Abstract

Decisions based on randomness are often taken to be “irrational” or “arbitrary”. The conventional strategy is to fight randomness; a more recent one is to accept and even celebrate randomness. We focus on a third approach that employs randomness as a managerial and social decision-making mechanism in a purposeful way. We argue that Controlled Random Decisions provide considerable advantages. They allow outsiders as well as novel ideas to have an influence, and they work against corruption. When persons and projects are selected, there must be a careful pre-selection. Controlled Random Decisions should be discussed and employed more extensively.

处理随机性

基于随机性的决策通常被认为是“非理性的”或“武断的”。传统的策略是对抗随机性;最近的一个是接受甚至庆祝随机性。我们专注于第三种方法，即以有目的的方式将随机性作为管理和社会决策机制。我们认为受控随机决策提供了相当大的优势。他们允许外来者和新奇的想法产生影响，他们反对腐败。在选定人员和项目时，必须进行仔细的预选。应该更广泛地讨论和应用受控随机决策。
