Analiza i wartościowanie informacji w procesie decyzyjnym
2016
W artykule przedstawiono problematykę oceny wartości informacji przekazywanych w postaci komunikatów. Do analizy wykorzystano jedną z metod wielokryterialnej analizy porównawczej. Przedstawiona analiza ma wymierne znaczenie w procesie decyzyjnym, przy istotnym ograniczeniu czasowym. Analiza została poparta przykładem, w którym rozważono grupę komunikatów scharakteryzowanych poprzez zbiór cech o charakterze ilościowo-jakościowym. Zaprezentowana metoda oceny informacji może znaleźć praktyczne zastosowanie w procesie decyzyjnym w ramach zarządzania kryzysowego w sytuacjach nadzwyczajnych.
On approaches for solving computationally expensive multiobjective optimization problems
2016
In this thesis, we consider solving computationally expensive multiobjective optimization problems that take into account the preferences of a decision maker (DM). The aim is to support the DM in identifying the most preferred solution for problems that have several conflicting objectives and when the evaluation of the candidate solutions is time consuming. This is conducted by replacing computationally expensive functions with computationally inexpensive functions, known as surrogates. First, based on a literature survey, we introduce two frameworks, i.e., a sequential and an adaptive framework, based on which surrogate-based methods are classified and compared. We then identify relevant cha…
LAS DISTINTAS PERSPECTIVAS DE TOMA DE DECISIONES EN EL PROCESO DE FORMACIÓN DE LA ESTRATEGIA Y EL MIDDLE MANAGEMENT ROLE
2010
<p>Este trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar los temas relacionados con las distintas perspectivas de toma de decisiones en la organización: top-down, bottom-up y middle-up-down y el papel del directivo medio en ese proceso. Para ello se busca delimitar los conceptos derivados de estudios empíricos e teóricos seminales, cruzando diferentes líneas de pensamiento, pretendiendo formar un marco teórico conceptual en torno a la perspectiva integradora en el proceso de formación de la estrategia. En cuanto a la forma de desarrollo del estudio, este se caracteriza como un ensayo teórico, al revisar estos conceptos y teorías de manera que del análisis se pueda obtener una propuesta de aplicac…
Heterogeneity in Disordered Gambling: Decision-Making and Impulsivity in Gamblers Grouped by Preferred Form
2019
Background: Previous research has indicated that disordered gamblers display deficits in impulsivity and risky decision-making, compared to healthy control groups. However, disordered gamblers are not a homogenous group, and differences in performance on neurocognitive tasks may be related to the form of gambling in which an individual chooses to engage. The present study used neurocognitive tasks and questionnaire measures to ascertain group differences in gamblers grouped by preferred form of gambling. Method: Treatment-seeking pathological gamblers from the National Problem Gambling Clinic, London (n = 101), completed a neurocognitive assessment comprising the Cambridge gamble task (CGT)…
Trygghet når du trenger det mest : en kvalitativ studie av intensivsykepleieres erfaringer med bruk av CAM-ICU.
2016
Masteroppgave i spesialsykepleie – Universitetet i Agder 2016 Background: 50-90 % of all patients whom is hospitalized in an ICU will suffer from intensive care delirium. The decision-making-tool CAM-ICU is used and activated in many of the intensive-care units in Norwegian hospitals. Some research show that the tool isn’t used correctly – therefor I wanted to find out what experience my fellow ICU-nurses had with the tool. Aim and objective: The aim of this study is to gain a broad understanding into the ICU-nurses experience, using CAM-ICU. Method: Seven qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted by a total of eight ICU-nurses using CAM-ICU to identify and prevent delirium. The…
Between a rock and a hard place : middle managers' ethical decision making and behaviour in the organisational context
2018
This study increases knowledge and understanding of middle managers’ ethical decision-making and behaviour within the context of Finnish higher education. The aim of the research is to develop a new framework for ethical decision-making and behaviour by combining prior theories and empirical knowledge. This dissertation consists of an introductory essay and three articles. The main argument of this research is that through organisations’ socialisation processes, middle managers adopt socially defined managerial roles, which affect their ethical decision-making and ethical conduct. We can say that especially the ethical organisational culture is significant for middle managers’ understanding…
Gratuité et Processus de Prise de Décision dans le Domaine Culturel : le Cas des Musées et des Monuments
2006
La gratuité est le caractère de ce qui est gratuit, c'est-à-dire de ce « qui se donne pour rien ».Il est intéressant d'observer que lorsque les individus évoquent le choix d'une visite gratuitede musée et de monument, comparativement à la visite payante, ils se positionnentrégulièrement comme des consommateurs qui expriment des préférences, évaluent desalternatives, traitent des informations et manifestent des intentions de consommation. Dèslors, il convient d'analyser, dans notre recherche, le processus de prise de décision del'individu en tant que consommateur de la visite culturelle. Dans une première partie, nousdévelopperons ainsi les effets de la gratuité sur le processus de prise de …
The three wives problem and Shapley value
2015
We examine the Talmudic three wives problem, which is a generalization of the Talmudic contested garment problem solved by Aumann and Maschler (1985) using coalitional procedure. This problem has many practical applications. In an attempt to unify all Talmudic methods, Guiasu (2010, 2011) asserts that it can be explained in terms of “run-to-the-bank”, that is, of Shapley value in a “cumulative game”. It can be challenged because the coalitional procedure yields the same result as the nucleolus, which corresponds to a “dual game”. As Guiasu's solution is paradoxical (it has all the appearances of truth), my contribution consists in explaining the concepts, particularly truncation, that play …

Master's thesis Innovative governance and public management ME523 - University of Agder 2019 The development in the Higher Education (HE) sector hasfor the past decade been characterized by structural changes in form of government-initiated mergers. The aim of such structural changes was to enhance the quality by concentrating the resources in fewer but stronger institutions. The signals from the Ministry of Education and Research about such changes was the start of a wave of mergers in the sector, whichover a few years resulted in a decrease in the number of Higher Education Institutions (HEI)from 33 to 21. However, not all of the negotiation processes about potential mergers turned out to…
