This thesis explores the application of scenario planning to regional strategic transportation planning (RSTP). Like all strategic planning, RSTP takes place in the presence of uncertainty, requiring flexibility and systematic thinking. The work presented builds on that of Mufioz in his application of scenarios to Mendoza, Argentina and the Cooperative Mobility Program ReS/SITE team's scenario-...

The authors provide background on these tools, explore, with special emphasis scenarios, a specific tool named “Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer” (hereafter, ChatGPT). examine utility scenarios generated by artificial intellige...

For 20 years the conflict between the planning school and the process school of strategy has shaped the debate on strategy creation. In our paper, we argue that a scenario-based approach to strategic planning can serve as a management innovation in the field, thus having the potential to overcome the discrepancies between the two opposing schools of strategy. The scenario-based approach to stra...

Scenario planning is a method for learning about the future by understanding the nature and impact of the most uncertain and important driving forces affecting that future. However, most scenarios, being mostly stories, lack validation, dynamism and fail to acknowledge all relations between actors, activities and resources. In this paper, we propose an agent-based model for scenario development...

Frameworks for IT evaluation have been extensively discussed in the past. Until recently, research had concentrated on advancing classic approaches such as monetary cost/benefit considerations or strategic management matrices, but that constriction to known methods has considerably softened. More researchers now use economic models in IT evaluation. Their contributions open exciting new perspec...

The present article formulates the scenarios that the organization will be probably facing with, using the uncertain factors in business environment, and it also selects the most robust strategies of organization for dealing with the formulated scenarios using the fuzzy information expressed by the experts in fuzzy inference system. The present article aims to provide a method enabling the scen...
