Understanding Advanced Decision Making introduces both traditional and advanced frameworks for navigating complicated decisions in a range of sectors such as finance, business strategy, healthcare, environmental policy and project management. Qudrat-Ullah discusses the human factors and ethical considerations involved in the process, presenting detailed outlines for making responsible judgements. The book also explores the growing incorporation of advanced technologies into decision making, focusing on human–AI collaboration and the transparency of AI in models. Ultimately, it illustrates how to balance data, strategy and integrity when making decisions.

Scholars and academics working in social psychology, public policy, operations management, and organizational and occupational psychology will greatly benefit from this highly informative book. It is also an invaluable read for practitioners and policy makers in management and strategic planning.

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the role of fossil-based economies in the global energy transition toward sustainability.

The book’s main themes include understanding the challenges and opportunities inherent in transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, analyzing the economic, environmental, and social impacts of this transition, and identifying strategies for fostering sustainable practices within fossil-based economies. Through a multidisciplinary lens, this book navigates the complex dynamics of transitioning from fossil fuels to sustainable energy sources, addressing environmental, economic, and social dimensions. From understanding the challenges and opportunities posed by fossil-based practices to exploring successful case studies of green transitions, this book offers actionable insights for policymakers, practitioners, and stakeholders alike. The case studies showcase a range of real-world examples of successful green transitions and initiatives within fossil-based economies. With a visionary approach and a call for collaborative global efforts, this book advocates for a sustainable, equitable, and resilient energy future.

The roles and applications of various modeling approaches, aimed at improving the usefulness of energy policy models in public decision making, are covered by this book. The development, validation, and applications of system dynamics and agent-based models in service of energy policy design and assessment in the 21st century is a key focus. A number of modeling approaches and models for energy policy, with a particular focus on low-carbon economic development of regions and states are covered. Chapters on system dynamics methodology, model-based theory, fuzzy system dynamics frame-work, and optimization modeling approach are presented, along with several chapters on future research opportunities for the energy policy modeling community.

The use of model-based analysis and scenarios in energy policy design and assessment has seen phenomenal growth during the past several decades. In recent years, renewed concerns about climate change and energy security have posed unique modeling challenges. By utilizing the validation techniques and procedures which are effectively demonstrated in these contributions, researchers and practitioners in energy systems domain can increase the appeal and acceptance of their policy models.

This book is about improving human decision making and performance in complex, dynamic tasks. The defining characteristics of a dynamic decision task are that there are a number of decisions required, that decisions are interdependent and that the environment in which the decision is made is transient and feedback is pervasive. Examples of dynamic tasks include the sustainable management of renewable resources and how businesses might allocate resources for research and development (R&D) projects.  

Decision making in dynamic tasks can be improved through training with system dynamics–based interactive learning environments (ILE’s) that include systematic debriefing.  Some key features of the book include its didactic approach, numerous tables, figures, and the multidimensional evaluative model. Researchers can use the developed “evaluation model” to gauge various decision-aiding technologies. How to Improve Human Performance in Dynamic Tasks appeals to those interested in the design and evaluation of simulation-based decision support systems, as well as policy makers, students, researchers, and industrialists concerned by the issue of improving human performance in organizational tasks.
