The management of natural- and human-induced wildland fires is an intricate process that must balance two considerations: that of fire as a necessary natural disturbance and that of the risks that fire poses. Reconciling tradeoffs between these risks and benefits is contingent upon informed, directed, and two-way communication between wildland fire managers and stakeholders. In an effort to aid...

Decision-making competence in later adulthood is affected by declines in cognitive skills, and age-related changes in affect and experience can sometimes compensate. However, recent findings suggest that age-related changes in motivation also affect the extent to which adults draw from experience, affect, and deliberative skills when making decisions. To date, relatively little attention has be...

Recently, supply networks have attracted increasing attention from the scientific community. However, it lacks serious consideration of social preference in Supply Chain Management. In this paper, we develop an evolutionary decision-making model to characterize the effects of suppliers’ altruism in supply networks, and find that the performances of both suppliers and supply chains are improved ...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is one of the scientific method that computes the efficiency by using a powerful mathematics basic. data envelopment analysis is a non-parametric technique to evaluate the efficiency of a set of decision making units (dmu) with multi inputs and outputs . since dea’s models classifies decision making units into two categories of efficient and inefficient, so most ...

Second, it represents the fundamental architecture of an enterprise’s data, and as such is an ideal starting place for database design. To be sure, the final structure of a database may differ from the data model for good and valid reasons, but the closer it remains to the original structure, the more likely it is to be able to resist requirements for future changes. To the system designer and ...

This paper surveys the dominant models in the literature of positive Ethical Decision-Making Models (hereafter, EDMMs): an area in the academic sub-discipline of business ethics. While this group of eight models is not exhaustive, it is, I believe, definitive. The survey does not address other decision-making apparati, e.g., game theory. Neither does it address normative Ethical Decision-Making...
