- Summary:
- This paper presents two mini-cases, "The Accused Driver" and "The Billing Problem", to expose students to mathematical misdirection situations which can occur in operations management contexts but have yet to receive sufficient attention in undergraduate and graduate education. These two cases help students to identify mathematical misdirection and recognize the potential cognitive biases underlying the technique. By demonstrating decision-making tools that can help avoid or mitigate these cognitive biases, we aim to equip students with the critical thinking and analytical reasoning skills needed to make informed decisions and become effective leaders in the field of operations management.
