Managerial psychology and decision science

Researchers in the area of Managerial psychology and decision science have investigated areas as varied as the application of military strategies for business success, reducing the incidence of mimicked acts of terrorism, strategies for developing greater levels of innovation in organisations, entrepreneurial decision-making, and the management of thought contagion. Most recently research has ventured into the area of organisational survival strategies and stress-response behaviours. This research has identified a number of interesting parallels between organisational stress-response behaviours and the biological phenomenon of hormesis (the deliberate application of toxins for the purpose of invoking beneficial cellular stress-response behaviours).
