An approach to military operations from the perspective of prospect theory. Proceedings Article Silva, Prof Dr Luiz Maurício Resumo | Links | BibTeX | Tags: Command and control Prospect theory defense and risk analysis @inproceedings{Prof2010Commandb, The main objective of the present article is to analyze elements of prospect theory, investigating its pertinence to the discussion of issues of safety and defense in Latin America. The study, exploratory, presents the result of a research accomplished with 105 cadets of the Brazilian Air Force Academy, trying to verify if the central elements of the prospective theory presents validity in a sample of future military officials, future decision makers in situation of defence at this region. We believe that this discussion may be relevant, and would set some new lights, within the issues of effects based operations – EBO. As stated by EBO´s authors, one of its main issues, to be deeply discussed, is the cognitive aspects of the risk and decision processes, as presented here. We do not discuss EBO at all, but the cognitive aspects of the risk and the decision making. Key words: Command and control; Prospect theory; defense and risk analysis. |
