Not necessarily true!I don’t know that this story has any deeper meaning except to reassure us all that even enormous financial firms do things that are the equivalent of leaving your car keys in the freezer, but: the Wall Street Journal http://gawker.com/weird-little-human-error-costs-company-190-million-1780314038 reports today on how the investment firm T. Rowe Price cost itself $200 million by accidentally voting the wrong way on a 2013 proposed buyout of Dell. By “accidentally voting the wrong way,” we mean that the company spoke up against the buyout plan and made a big show of opposing the buyout plan and then just... voted for it. The money manager has blamed its vote in favor of the deal on a back-office error. The default stance of T. Rowe in merger votes—like many large investors—is to support management, which in Dell’s case recommended in favor of the deal. So T. Rowe Price’s computerized system spit out instructions to vote “yes” that weren’t manually overridden before the final vote, according to court filings.This human error cost T. Rowe Price $190 million. Sometimes you just have to laugh because life is funny :)[Image via] Terms of Service Privacy Policy

Human error will almost certainly be a contributor to such undesirable outcomes because human decision-making will determine one's behavior. When looking at the impact of decision errors we can easily see that poor decision-making results in preventable deaths, costly equipment downtime, poor quality of our products, and hence, reduced profitability. In 2004, 91 percent of fatal work injuries occurred in private industries. Within private industry, 47 percent of those deaths occurred in the service industries and 44 percent occurred in the goods industries. Also, using published 2004 statistics from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, we learned that construction industry deaths were up 8 percent to 1,224. These statistics indicate an upward trend in accidents involving fatalities. However, think about all of the accidents that occur that do not rise to the level of
