The ability of now-casting and eventuality is the most crucial and vital achievement of big data analytics in the area of policy-making. To recognize the trends and to render a real image of the current condition and alarming immediate indicators, the significance and the specific positions of big data in policy-making are undeniable. Moreover, the requirement for policy-making institutions to ...

aesthetics relates to felt meaning generated from sensory perceptions, and involves subjective, tacit knowledge rooted in feeling and emotion. we believe the aesthetics of management is important, but little understood, aspect of organizational life. we propose that followers use their aesthetic senses in making these assessments. in this article we try to discover the role of aesthetic in man...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a mathematical programming method in operations research that can be used to distinguish between efficient and inefficient decision making units (dmus). however, the conventional dea models do not have the ability to rank the efficient dmus. this article suggests bootstrapping method for ranking measures of technical efficiency as calculated via non-radial mod...

each customer or consumer communicates with different markets with a specific decision-making style and these styles approximately remain constant over time. this research is done between tehran home appliance store customers with the aim of identifying the sproles and kendall’s model decision-making styles. sproles and kendall’s model has identified eight different decision-making styles, whic...

Entrepreneurship is an area where interdependencies are very high, and the establishment of collaborative relationships such as networks is vital. Therefore, a network approach in the entrepreneurial policy-making process, which leads to the inv...

in this current study a generalized super-efficiency model is first proposed for ranking extreme efficient decision making units (dmus) in stochastic data envelopment analysis (dea) and then, a deterministic (crisp) equivalent form of the stochastic generalized super-efficiency model is presented. it is shown that this deterministic model can be converted to a quadratic programming model. so fa...
