Our decisions are influenced by both emotional and rational thinking. Emotions play an important role in decision-making by quickly alerting us to important situations and driving moral behavior. However, rational thinking is also necessary for making good decisions, especially when faced with unfamiliar situations or complex problems with many variables. The interplay between these two systems in the brain helps us navigate decision-making, though an overreliance on either emotion or reason can lead to poor choices. Metacognition, or thinking about our own thinking, is another important tool that allows for learning from mistakes and exerting self-control over impulses.

Group decision Making
Group decision making is preferable to individual decision making for several reasons. Individual decision making is limited by bounded rationality including limited resources, incomplete information, and limited cognitive abilities. There are several techniques for effective group decision making including the Delphi technique, stepladder technique, electronic brainstorming, structured conflict, and nominal group technique. Large organizations like Infosys use annual strategic planning meetings called STRAP meets for groups of tier leaders to strategize the upcoming business plan and select ideas for campaigns like the "My Idea, My Infy" initiative to select fresh talent hiring platforms.
Decision making
The document discusses various aspects of decision making. It defines decision making as choosing one alternative from among options. It describes the decision making process as recognizing the need for a decision, identifying alternatives, choosing the best option, and implementing it. Decision making can occur under certainty, risk, or uncertainty. Rational models of decision making propose a logical, step-by-step process while behavioral models recognize limitations and biases that influence decisions. Political forces, intuition, escalation of commitment, risk tolerance, and ethics also shape organizational decision making.
Self Awareness Part 1
The document discusses four divisions of the mind:
1) Body vs mind, with the gut and autonomic nervous system having independent functions.
2) Left vs right hemispheres, with different functions like language vs patterns.
3) Old vs new parts of the brain from early mammals to modern humans with additions like the neocortex.
4) Controlled vs automatic processing, with automatic functions like walking and controlled functions like decision making.
The Blink
The document discusses Malcolm Gladwell's book "Blink" which examines how quick, unconscious decisions called "thin-slicing" can be as accurate as slower, deliberate decisions. It describes several studies including art experts correctly identifying fakes within seconds, a tennis coach predicting double faults, and gamblers unconsciously favoring better decks of cards before consciously realizing. While quick decisions can be accurate, biases from implicit associations can also influence them. The document argues we can improve quick decisions through experience, understanding our biases, and using priming to temporarily change associations.

Modules 4 & 5 & 6
The document discusses several neurological disorders:
1. Parkinson's disease, which results from depletion of dopamine in the basal ganglia, impairing movement coordination. Symptoms progress from mild unilateral dysfunction to severe disability.
2. Multiple sclerosis, a demyelinating disease affecting the brain and spinal cord that causes inflammation and plaques on the myelin sheath, slowing nerve transmission. Symptoms include vision issues, weakness, and sensory changes.
3. Guillain-Barré syndrome, an autoimmune disorder causing acute peripheral nerve myelin attack. It can cause paralysis and autonomic dysfunction.
4. Serving Two Masters
The document discusses two feedback systems in the brain - the hedonic feedback system related to pain and pleasure, and the attentional feedback system related to boredom and excitement. It proposes that these systems interact, with the hedonic system generating preferences and values unconsciously in the background. Experiments show emotions and unconscious processing play a role in decision making, and that intense feelings can become boring over time as the attentional system loses its memory trace of them.

How we decide
Our decisions are influenced by both emotional and rational thinking. Emotions play an important role in decision-making by quickly alerting us to important situations and driving moral behavior. However, rational thinking is also necessary for making good decisions, especially when faced with unfamiliar situations or complex problems with many variables. The interplay between these two systems in the brain helps us navigate decision-making, though relying too heavily on either can lead to errors. Metacognition, or thinking about our own thinking, also influences the decisions we make.

Petroleum exploration by s. k. de gtc -dec 2011
Petroleum exploration involves mapping subsurface rock formations to locate potential sources of oil and natural gas. Geologists and geophysicists use techniques like seismic surveys and subsurface mapping of sedimentary basins to identify areas for test drilling. Oil and gas are typically found trapped within sedimentary source rocks under cap rocks at sufficient depths of burial and temperatures/pressures. In India, major discoveries have been made in areas like Assam, Gujarat, and offshore the east coast. While ONGC and Oil India initially led exploration, the government now licenses both domestic and international companies to explore new areas.
Transforming india
The document discusses the need to transform India by addressing key issues like education, energy, urbanization, transportation and rural development. It argues that India has remained poor due to poor leadership, policy choices and a parasitic government system. However, the rising middle class now has the power to drive change through their votes and demand for better governance and economic freedom. Transforming these areas is essential for India to develop and lift its people out of poverty.

What's a worker’s market? Job quality and labour market tightness
What's a worker’s market? Job quality and labour market tightnessLabour Market Information Council | Conseil de l’information sur le marché du travail
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.快速制作美国迈阿密大学牛津分校毕业证文凭证书英文原版一模一样

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptx
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.

Does teamwork really matter? Looking beyond the job posting to understand lab...Labour Market Information Council | Conseil de l’information sur le marché du travail
Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.The Rise of Generative AI in Finance: Reshaping the Industry with Synthetic Data

How we decide
- 2. Who knows what I want to do? Who knows what anyone wants to do? How can you be sure about something like that? Isn't it all a question of brain chemistry, signals going back and forth, electrical energy in the cortex? How do you know whether something is really what you want to do or just some kind of nerve impulse in the brain? Some minor little activity takes place somewhere in this unimportant place in one of the brain hemispheres and suddenly I want to go to Montana or I don't want to go to Montana. — DON D E L I L L O , White Noise
