FUZZY SOFT SET THEORY AND ITS APPLICATIONS

In this work, we define a fuzzy soft set theory and its related properties. We then define fuzzy soft aggregation operator that allows constructing more efficient decision making method. Finally, we give an example which shows that the method can be successfully applied to many problems that contain uncertainties.

Underlying Assumptions of Several Traditions in Systems Theory and Cybernetics

How is the field of systems science different from other scientific fields, and how can we distinguish the various traditions within systems science? We propose that there is a set of underlying assumptions which are generally shared within systems science but are less common in other scientific fields. Furthermore, the various traditions within systems science have adopted different combinatio...

Time Driven Activity Based Costing : Theory,Applications and Limitations

The aim of this study is to explore the strategic applications and limitations of Time-driven Activity-based Costing (TDABC) and to evaluate the degree of accuracy of the proponents’ arguments concerning its usefulness. In this study, published works directly related to this area from the period 2004-2015 are analyzed. This study reports TDABC's applications in strategic areas such as cost of p...
