Description
Increasingly, people's lives are being defined by large-scale organizational decision processes involving governments, businesses and other institutions. This book examines the nature of decision making by organizations confronted with various risks, focusing on choices in which technology and scientific advances play major roles, and looks at the regulatory agencies that set and enforce standards of health and safety. Included are such organizations as manufacturing and communications firms, neonatal intensive care units of hospitals and a major US governmental operating agency (NASA).
