants more resources, even overpassing the interests of the manufacturing
marketing, a biase is obvserved clearly. This kind of biase really is against the firm itself, for the
manufacturing department needs enough resources to guarantee good quality products, and

3. therefore, the market and sales department can be able to expand the company's market, which
would be hard to do with low quality products caused by low resources.
