Attending this program will help participants understand how various models from social psychology combine together to produce bad judgments in running a business, managing an investment portfolio, and also in life in general. Contrary to traditional finance courses based on the “rational man model” in economics, the instructor will use the “foolish man model” from social psychology and numerous examples from the history of human follies to help students overcome their own behavioral biases.

Additionally, this program will use case studies on a variety of business models which use key lessons from social psychology to obtain a competitive advantage and also create long-term value for stockholders.
