This paper provides an example of a practical integration of probabilistic policy analysis and multistakeholder decision methods at a hydroelectric facility in British Columbia, Canada. A structured decisionmaking framework utilizing the probabilistic judgments of experts, a decision tree, and a Monte Carlo simulation provided insight to a decision to implement an experimental flow release prog...

The research proposes and evaluates a structured approach to the development of complex multiorganizational incentive architectures for complex sustainable supply chains. It is proposed that ModelBased Systems Engineering (MBSE), a process for software and systems development, combined with SysML, a structured systems modeling standard, can be combined to design and test complex multiorganizati...

Human-horse interactions have a rich tradition and can be highly rewarding, particularly within sport and recreation pursuits, but they can also be dangerous or even life-threatening. In parallel, sport and recreation pursuits involving animals, including horses, are facing an increased level of public scrutiny in relation to the use of animals for these purposes.

Stakeholder analysis is widely recommended as a tool for gathering insights on policy actor interests in, positions on, and power to influence, health policy issues. Such information is recognized to be critical in developing viable health policy proposals, and is particularly important for new health care financing proposals that aim to secure universal coverage (UC). However, there remain sur...

This review introduces a conceptual framework for understanding stakeholder management (ShM) in the clinical and community-based research environment. In recent years, an evolution in practice has occurred in many applicants for public and non-governmental funding of public health research in hospital settings. Community health research projects are inherently complex, have sought to involve pa...
