Bad Decisions Explained: Was This a Good Decision?
October 14, 2020
DarkCyber tracks a number of topics related to cyber crime. Why do some individuals abandon the straight and narrow and practice crime, regular or deluxe? The reasons are explained in “Common Causes of Very Bad Decisions.” Here’s an example of the reasons:
An innocent denial of your own flaws, caused by the ability to justify your mistakes in your own head in a way you can’t do for others.
DarkCyber’s jargon for this characteristic is HSSCMM or the high school science club management method. Could examples be found in the management actions at companies like Amazon, Apple, Facebook, or Google? The article does not illustrate each “cause.” That’s too bad.
Here’s another reason for a really terrible decision:
Too much extrapolation of past successes leads to overconfidence, stubbornness, and a narrow view of future risks.
It would have made the write more than an earthworm list if some examples had been included. But “color” and “case examples” are not part of the document. The reader is left to insert the missing information. In today’s business environment there so few bad decisions, the lack of detail is understandable.
