Modified optimization model for selecting project risk response strategies
Journal Title: Operations Research and Decisions - Year 2017, Vol 27, Issue 2
Abstract
The authors present modifications of the optimization model for selecting project risk response strategies proposed by Zhang and Fan. The weaknesses of the original model has been identified and an improved model with the main suggestions has been proposed. The main improvement concerned the objective function. The modified model was tested using a real project in the electrical industry – engineering and construction of the main low voltage witchboard for a live fish carrier (Helix Q7000) in Norway. Project team members report that the analysis is time consuming but results are satisfying – the model allows more systematic and efficient risk management.

Orders of criticality in voting games
The authors focus on the problem of investigating the blackmail power of players in simple games, which is the possibility of players of threatening coalitions to cause them loss using arguments that are (apparently) unj...
Probabilities on streams and reflexive games
Probability measures on streams (e.g. on hypernumbers and p-adic numbers) have been defined. It was shown that these probabilities can be used for simulations of reflexive games. In particular, it can be proved that Auma...
Some notes on the properties of inconsistency indices in pairwise comparisons
Pairwise comparisons are an important tool of modern (multiple criteria) decision making. Since human judgments are often inconsistent, many studies have focused on the means of expressing and measuring this inconsistenc...

In the steel industry which is subject to significant volatility in its output prices and market demands for different ranges of products the diversification of production can generate important value for switch real opt...
Power on digraphs
It is assumed that relations between n players are represented by a directed graph or digraph. Such a digraph is called invariant if there is a link (arc) between any two players between whom there is also a directed pat...
