In our free “Food-4-Thought” events, we regularly discuss key insights and latest findings from the world of behavioral science and the science of decision making. In this Food-4-Thought, we discuss Daniel Kahneman’s recent book “Noise”, shedding light on the significance of noise for companies and entrepreneurial decision-making and discuss when noise should be reduced, but also (in contrast to Kahneman) when noise can be useful and should even be amplified.
