The persistent presence of cognitive biases has influenced rational decisions and strategic management since the 1970s. These prejudiced errors in judgment, often systematic and predictable, breach the foundational assumptions of economic theory, leading to dire consequences such as social inequality, financial collapse, and governmental inefficiency. Even the brightest minds are not immune, making it crucial to address these biases head-on. Overcoming Cognitive Biases in Strategic Management and Decision Making unravels the complex tapestry of biases that infiltrate decision-making processes at all levels. From social injustice biases and reasoning errors to action-inaction and social biases, the book confronts the myriad of ways that biases manifest in critical moments. These pose a significant threat to sound decision-making in various fields, impacting professionals ranging from judges and doctors to public officials. The repercussions of unchecked biases are far-reaching, leading to flawed outcomes that echo through society. The urgent need for a strategic response to mitigate these biases and enhance decision-making processes forms the crux of the problem this book seeks to address.

This is the first book that sums up test-related modeling of digital circuits and systems by a new structural-decision-diagrams model. The model represents structural and functional information jointly and opens a new area of research.The book introduces and discusses applications of two types of structural decision diagrams (DDs): low-level, structurally synthesized binary DDs (SSBDDs) and high-level DDs (HLDDs) that enable diagnostic modeling of complex digital circuits and systems.Topics and features:Provides the definition, properties and techniques for synthesis, compression and optimization of SSBDDs and HLDDsProvides numerous working examples that illustrate the key points of the textDescribes applications of SSBDDs and HLDDs for various electronic design automation (EDA) tasks, such as logic-level fault modeling and simulation, multi-valued simulation, timing-critical path identification, and test generationDiscusses the advantages of the proposed model to traditional binary decision diagrams and other traditional design representationsCombines SSBDDs with HLDDs for multi-level representation of digital systems for enabling hierarchical and cross-level solving of complex test-related tasksThis unique book is aimed at researchers working in the fields of computer science and computer engineering, focusing on test, diagnosis and dependability of digital systems. It can also serve as a reference for graduate- and advanced undergraduate-level computer engineering and electronics courses.Three authors are affiliated with the Dept. of Computer Systems at the Tallinn University of Technology, Estonia: Raimund Ubar is a retired Professor, Jaan Raik and Maksim Jenihhin are tenured Professors.

To succeed in business-in anything really-you need to become obsessed with being better. How can I be a better leader? How can we offer better customer service? How can we sell better? How can we work better as a team? How can we have better transparency as a company? How can we embrace change better?The obsession with being better hit Damon right between the eyes when one of his first customers threatened the entire business model he built on the first day that he was officially self-employed. That phone call was a brutal awakening. But it was also a blessing in disguise. It underscored the ever-pressing need to not just be good, but to be better. In all departments. At all times.That's where this book comes in. Believe in Better includes the ten key areas within the realm of business that will drive unprecedented success and growth when you simply focus on being better.Because being the best is fleeting. Being better is forever.

Organizations often declare that their biggest asset is their people. As such, business leaders make constant efforts to hire the best talent - and to get the best out of their workers. But a confluence of forces is reshaping all aspects of talent management. A war for talent rages and will be exacerbated in the long-term by demographic aging; the half-life of skills is decreasing as AI powers more parts of business workflows; flexible and hybrid work models are becoming commonplace; and management methods focused on measurement and efficiency are not sufficient for engaging a purpose-seeking generation. In these turbulent times, CEOs and their entire teams - not just HR - need to rethink how they can create a people advantage, going beyond traditional approaches to organization, performance management, and compensation. This book - a collection of recent essays written by researchers at the BCG Henderson Institute, Boston Consulting Group's think tank - aims to help leaders to reinvent work by providing a forward-looking perspective on all aspects of talent management. Across five chapters, the book discusses How to attract the talent of the future How to shape the workforce in an evolving context How to embrace new models of work How to build the workplace of the future How to establish new models of leadership and culture By providing a combination of new ideas, real-world examples, and concrete recommendations, Reinventing Work serves as a guide for leaders to effectively navigate the changing nature of work.

"We undergo change and transformation, both good and bad, regularly. From social disruptions like economic recessions, pandemics, and new techn ologies to individual disruptions like getting married, career transitions, and becoming a parent, change is not the exception, it's the rule. Yet we endlessly fight it, often viewing it as a threat to our stability and sense of self. This book flips this script on its head and offers a path for embracing and even growing from change, which is accelerating seemingly every day. Stulberg introduces a new model that describes change as an ongoing cycle of order, disorder, and reorder, yes, we return to stability, but that stability is somewhere new. Rather than resist change we benefit from being in conversation with it. Drawing on convergence between modern science, ancient wisdom, and daily practice, he offers concrete principles for developing a mindset called rugged flexibility, along with the habits and practices to implement it"--]cProvided by publisher.

