Blog Assignment #2 (Due: Feb 3, 11:59 pm): Write and post a blog to discuss the implications of the video Systematic Irrationality for knowledge management.

Accoring to Wikipedia, Irrationality is cognition, thinking, talking or acting without inclusion of rationality. It is more specifically described as an action or opinion given through inadequate reasoning, emotional distress, or cognitive deficiency. When I first watched this video by Dan Ariely, it had me thinking about what he was accomplishing. Dan had a bunch of college students from elite colleges all in one room. Dan was able to show that people make predictable decisions, which in most of the time was incorrect. It goes that show that a lot of companies use irrational decisions for knowledge management. We can learn from Dan that companies need to make the right decision not because it seems right. I seen from first hand experience some companies that I use to work for use irrational decisions. I didn't say anything to the manager, because I felt it wasn't any of my business.
