De veranderende communicatiemiddelen vragen tegenwoordig om snelle beslissingen, zowel in ons werk als privé. En om niet alleen snelle, maar ook de goede beslissingen te nemen heb je wel de juiste gegevens en data nodig. De toename van big data zorgt ervoor dat de deskundigheid van je keuze toeneemt. Maar is deze data wel beschikbaar of volledig om daarop te kunnen vertrouwen ?"Volg je intuitie" is dan het advies dat vaak klinkt. Intuitie zorgt weliswaar voor snelheid maar is evenmin perfect, want ons brein is niet perfect. Toch zijn er geruststellende ervaringen met intuitie. Flitsbesluiten die goed uitpakten. Dat wijst erop dat onze intuitie een goed hulpmiddel is bij snelle besluiten.Het boek 'Het flitsbrein' gaat over intuitie en besluitvorming. Wat kan je met intuitie in het alledaagse bestaan, kan je haar gebruiken op het moment dat je belangrijke besluiten moeten nemen, of moet je daar juist voorzichtig mee zijn en iets anders inzetten ? Aan de hand van praktische voorbeelden uit het bedrijfsleven, onderzoeken en inzichten neemt Bert Overbeek je mee in de wereld van flitsbesluiten en wat je intuitie hierbij kan betekenen. Iedereen die in organisaties besluiten neemt kan met de tips direct profiteren van intuitie als tool voor snelle besluitvorming. Bron : http://www.bol.com

The scope of this book is Operations Research methods in Agriculture and a thorough discussion of derived applications in the Agri-food industry. The book summarizes current research and practice in this area and illustrates the development of useful approaches to deal with actual problems arising in the agriculture sector and the agri-food industry. This book is intended to collect in one volume high quality chapters on Methods and Applications in Agriculture and Agri-food industry considering both theoretical issues and application results. Methods applied to problems in agriculture and the agri-food industry include, but are not restricted to, the following themes: Dynamic programming Multi-criteria decision methods Markov decision processes Linear programming Stochastic programming Parameter estimation and knowledge acquisition Learning from data Simulation Descriptive and normative decision tree techniques, including: agent modelling and simulation, and state of the art surveys Each chapter includes some standard and traditional methodology but also some recent research advances. All the applications presented in the chapters have been inspired and motivated by the demands from the agriculture and food production areas.

This book is about how models can be developed to represent demand and supply on markets, where the emphasis is on demand models. Its primary focus is on models that can be used by managers to support marketing decisions. The market environment is changing rapidly and constantly. With the introduction of scanner equipment in retail outlets, the use of hand scan panels, and the data explosion caused by the Internet, the opportunity to obtain meaningful estimates of demand functions has vastly improved. Models that provide information about the sensitivity of market behavior to marketing activities such as advertising, pricing, promotions and distribution are now routinely used by managers for the identification of changes in marketing programs that can improve brand performance. In today’s environment of information overload, the challenge is to make sense of the data that is being provided globally, in real time, from thousands of sources. Modeling Markets presents a comprehensive overview of the tools and methodologies that managers can use in decision making. It has long been known that even simple models outperform judgments in predicting outcomes in a wide variety of contexts. More complex models potentially provide insights about structural relations not available from casual observations. Although marketing models are now widely accepted, the quality of the marketing decisions is critically dependent upon the quality of the models on which those decisions are based. In this book, the authors present a wealth of insights developed at the forefront of the field, covering all key aspects of specification, estimation, validation and use of models. Many current insights and innovations in quantitative marketing are presented. Throughout the book, the authors provide examples and illustrations. This book will be of interest to researchers, analysts, managers and students who want to understand, develop or use models of marketing phenomena.

This textbook is comprised of detailed case studies covering challenging real world applications of OR techniques. Among the overall goals of the book is to provide readers with descriptions of the history and other background information on a variety of industries, service or other organizations in which decision making is an important component of their daily operations. The book considers all methods of optimum decision making in order to improve performances. It also compares possible solutions obtained by different approaches, concluding with a recommendation of the best among them for implementation. By exposing students to a variety of applications in a variety of areas and explaining how they can be modeled and solved, the book helps students develop the skills needed for modeling and solving problems that they may face in the workplace. Each chapter of "Case Studies in Operations Research: Applications of Optimal Decision Making" also includes additional data provided on the book’s website on Springer.com. These files contain a brief description of the area of application, the problem and the required outputs. Also provided are links to access all the data in the problem. Finally there are project exercises for students to practice what they have learnt in the chapter, which can also be used by instructors as project assignments in their courses.
