Evaluation and Decision Models

Evaluation and Decision Models
By:Denis Bouyssou,Thierry Marchant,Marc Pirlot,Patrice Perny,Alexis Tsoukias,P. Vincke
Published on 2000-11-30 by Springer Science & Business Media

The purpose of Evaluation and Decision Models: A Critical Perspective is to provide a critical thinking framework for all individuals utilizing decision and evaluation models, whether it be for research or applications. It is axiomatic that all evaluation and decision models suffer some limitations. There are situations where a decision model will not perform to expectations. This book argues that there is no best decision or evaluation model, but that decision-makers must understand the principles of formal evaluation and decision models and apply them critically. Hence, the book seeks to deepen our understanding of evaluation and decision models and encourage users of these models to think more analytically about them. The authors work in six different European universities. Their backgrounds are varied: mathematics, economics, engineering, law, and geology, and they teach in engineering, business, mathematics, computer science, and psychology in their universities. As a group, the authors have particular expertise in a variety of decision models that include preference modelling, fuzzy logic, aggregation techniques, social choice theory, artificial intelligence, problem structuring, measurement theory, operations research, and multiple criteria decision support. In addition to their decision analysis research, all the authors have been involved in a variety of high-impact applications which include software evaluation, location of a nuclear repository, the rehabilitation of a sewer network, and the location of high-voltage lines. It is this variety within the authorship that unifies this book into a systematic examination of how best formal decision models can be used. The monograph is an excellent tool for researchers of decision analysis and decision-makers.

By:Cory Cotton

It began with a free sandwich, a simple camera, and twenty “I can do better than you” shots. From that afternoon of friendly competition, six college guys created Dude Perfect, a YouTube group that specializes in the craziest basketball shots you can imagine. Within months, the guys went from shooting backyard trick shots to starring in GMC truck commercials and standing on an L.A. Red Carpet. Listed by Advertising Age as one of YouTube’s Hottest Brands, Dude Perfect’s videos have reached and inspired hundreds of millions with one contagious message—the very phrase they championed from day one—Go Big. By leveraging the connected world, Dude Perfect’s dream became a reality, and now, they want the same for you. Written by one of the dudes himself, Go Big tells their story and unveils their secret: five practical principles for taking your passions, skills, and dreams to the next level.

Civil Society in British History

Civil Society in British History
By:Jose Harris
Published on 2005-07-14 by OUP Oxford

This book explores the many different strands in the language of civil society from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries. Through a series of case-studies it investigates the applicability of the term to a wide range of historical settings. These include 'state interference', voluntary associations, economic decision-making, social and economic planning, the 'bourgeois public sphere', civil society in wartime, the 'inclusion' and 'exclusion' of women, and relations between the state, the voluntary sector, and individual citizens. The contributors suggest that the sharp distinction between civil society and the state, common in much continental thought, was of only limited application in a British context. They show how past understandings of the term were often very different from (even in some respects the exact opposite of) those held today, arguing that it makes more sense to understand civil society as a phenomenon that varies between differenc cultures and periods, rather than a universally applicable set of principles and procedures.

Driven to Downing Street

Driven to Downing Street
By:Peter Smithson,Peter Smithson Bem,Angela Smithson
Published on 2014-06-29 by CreateSpace

This is the fascinating life story of the longest serving Government Car Service Driver (47 years), who for several years drove an armoured protection car in the company of Special Branch protection officers. From humble beginnings in a miner's cottage in County Durham to his own office in No.11 Downing Street with friends at the highest level of Government, this story wends its way from Peter's impoverished childhood, through anxious times during World War 2, followed by an exciting life in the RAF in Malaya, to a gradual progression through the ranks of the Government Car Service where he enjoyed a very eventful career as a protection driver before becoming the senior driver. Peter offers his own unique insight into some of the most important events in modern British history, including the Brighton bomb at the Conservative Conference, Geoffrey Howe's relationship with Margaret Thatcher and the dangers posed by the IRA. He gives a revealing 'behind the scenes' account of his time with Government Ministers at the highest level, including Harold Macmillan, Sir Geoffrey Howe, Sir Alec Douglas Home and Richard Crossman. He also recounts interesting meetings with famous people such as Sir Winston Churchill, Selwyn Lloyd and Margaret Thatcher as well as important foreign personalities including President John Kennedy, President Gorbachev and the Aga Khan. Finally, Peter achieves his ambition of becoming the permanent driver for the Foreign Secretary (Sir Geoffrey Howe), who he drove for 24 years when he served in Thatcher's cabinet as Chancellor of the Exchequer, Foreign Secretary and then Deputy Prime Minister and subsequently when he entered the House of Lords. This is the first book to be published which offers the unique insight of the inner workings of Government from the viewpoint of a GCS driver. An entertaining and informative book, which will appeal to a wide range of readers.
