We have the largest Decision-making and Analytics group in Europe with the subject a growing area of influence with businesses and policymakers around the world.
Decision-making and Analytics brings together many disciplines such as psychology, economics and biology, to study human behaviour and decision making. Its insights have led to ‘nudges’ being developed for many different contexts from tax collecting to reducing alcohol consumption to help people improve their thinking and decisions.
