This paper focuses on the first step in combining prescriptive analytics with scenario techniques in order to provide strategic development after the use of InSciTe, a data prescriptive analytics application. InSciTe supports the improvement of researchers ‘individual performance by recommending new research directions. Standardized influential factors are presented as a foundation for automate...

This article takes the form of a research proposal. The paper seeks to address the problem faced by investors of how best to deal with decision making under risk. The methodology utilizes a normative model from economics—expected utility theory—and a descriptive model from psychology—prospect theory—to formulate a rational but realistic compromise between the two: a prescriptive model of risk p...

Prescription drug spending is growing faster than any other sector of healthcare. However, very little is known about patterns of prescribing and cost of prescribing between general practices.
