FUZZY COGNITIVE MAPPING AS A TOOL TO DEFINE MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES FOR COMPLEX ECOSYSTEMS

Structuring and Ranking the Strategic Objectives Using the Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping Approach and BORDA-OWA Method

Objective Long-term strategic planning is necessary if an organization intends to go beyond its customers’ expectations and remain competitive. A balanced scorecard is considered as a mere scorecard without a strategic plan. Therefore, it will only report the important measures not a clear understanding of leading the whole organization towards success. Strategic planning as the rationale behi...

Cognitive Mapping as a Tool for Requirements Capture

This paper describes the application of cognitive mapping techniques, for eliciting and representing cognitive structure, to the problem of user requirement capture for the design of an electronic database. The research is based upon the assumption that organising information so as to be compatible with the structure of users' knowledge will enhance information retrieval by supporting more effe...

Analysis of Complex System Development Based on Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping

This article represents one of the contemporary trends in the application of the latest methods of classification in business, where intense competition and the desire to expand drive this science to far-reaching prospects using the discusses months and the most recent classification and forecasting algorithms such as SVM, FFM, C4.5, which are used to build better business decision support mode...

Drosophila as a genetic tool to define vertebrate pathway players.

In many instances, the strength of Drosophila melanogaster genetics can be used to enhance our understanding of complex vertebrate signaling systems. The general success of this approach is underscored by the large number of vertebrate signaling components whose very names derive in part from the names of Drosophila mutants. Examples include the vertebrate pathway components Sonic Hedgehog, Son...
