“…Roster changes may require adjustments to new playing styles and reduced playing times. Berri and Eschker (2005) examines NBA postseasons from 1994-2003. That study finds no evidence of player performances being enhanced during the playoffs. The widespread claim of "Prime-Time Players" found to be fictional.…”

MissionATINER is an Athens-based World Association of Academics and Researchers based in Athens. ATINER is an independent and nonprofit Association with a Mission to become a forum where Academics and Researchers from all over the world can meet in Athens, exchange ideas on their research and discuss future developments in their disciplines, as well as engage with professionals from other fields. Athens was chosen because of its long history of academic gatherings, which go back thousands of years to Plato's Academy and Aristotle's Lyceum. Both these historic places are within walking distance from ATINER's downtown offices. Since antiquity, Athens was an open city. In the words of Pericles, Athens"…is open to the world, we never expel a foreigner from learning or seeing". ("Pericles' Funeral Oration", in Thucydides,

“…Given that, it is natural to examine what influences win-loss records during the regular season. Prior studies have analyzed variables that impact post-season outcomes (Berri and Eschker, 2005;Wallace, Caudill and Mixon, 2013;Zimmer and Kuethe, 2009), but comparatively little attention has been devoted to the regular season.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to review and integrate the extensive literature base which examines judgment and decision‐making biases, to introduce this literature to the field of supply management, to create a valid, mutually exclusive, and exhaustive taxonomy of decision biases that can affect supply managers, and to provide guidance for future research and applications of this taxonomy.Design/methodology/approachThe authors use a qualitative cluster analysis, combined with a Q‐sort methodology, to develop a taxonomy of decision biases.FindingsA mutually exclusive, and exhaustive taxonomy of nine decision biases is developed through a qualitative cluster analysis. The Q‐sort methodology provides initial confirmation of the reliability and validity of the cluster analysis results. The findings, along with numerous examples provided in the text, suggest that supply management decisions are vulnerable to the described biases.Originality/valueThis paper provides a comprehensive review of the judgment and decision bias literature, and creates a logical and manageable taxonomy of biases which can impact supply management decision making. The introduction and organization of this vast extant literature base provides a contrasting perspective to much of the existing supply management research, which has incorporated the assumption of the rational agent, or what is known in the economics literature as homo economicus. In addition, the authors describe the use of qualitative cluster analysis and the Q‐sort methodology, techniques which have been used rarely if at all in within the field of supply chain management.
