This book presents a comprehensive overview of the principles and practices of decision-making. It highlights the interface between engineering/technology and the organizational, administrative, and planning abilities of decision-making. The chapters address decision-making using real-world case studies. They also discuss decision-making theory as well as relevant analysis techniques. The book blends computational techniques, dynamic analysis, probabilistic methods, and mathematical optimization techniques to support the analysis of multi-criteria decision-making problems with defined constraints and requirements.

Turbulence is not new to the business world. In fact, turbulence is increasing and managers are seeing teams spinning their wheels. Management systems are in a state of crisis and operations are more complex. The old top-down operations mode no longer suffices. Today⁰́₉s businesses demand speed and increased accuracy, forcing everyone to re-evaluate chains of command and tear down the walls between functions. Amid the responsibilities of traditional management lies problem solving. The push is toward moving decision-making authority down the ladder to all levels. Managers are no longer equipped to or capable of making the number and variety of necessary decisions in a vacuum. The current mode is to have employees deal directly with workplace issues and take corrective action without complaint and without management involvement. Coping with this reality and preparation for these improvements in workplace problem solving requires interest and motivation. Strategic Decision Making for Successful Planning can facilitate this by demystifying and simplifying the process. The book bridges philosophy and theory and puts together a practical integration of all the tools necessary to get results from your investment of time, energy, and money. What is unique about this book is while it⁰́₉s based on a strong academic foundation, it does not get bogged down in the human-planning or psychological process of solving problems. It doesn⁰́₉t provide ⁰́₈pie-in-the-sky⁰́₉ creative solutions or a five-year process for solving problems and planning for the future. Numerous techniques and tools are include to make the book the right balance between practical and academic. Includes an extensive case study to illustrate points made in the text.

In einem von hoher Dynamik geprägten Umfeld operieren produzierende Unternehmen im ständigen Wettbewerb. Die Unternehmen erhoffen sich von Projekten zur Digitalisierung in der Produktion notwendige Effizienzgewinne. Der Verlauf solcher Projekte lässt sich von der ersten Projektidee bis hin zur Umsetzung und Kontrolle der Zielerreichung als Entscheidungsprozess beschreiben. Doch verlaufen solche Projekte selten optimal. Vielmehr bringen herausfordernde Entscheidungssituationen zahlreiche Hindernisse mit sich. Diese Hindernisse müssen im Sinne einer verbesserten Entscheidungsqualität auf strukturierte Weise aufgelöst werden. Mit gängigen Ansätzen, zum Beispiel aus dem Bereich des Projektmanagements, ist das nicht auf angemessene Weise möglich. Das Konzept zur Entwicklung und Priorisierung von Handlungsempfehlungen greift diese Problemstellung auf und zeigt aus der Perspektive der angewandten Wissenschaft, wie die Entscheidungsqualität bei Digitalisierungsprojekten verbessert werden kann.

This report makes the case for greater gender diversity on Sri Lanka's corporate boards and in senior management by highlighting the value propositions of such diversity for companies, communities, and ultimately the country. Diversity is about more than just gender, ethnicity, or religion. However, this report focuses primarily on promoting gender diversity in the workplace, particularly in the corporate boardroom and among senior management. Empirical evidence from around the world shows the importance and value of gender diversity in improving firms' overall performance, including but not limited to financial performance. Gender diversity among business leaders typically leads to better decision-making processes and better monitoring and strategy involvement. The business case for gender balance at the top goes beyond financial performance. Extensive research shows that having more women in business leadership positions leads to higher environmental, social, and governance standards, with a particularly clear connection when women achieve a critical mass of about 30 percent on company boards. Companies with enhanced environmental, social, and governance standards also perform better on critical metrics: stronger internal controls and management oversight, reduced risk of fraud or other ethical violations, positive workplace environment, greater stakeholder engagement, and improved reputation and brand. Therefore, having a more gender-balanced board and leadership team contributes to stronger environmental, social, and governance performance, which, in turn, leads to better business performance. Ultimately, diversity is about ensuring companies' competitiveness, performance, and long-term sustainability.

Vor dem Hintergrund christlich determinierter Zukunftsvorstellungen stellen Entscheidensprozesse eine Form literarischer Zukunftsaneignung und -formung dar. Der Sammelband stellt die Frage nach dem Verhältnis von Entscheidensprozessen und Zukunftsentwürfen in vormodernem Erzählen: Welche Bedeutung kommt dem Erzählen von Entscheiden vor dem Hintergrund »geschlossener« Zukunftskonzeptionen zu? Die versammelten Beiträge bilden ein breites Spektrum vormodernen Erzählens ab und vermessen erstmals den Spielraum von Optionalität in der Literatur des Mittelalters und der Frühen Neuzeit. Biographische Informationen Dr. Susanne Spreckelmeier ist wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Germanistischen Institut der Westfälischen Wilhelms-Universität Münster.
