Abstract:
What is the most important ingredient for the success of an organization? Companies
that want to succeed in the business world of today must be prepared for the new
realities. Customers want results, the workforce wants a challenging and rewarding job
experience, competition is tougher than ever before, and technology is providing
unprecedented opportunities to explore. Strategic decisions are hard to describe in
formal way, as there are individual and subjective characteristics, which are difficult or
impossible to formalize, and therefore some authors consider strategic decision making
more as an art than as the science. On the other hand, conditions for decision making are
becoming more and more complex; there are unlimited amounts of data but less time to
process them. The use of modern IT technologies can help to overcome some of these
difficulties, but final decision belongs to manager.
Introduction
The project is focused on the strategic decision making. This covers a wide range of
areas, but we will aim our effort especially to:
• Managerial decisions
• Autonomous systems (agents)
• Control algorithms
• Economic decisions (investment)
Due to the large number of related scientific areas, there is a large number of scientists
from different branches that have agreed to participate in this project.
The main aim of the project is focused on the strategic decision making. This is useful
for many areas (economic, management, informatics, robotics, etc.) where decisions are
to be made quickly and correctly. When doing any strategic decision, many aspects
have to be considered at one moment. We are always trying to obtain a “qualified”
decision, i.e. decision based on all relevant information. Amount of such information
