Case 11 in Fig. 3 was a super-aggressive customer in demanding additional add-on concessions that the industrial marketer labelled, “an asshole” (cf. van Maanen 1978). Adding the condition, “not an asshole” (i.e., ~H, where the sideways tilde indicates taking the negation and “H” stands for “asshole”) into the configural statement results in a shift to the far left of the XY plot for case 11 in Fig. 11 and is a useful explanation as to why case 11 did not have a high outcome associated with the three-term configural statement, K•S•A.

T3: Decision-makers do not trade off high accuracy for low effort but create and use algorithms that are fast, frugal, and accurate/useful in achieving their objectives.

The suggestion Powell et al. (2011) imply that individuals fail to do as well as they can do in deciding and the proposition that DMs tradeoff high accuracy to achieve low effort (Payne et al. 1988) are inaccurate (see Gigerenzer and Brighton 2009, for evidence and a thorough discussion of these points). Professional B2B marketers and buyers are able to create and use relatively simple heuristics to achieve high accuracy and enable these DMs to achieve their objectives more than is possible by using all the available information and statistical multivariate procedures. While individuals are limited in their conscious cognitive capacity, the available evidence does not support a conclusion of lower competence by decision makers from not using all the information available as symmetric tests as the following perspective implies:Research in behavioral decision theory (BDT) shows that individuals lack the cognitive capacity to make fully informed and unbiased decisions in complex environments (Kahneman et al. 1982; Payne et al. 1988). To cope with complex judgments and decisions, people use simplifying heuristics that are prone to systematic biases. Decision makers do not maximize the subjective expected utility of total wealth, but focus on deviations from cognitive reference points. BDT has found many applications in the social sciences, including strategic management (Bazerman and Moore 2008). (Powell et al. 2011)
