Why Is Ronald A. Howard Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Ronald Arthur Howard is an emeritus professor in the Department of Engineering-Economic Systems in the School of Engineering at Stanford University. Howard directs teaching and research in decision analysis at Stanford and is the Director of the Decisions and Ethics Center, which examines the efficacy and ethics of decision-making under uncertainties. He coined the term "Decision Analysis" in a paper in 1966, kickstarting the field. He was a founding Director and Chairman of Strategic Decisions Group. Current research interests are improving the quality of decisions, life-and-death decision-making, and the creation of a coercion-free society. Howard also taught a graduate-level course, "Voluntary Social Systems", which investigated the means of constructing and operating a coercion-free society.
