Drunker than intended: Misperceptions and information treatments
Capability traps and self-confirming attribution errors in the dynamics of process improvement
Modeling managerial behavior: Misperceptions of feedback in a dynamic decision making experiment
Bathtub dynamics: initial results of a systems thinking inventory
