Information Design and Presentation Cre SO
4 Strategies and Performance
By: Benjamin Batinge

The System Dynamics Group, University of Bergen

RESULTS

METHODOLOGY

@ A model (with modifications) on the Boom
and Bust, and failure to learn in
experimental markets experiment by Paich
and Sterman (1994) was developed for the
experiment.

@ A two-treatment approach where the same
information but different design interfaces
for treatment 1 and treatment 2 was
provided to subjects in treatments 1 and 2
respectively in order to determine whether
there will be significantly different

performance levels in the two treatments.

INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND

presentation in a

Millions
i
a

@ Information design and
Management flight simulator Is relevant to

people interacting with it to grasp the
complexities in the underlying model.

@ The purpose of this study therefore is to
determine whether or not information
design and display affects decision-making
process, strategies, and ultimately result in
better outcome.

@ This study examines the effects of
information design and presentation on
people’s decision-making strategies and
performance in a complex non-repetitive
decision-making environment.

@ study uses a boom and bust model for the
experiment as it exemplifies a dynamic

decision making scenario.

HYPOTHESIS

HO: “Distinction in information design and
presentation/display does not have an effect on
decision-making strategies and performance”
H1: “Distinction in information design and
presentation/display affects decision-making
strategies and performance” is supported by
the

results.

H2: An improvement in information design and
presentation/display helps decision-makers to

understand the system complexi
plexity and
better. ; a

period

CONCLUSIONS

@The study concludes that, the way information
is designed has an effect on the decision
strategies and performance.

@in order to reduce the decision-making
challenges in complex dynamic environment,
and adopt near-optimal strategies for
maximum performance, the information
organization, design, and display/presentation
is very essential for logical decision strategies
and increased performance.

@The null hypothesis (HO) is rejected and whiles

H1 & H2 are supported by the findings.

Day 1 (Linear and Exponential Change over Time)

* Pre-assessment administered

* Friendship Game*: Students walk into a large stock/flow diagram « ering a
to rules for entering the stock. Students built STELLA model.

* Mammoth (population) Game: Students played the game and built mod

Day 2 (Feedback and Causal Loop Diagramming; STELLA Interface
Layer)

* Introduction of the design of a graphical function and a demonstration of the use of a
graphical function to incorporate the idea of carrying capacity into the Mammoth
population model.

Connection Game*: Connection Circles were used to identify feedback loops from The
Lorax by Dr. Seuss.

Students built a model to depict the population dynamics on Easter Island.

Day 3 (FishBanks:The Tragedy of the Commons):

* FishBanks was played and students discussed regulating the fishing industry.
Students designed a paper/pencil model for the game and created policy
recommendations to prevent the crash of the fishery.

Students prese i : I I
ts presented their recommendations using the actual FishBanks stock/flow
model to back up their recommendations.
