Leveraging the benefits of business intelligence and analytics (BI&A) and improving decision quality does not only depend on establishing BI&A technology, but also on the organization and characteristics of decision processes. This research investigates new perspectives on these decision processes and establishes a link between characteristics of BI&A support and decision makers’ modes of infor...

We study two aspects of globalization. It allows a decision-maker to go beyond his own local experience and to learn from other decision-makers in addressing common problems. This improves the identi…cation and di¤usion of best practices. It also provides extra information to ‘markets’ that evaluate decision-makers: comparisons become possible. We identify conditions under which the globalizati...

in today’s business competitive world, decision makers of companies try to employ standard, efficient, theoretical and operational proven methods as a competitive advantage for making their critical strategic business decisions in order to survive in their industry. in this paper, a hybrid model based on fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fahp) and artificial neural network (ann) is presented. t...

Decision makers in dynamic environments such as air traffic control, firefighting, and call center operations adapt in real-time using outcome feedback. Understanding this adaptation is important for influencing and improving the decisions made. Recently, stimulus-response (S-R) learning models have been proposed as explanations for decision makers’ adaptation. S-R models hypothesize that decis...

This paper proposes and characterizes a sequential decision aggregation system consisting of agents performing binary sequential hypothesis testing, and a fusion center which collects the individual decisions and reaches the global decision according to some threshold rule. Individual decision makers’ behaviors in the system are influenced by other decision makers, through a model for social pr...
