Todays increased interest in enterprise risk management is motivated by decision making in reaction to change and complex compliance requirements as well as the need to minimize business losses and improve business outcomes. It is therefore important to help business stakeholders become fully aware of applicable risks and their possible impact on other business constituents. This paper represents...
The aim of this paper is to introduce and validate a logic-based framework that serves as the underlying model for a recently introduced formalism for capturing enterprise architecture design decisions by Plataniotis et al. Our working hypothesis is that capturing of design knowledge in terms of a logic-based framework will enable consistency checks of the underlying rationales and advanced impact/what-if...
This paper proposes two kinds of minimum cost models regarding all the individuals and regarding with one particular individual respectively, shows the economic significance of these two models by exploring their dual models based on the primal-dual linear programming theories, and builds the conditions when these two models have the same optimal consensus opinion.
There has been a focus on the management of the complex engineering project. Firstly the organizational design elements that affect the decision making performance of a complex engineering project in the uncertain environment are analyzed. Then an agent-based model is proposed, in which the environmental uncertainty is represented with environmental complexity and turbulence. During modeling, a task...
The final report of the World Commission on the Environment and Development, also known as the Brundtland Report, defines sustainable development as "development that meets the needs of the present with-out compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs". Subsequent international efforts such as the Rio de Janeiro Conference in 1992, the publication of Agenda 21,...
Through a literature review, we find that the bidding models based on rational theory have revealed little practical values by only taking into account of environmental constraints leaving bounded rationality neglected. This paper studies how bidders' cognitive limitations will affect their decision process in the framework of bounded rationality and we find that the satisficing rule and the aspiration...
Although the growth of SMEs is in vogue in the economical literature, the decision making inside the small business is a comparatively less studied theme. By synthesizing leading decision theories and taking into account of SMEs' characteristics in China's context, this paper develops an evaluation framework of decision-making in SMEs with four main components: environment, organization, decision-maker...
We describe a number of high-level design decisions that we found essential for a Computer-assisted Assessment System that is to be deployed in school classrooms for supporting formative assessment by teachers and self-assessment by students. In addition, the system needs to provide information to parents. Our design decisions comprise the use of the Open Learner Model approach to make diagnostic...
Universities as an input-output system, its size is an important factor in education efficiency of investment. We use the 2006 financial report data of 76 institutions directly under the Ministry of Education, use CCR, BCC and NIRS models of DEA to empirical analysis, finds many universities exist scale diseconomies phenomenon, but the scale economies in kinds of universities are different.
The evaluation of river ecosystem health is significant for the sustainable development of cities. In practical application, evaluation criteria are shown in interval pattern. However, in some commonly used methods, evaluation criteria of discrete values are often taken. Furthermore, the simplification of index from interval pattern to the point value form affects the rationality and accuracy of evaluation...
In order to evaluate the overall scheme of mechanical product and choose the best scheme reliably and scientifically. Briefly discussed the priority-degree evaluation method of mechanical product's overall scheme, used the AHP method to determining the weight of index, and established the evaluation model by the priority-degree evaluation method. Then gave an example to analyze the application of...
Based on the background of the low-carbon economy, the environmental index is brought into the evaluation system of Balance Score Card, and each index is decided to be important or less important through the AHP method.The fuzzy assessment method is used to form the evaluation model for enterprise performance, which is tested and studied. The improvement of this method not only meets the demands of...
In order to meet the requirements of modern society, students in business related specialties need to possess practical ability, decision-making ability and the tools of mastering knowledge. Experimental teaching, as a kind of teaching reform that adapts the need of the society, starts to be used widely in business colleges. However, there are some problems and difficulties in business experimental...
This text applies relevant theory of the quality cost to the management of quality cost of the channel and then based on relative theories of fuzzy decision improving AHP in order to appraise every index of the system of the Channel quality cost and solves the problem of the empowerment.
Evaluation for supply chain information sharing is an important issue of supply chain management. This paper proposed a bijective soft set model for evaluating supply chain information sharing approaches. An example is given to illustrate the model as well.
The paper develops a multi-hierarchical fuzzy AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) comprehensive evaluation model to evaluate and rank the economical campus. The study adopts AHP method, one of the multiple attribute decision-making approaches to calculate the relative weights of sub-attributes. An example calculation is provided to offer ways to improve the efficiency of economical campus construction...
In the interviewing of teacher recruitment, each member of the expert group need to evaluate the comprehensive quality of the candidates. This evaluation always involved several elements and indexes. Composite fuzzy judge decision-making was used to analyze the evaluation of the expert group, and line up the comprehensive quality of the candidates quantitatively.
The higher education investment decision-maker in rural families is a bounded rational one. The paper analysis the factors impacting the decision-making of them, founded that, the willing of the children and the prospective revenue can give a positive affection to the decision-making of higher education investment in rural families, perceived risks an reverse one. And the perceived cost based on the...
With the maturity of Web2.0, information exchange and information sharing have reached an unprecedented breadth and depth, which also provide a good condition for the spreading of false information in virtual communities. Through the collection and analysis of a large number of comments of virtual communities, this paper presents a solution of credibility analysis of comments of virtual community...
