Targeting is the fundamental work in cyberspace operational plan. This paper investigates the basic tradeoffs and decision processes involved in cyber targeting and proposes a simple game theoretic model for cyberspace targeting to support operational plan. Then an optimal targeting strategy decision algorithm applying the game theoretic model is developed. The key component of this game theoretic...
This research paper discusses the controled design process of using a new ICT approach to theorize a language learning model in the context of language learning. It starts with the introduction of ICT. Then the relateed ICT affordances are explored. After it, the controlled design process of using a new ICT approach is stated which may be suitable to language learning. Finally, the factors which lead...
Project leader's lobbying behavior is a common phenomenon because research projects are constrained by investment funds in science-and-technology enterprises. But two decision-making methods of project at home and abroad, static analysis and options dynamic analysis, usually ignore lobbying behaviors, which cause deviation between analysis results and facts. This paper introduces project leader's...
School organizational culture affected the school effectiveness, while the leadership styles were the key factor affecting the school organizational culture. Quantitative research with purposive sampling was adapted in this study to investigate the faculty of universities in Shanghai area to explore the influence factors of organizational culture, and building the model.

Procedural justice in team decision-making is an important variable affecting the decision quality. We establish and test a relationship model of procedural justice in decision-making, team trust and decision quality by taking the Zhejiang private enterprises as sample. The results show that decision quality was improved by meliorating procedural justice in team decision-making, and team trust serves...
The virtual enterprise must avoid risks successfully for the desired goal. When the leader and partners of virtual enterprise are in relation non-team and may exploit their information in an opportunistic way, in order to ensure virtual enterprise risk management carried out smoothly, the leader must develop effective risk control mechanism. The principal-agent theory and Distributed Decision-making...
We consider a two-echelon decentralized supply chain of customized handset with a telecom-operator as a leader and a manufacturer as a follower. Operator gives subsidy to handsets in the form of providing free communication services for customers in one period. In this setting, operator's decision does affect the efficiency of supply chain. This paper claims that operator is able to find optimal decision...
After the Era of Economic Crisis, if an enterprise wants to win the advantageous opportunity, it must have reliable supply chain partners. So the research of evaluation on supply chain partners has become hot contents of supply chain management. Based on the history data of some typical enterprises in choosing partners, this paper use rough sets theory to reduce evaluation indexes. Thus we can obtain...
Scientific decision-making as the main symbol of the modern management of enterprises, has been increasingly paid attention by people. Correct decision depends on many factors, we must have a sound decision-making system and comply with scientific decision-making procedures, besides, decision-makers' experience, talent and quality, the use of appropriate decision-making methods are also the crucial...
This paper examines the impacts of social factors on lenders' decision-making in online peer-to-peer (P2P) lending. Data collected from a major U.S. online loan marketplace, Prosper.com, have been analyzed. We propose a model based on preferential attachment and fragmentation to model the bidding behavior of lenders. Our data analysis presents strong empirical evidence that there were significant...
Designing and formulating a comprehensive organization performance evaluation model based on European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) in AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) method is the main aim of the present research study. Evaluation is considered as one of the most important activities in each organization in a way that reformation of processes and procedures of doing activity without evaluation...
Under the background of China, the civil servant competency is of the characteristic of fuzziness and it's hard to quantify. In response to this situation, this paper based on fuzzy linguistic assessment scale gives the corresponding expression formula of triangular fuzzy numbers, assembles different programs with the generalized GIOWA and calculates the evaluation results. The paper calculates of...
In this paper, we study the both-branch fuzzy dynamic decision-making by using the method of set pair analysis in both-branch fuzzy system. The factors and the up-branch, down-branch, both-branch of the Both-branch fuzzy decision-making are analysed with the set pair analysis respectively. It provides the method of both-branch fuzzy decision-making based on SPA, builds up the model of both-branch...
Decision-making on bidding alliance partner is a complex multi-objective problem, and the result will directly affect the winning of BOT projects bidding. First the problem of bidding alliance partner decision-making is analyzed and operation process of bidding alliance is mainly described. Then multi-objective model of bidding alliance partner decision-making is established. As to specific tasks,...
The text focus on the factor of manager selection and design the evaluation using Gray Method, supplemented by the AHP's weight set characteristics to bring forward manager selection method, and giving out the concrete examples of calculation steps and analysis.
This paper describes the qualitative simulation modeling applied to a supply chain management. The main objective is to use complex system modeling methods to model the SCM (supply chain management) and then to determine the main parameters which have influence on the performance of the SCM. In this paper, the time series of the demand information from the customers will be analyzed and the forecasting...
In this research, a model of diffusion of innovations was built in markets where the set of ultimate adopters consists of two segments: leaders, who are more in touch with new developments and who also affect the other segment, pure imitators, whose own adoptions do not affect leaders. The main results are: (1) the speed of innovations diffusion is not a monotonic process but a process of ascending...
The paper used data from insurance agents and their supervisors from a multi-unit insurance company to test the effects of a mediator over the relationship between empowering leader behavior (ELB) and agent organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). Results showed that, among the three types of approaches to empowerment, leading by example was the strongest predictor in agent perceived job meaning,...
The construction industry has been facing a paradigm shift to (i) increase; productivity, efficiency, infrastructure value, quality and sustainability, (ii) reduce; lifecycle costs, lead times and duplications, via effective collaboration and communication of stakeholders in construction projects. Digital construction is a political initiative to address low productivity in the sector. This seeks...
To make an analysis of supply decision-making in financial innovation process which is treated as a system, this paper at first develops a duopoly model that focuses on incentives the new products bring to the supply agents. The positive externality and some kinds of the equilibrium are discussed, which show that the leader (innovator), comparing to the follower (imitator), has monopoly advantage...
