Risk Management and Decision Making — Theories-in-use
Information on Theories-in-use
Theories-in-use are theories of action that can be inferred from the way individuals act. What people do is consistent with the theory in use they hold, albeit inconsistent with their espoused theories, on the basis that what people do is not accidental. Rather, individuals design their actions and are responsible for the design Argyris (1992: 216-217).
