There is a high level of interest and debate among academics and the business community regarding the future of electronic business. In recent times there has been considerable disillusionment with the losses and negative returns associated with many e-business investments. However, the move towards e-business enablement seems inevitable for reasons of efficiency and effectiveness. Developments in e-business should be of considerable interest to marketing strategists, as they impact on business networks and affect the nature of relationships between organisations and between an organisation and its customers. Business and marketing strategists would benefit from a better understanding of the incentives and inhibitors accruing at each stage of the evolutionary path to an e-business enabled future. Based on recent research, this paper proposes the use of two frameworks that may be used to stimulate management discussion, aid management decision-making and plan progressive moves into e-business.

The presented study identifies approaches to decision-making aimed at the optimal development of the urban environment.Aim. The study aims to develop proposals for improving methodological approaches aimed at the development of the urban environment and for using these approaches in the preparation of the corresponding management decisions.Tasks. The author assesses the problem of urbanization and shows how it affects the need to modernize the urban environment; formulates the principles of optimization of management decision-making aimed at the development of the urban environment; evaluates the possibility of the practical implementation of these principles (through the example of the federal city of St. Petersburg).Methods. This study uses strategic analysis, systems and case-based approach, comparative and retrospective analysis.Results. The practical aspects of designing the processes and approaches to urban environment management are examined. The efficiency of management is shown to depend largely on the optimization of management decisions that could improve the effectiveness of individual services aimed at the formation and development of a modern urban environment in the long term. The study describes the successful experience of St. Petersburg in developing the complex of urban environment management services.Conclusions. Improving urban environment management is an important aspect of increasing the population’s quality of life. As evidenced by St. Petersburg’s experience, to achieve a high level of comfort in the urban environment it is necessary to actively use the principles of consistency, innovation, and public participation in decision-making. The author recommends normative consolidation of these principles and their more active practical application in the management of Russian cities.

Management decision-making tasks are usually characterized by a high level of uncertainty. When solving this class of problems, it is necessary to take into account the environmental conditions for the implementation of the decisions made and the consequences that may arise in this case. The decision-making task in the face of uncertainty can be represented in the form of a “game with nature”, in which the optimal player strategy is sought. A two-stage decision-making process is considered, in which at each stage the decision-making problem is solved in conditions of risk. The case is supposed in which, after making a decision at the first stage, choosing an effective alternative and the onset of a certain state of nature, it is necessary to solve the decision-making problem of the second stage. Decision-making models based on well-known decision models of the “game with nature” are proposed. The developed models allow in the process of choosing an effective alternative to the first stage to assess the possible consequences of such a choice, taking into account the expectations of the decision maker. In the course of experimental verification, it is shown that the developed decision-making models can be used to solve such multi-stage problems, the phased solution of which is incorrect. This may occur due to the fact that some of their stages are associated with certain losses, and others – with profit. In such situations, it is advisable to consider the problem as a whole and at each stage, take into account all available information as much as possible.

Situational approach in management does not lose its relevance for a hundred years. During this time he constantly developed, being a part of various concepts, methodologies, methods, techniques and other forms of theoretical and practical implementation of scientific thought in different areas of human activity. The results of the analysis of scientific sources in the article over the past eight years confirmed the presence of the situational approach unlimited development potential. As one of the ways to develop the situational approach, the authors propose a new method of evaluation and management decision-making problems of a situational nature in the enterprise. In contrast to the existing methods, the proposed method is characterized by a high level of efficiency and versatility. The methodology provides decisions to the problems of situational nature of the three categories of complexity. For each category there are special forms in the form of different hierarchies. To reduce the number of possible errors and improve the efficiency of the methodology implementation, a special algorithm, as well as the necessary instructions for users, have been developed and presented. In addition, various information technologies are provided as tools for the implementation of the methodology. The method of analysis of T. Saati hierarchies was used as the core of the new method. The method of decision-making by Benjamin Franklin was adopted as a complement of the method. The final part of the article presents the results of testing the proposed method. In the majority of users of a technique really noted its universal and express properties. Thus, according to the results of testing at the enterprises, the technique is recognized as effective and viable.

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.

Response Decisions

Wildfire’s economic, ecological and social impacts are on the rise, fostering the realisation that business-as-usual fire management in the United States is not sustainable. Current response strategies may be inefficient and contributing to unnecessary responder exposure to hazardous conditions, but significant knowledge gaps constrain clear and comprehensive descriptions of how changes in response strategies and tactics may improve outcomes. As such, we convened a special session at an international wildfire conference to synthesise ongoing research focused on obtaining a better understanding of wildfire response decisions and actions. This special issue provides a collection of research that builds on those discussions. Four papers focus on strategic planning and decision making, three papers on use and effectiveness of suppression resources and two papers on allocation and movement of suppression resources. Here we summarise some of the key findings from these papers in the context of risk-informed decision making. This collection illustrates the value of a risk management framework for improving wildfire response safety and effectiveness, for enhancing fire management decision making and for ushering in a new fire management paradigm.
