Abstract

Is the human being an irrational or a rational being? This question is no longer asked only by behavioral scientists, but also by business economists in general and controllers in particular. One’s own, mostly unquestioned image of man has a decisive influence on the view of digitalization, its possibilities and limits. Kahneman points out common decision errors and offers solutions to uncover them. Taleb, on the other hand, believes it is crucial to create structures in which people take responsibility for their actions; everything else will then take care of itself. For all decisions in the context of digitalization, it is important for controlling to question its own view of people in order to prevent digitalization from being perceived as the solution to all problems, including problems that would not exist at all without digitalization.
