The main objective of this work was to evaluate the use of game theory as a strategic tool for watershed management decision-making. An engineering problem case study was used in which three organizations compare various scenarios when deciding where to locate a polluting plant on a watershed. Six games were modeled to provide a variety of conditions that could feasibly be implemented and were simulated using software for finding Nash Equilibria solutions. The results show that game theory can provide key insights, such as the consideration of other players’ strategies, and identify possible pitfalls that may occur when the companies seek only to maximize their individual profitability.

Tree growth management decision-making model can simulate growth management of tree and perform quantitative analysis of tree growth conditions. This paper explores the feasibility of modern information technology in management assessment of tree growth, information technology include neural network, ontology and expert system technology, then ontology technology is used to establish ontology database and knowledge base of tree growth management resource, the growth simulation and tree growth management ontology technology are used to build simulation models of tree growth, then expert systems and neural network technology are combined to simulate tree growth development process of decision-making model. The practice has proved that the research can not only predict the growth conditions of tree and dynamic grasp the growth process of the tree, but also can provide theoretical basis for the analysis and evaluation of tree growth management, greatly improving the level of tree growth management.

Abstract. Based on responses from 158 reward managers located at the headquarters or subsidiaries of multinational enterprises, the present study examines the relationship between the centralization of reward management decision making and its perceived effectiveness in multinational enterprises. Our results show that headquarters managers perceive a centralized approach as being more effective, while for subsidiary managers this relationship is moderated by the manager’s role identity. Referring to social identity theory, the present study enriches the standardization versus localization debate through a new perspective focusing on psychological processes, thereby indicating the importance of in-group favoritism in headquarters and the influence of subsidiary managers’ role identities on reward management decision making.