A veteran Wall Street Journal reporter dives into the world of billion-dollar traders and high-stakes crisis predictors who strive to turn extreme events into financial windfalls. There's no doubt that our world has gotten more extreme. Pandemics, climate change, superpower rivalries, technological disruption, political radicalisation, religious fundamentalism - all threaten chaos that put trillions in assets at risk. But around the world, across a wide variety of disciplines, would-be super-forecasters are trying to take the guesswork out of what formerly seemed like random chance. Some put their faith in 'black swans' - unpredictable, catastrophic events that can't be foreseen but send exotic financial instruments screaming in high-profit directions. Most famous among this group of big-bet traders are those who run the Universa fund, who, on days of extreme upheaval, have made as much as $1 billion.Author Scott Patterson gained exclusive access to Universa strategists and met with savvy seers in a variety of fields, from earthquake prediction to counterterrorism to climatology, to see if it's actually possible to bet on disaster - and win. Riveting, relevant, and revelatory, this is a must-read for anyone curious about how some of today's investors alchemise catastrophe into profit.

This book investigates in detail large-scale group decision-making (LSGDM) problem, which has gradually evolved from the traditional group decision-making problem and has attracted more and more attention in the age of big data. Pursuing a holistic approach, the book establishes a fundamental framework for LSGDM with uncertain and behavioral considerations. To address the behavioral uncertainty and complexity of large groups of decision-makers, this book mainly focuses on new solutions of LSGDM problems using the interval type-2 fuzzy uncertainty theory and social network analysis techniques, including the exploration of uncertain clustering analysis, the consideration of social relationships, especially trust relationships, the construction of consensus evolution networks, etc. The book is intended for researchers and postgraduates who are interested in complex group decision-making in the new media era. Authors also investigate the similar features between LSGDM problems and group recommendations to study the applications of LSGDM methods. After reading this book, readers will have a new understanding of the LSGDM study under the real complicated context.

One of the most memorable movie lines of all time was uttered by Vizzini and Inigo Montoya in The Princess Bride, "Inconceivable!" "You keep saying this word it does not mean what you think it means!" What happens when you take this famous quote and extract the leadership-altering principle from it? You have a collection of bite-size yet unforgettable Leadership nuggets for the leader on the go.The idea for Inconceivable was born from the movie The Seventh Son, starring Jeff Bridges as Master Gregory, an aging witch-hunter who takes on an apprentice. As Mastery Gregory is training the apprentice, he is inundated with several stupid questions. At one point, Mastery Gregory barks at the apprentice, "Wrong question. Wrong questions get wrong answers." I was immediately struck by the obvious business principles embedded in this quote. I wondered if more movie quotes could be translated for leadership purposes. And thus was born Inconceivable.Inconceivable combines the love of movies, words, and leadership. This unusual trinity is the perfect platform to piqué curiosity and kickstart learning. Great movies can have a lasting impact on each of us. We take specific quotes from these movies that rehydrate the movie scene by scene until it grows into our hearts and actions. Inconceivable adds to this symbiotic relationship by infusing leadership ideas such as the importance of innovation, building collaborative teams, leading with vision, and modeling organizational core values.

Running to WIN!Idea-rich strategies for timely leadership and career success Several years back I was driving home to Calgary from Lethbridge, AB early one winter morning. I had been working with Southern Alberta clients all week and wanted to get back to the office early so I could drop off my paperwork, get a bit of catch up done, and start my weekend. I was making good time cruising down the highway with the radio playing some great tunes. Then, I noticed a sign saying Castlegar, BC only 65 miles. Whoa! I pulled over and collected my thoughts. How could that be? I was heading home to Calgary, Alberta! Somehow in my overworked, tired brain I had driven right through Fort Macleod and missed at least two BIG highway signs reminding me to turn 'RIGHT', to head 'NORTH' to Calgary. Sure, I was making great time, but I was going in the 'wrong' direction. We live in an increasingly hectic and demanding world. The demands of running a business or having a successful career overlap and conflict with the demands of having a life, being a spouse or parent, and enjoying the fruits of our labor. Many of us are already running as fast as we can - perhaps Running TOO Fast, and we're not keeping up. · Many of us are running without knowing where the finish line is located. · We are running without a real sense of purpose and we are running alone. · This is a recipe for failure and frustration. You can finish your race and still have a life! This revised mini book (2020-2023) is designed for those who are 'Running to WIN!' It is written by someone who has learned the value of leveraging his time investment for greater success and productivity, the hard way. ¿¿¿¿ You can too! Bob 'Idea Man' Hooey, Author of "Running TOO Fast" and "Think Beyond the FIRST Sale"
