The conflicting interests of owners and management coincide with the objective of balanced growth of the firm as it ensures fair return on owner’s capital and faith in managers who achieve this goal.

Decisions are influenced by different factors as a price‚ income‚ preferences and utility of goods. Then it comes to a decision : What is most useful or utility for a consumer? Here are two different approaches to the behavior of the consumer. First one is a cardinalist approach to consumer behavior. According to a cardinalist version of theory of utility‚ consumer is able to measure utility as well as compare a size of utility of different goods. If we were to acquire more and more units of a good‚ we

Decision makers do not always choose decisions based on the expected value criterion. 1. A lottery ticket has a negative net expected return. 2.

For that reason a certain gain of $10 is not perceived as bringing any significant utility to let’s say average middle-class individual‚ while the possibility‚ even though small‚ of winning $10 000 would actually bring a quite significant change to his wealth. The opposite goes for the perceived utilities and the utility function‚ when in the loss region. Even a small probability of losing a significant amount ($10 000)‚ which will severely affect the

WHAT ARE THE MAJOR CONFLİCTS BETWEEN VİRTUES AND UTİLİTARİANİSM ? Utilitarianism is the idea that the moral worth of an action is determined solely by its usefulness in maximizing utility. On the other hand‚ utility can be defined as pleasure‚ preference satisfaction‚ knowledge. Virtue is a pattern of thought an behavior based on high moral standards. Virtues can be placed into a broader context of values.Each individual has

WARNER NORTH Abstract-Decision theory provides a rational framework for choosing between alternative courses of action when the consequences resulting from this choice are imperfectly known. Two streams of thought serve as the foundations: utility theory and the inductive use of probability theory. The intent of this paper is to provide a tutorial introduction to this increasingly important area of systems science. The foundations are developed on an axiomatic basis‚ and a simple example
