| Abstract | The role of decision tools in managerial decisions can be crucial. Yet, there is very little research seeking to understand and measure the influence of planning models on decision-makers’ actual behavior or performance.We focus on investigating, in an experimental context, the influence of a decision model (time allocation model) on student subjects’ changes of mind and behavior. Of special interest is the effect of the articulated importance of criteria on subjects’ choices. Furthermore, we have also studied how the above mentioned model influences subjects’ actual (measurable) performance. The results are partly conflicting, though interesting: (1) the (biased) decision model did have a significant influence on the subjects’ choices, (2) when the model provided additional freedom to improve criterion values, the subjects’ choices were rather inconsistent with the articulated importance of criteria, (3) the interpretation is not clear, how plans influence actual behavior, and (4) the subjects did not fully recognize the bias of the model (when present). However, our findings very clearly demonstrate that model developers have a great responsibility. Biased models may guide managers to make dramatically erroneous decisions in bona fide. We hope that our findings generate additional research into this important, but under-researched topic.Die Auswahl von Entscheidungsansätzen für Managemententscheidungen kann sich durchaus problematisch gestalten. Dennoch gibt es bisher nur wenig Forschungsarbeiten, die sich damit beschäftigen, den Einfluss von Planungsmodellen auf das jeweilige Verhalten und den Leistungsbeitrag eines Entscheidungsträgers zu verstehen und zu messen.Dieser Beitrag untersucht im Rahmen einer empirischen Studie, wie sich ein Entscheidungsmodell (hier ein Zeitallokationsmodell) auf Veränderungen der Einstellung des Verhaltens von Studierenden bei der Wahl ihrer Fächer auswirkt. Insbesondere interessiert dabei, inwieweit die von den Studierenden explizit ausgedrückte Bedeutung von Zielen einen Effekt auf die Fächerwahl hat. Zudem wird untersucht, wie das Zeitallokationsmodell die tatsächlich messbare Leistung in den verschiedenen Fächern beeinflusst. Wenn die Ergebnisse auch zum Teil widersprüchlich sind, so führen sie doch zu durchaus interessanten Einsichten: (1) Das mit Verzerrungen behaftete Entscheidungsmodell hat keine signifikante Auswirkung auf die Fächerwahl, (2) gestattete man innerhalb des Modells zusätzlich die Möglichkeit, die Zielwerte zu verbessern, so war die Fächerwahl im Vergleich zu der artikulierten Bedeutung der Ziele ziemlich inkonsistent, (3) bleibt es schwierig zu erklären, welche Planungen das tatsächliche Entscheidungsverhalten beeinflussen, und (4) erkannten die Versuchspersonen nicht in vollem Umfang, welche Vorbehalte sich gegenüber dem eingesetzten Modell ergeben, als die Resultate der Studie präsentiert wurden. Allerdings zeigen die Untersuchungen sehr deutlich, dass Entwickler von Entscheidungsmodellen eine große Verantwortung haben. Unklare Entscheidungsmodelle können den Manager veranlassen, falsche Entscheidungen in gutem Vertrauen zu treffen. Wir hoffen, dass unsere Ergebnisse zusätzliche Forschungsarbeiten auf diesem sehr wichtigen, bisher aber eher stiefmütterlich behandelten Entscheidungsfeld anstoßen. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
