Decision Making Framework

Cyberspace possesses unique characteristics, which should be taken into consideration in order to ensure the success of cyber operations or joint operations. How can the unique characteristics be addressed in strategic decision making? How can relatively more effective and efficient courses of action be selected or generated in cyberspace within a short period of time? These questions need to be addressed. This chapter briefly discusses the key requirements for strategic decision making. After a discussion about the key unique characteristics of cyberspace, it reveals the challenges that traditional strategic decision-making models are facing. Based on this analysis, this chapter proposes a new strategic decision-making framework in cyberspace, which helps to select or generate relatively more effective and efficient courses of action for a specific environment within a short period of time, thus guaranteeing the success in missions.

Despite the consensus that climate change will have huge consequences not just for the planet but also on corporate operations, businesses continue to fail to adjust their strategic decision-making processes to become more sustainable. One of the silent culprits behind climate change inertia lies in the cognitive biases at play in corporate decision making. This article builds on existing strategic decision-making models to explain how biases prevent managers from accurately identifying the moral dimensions of climate change. It also presents a broad range of practical interventions for how this constraint can be overcome.

Integration Strategies

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to define the “fast evolving industry” (FEI) and its supply chain management (SCM) challenges. The authors review and structure the literature regarding integration strategies and implementation methods to develop a strategic decision-making framework for SCM in the FEI. Design/methodology/approach The authors conduct a review of SCM literature, including supply chain strategy, supply chain integration (SCI), agile and responsive supply chain and SCM for innovative and fast-changing industries. The authors develop a conceptual model and a decision-making framework and use four mini cases to provide support for the model and framework. Findings The FEI, characterised by a high level of innovation and differentiation, short products/services lifecycle and high variety, is yet to be fully defined. Inherent uncertainty in FEI supply systems makes SCM in these industries a complex but strategic task for their managers. The framework and the model offered in this study, which employ a core competency concept and provide risk management strategies, offer a strategic tool for managers and scholars in the field to optimise their integration strategies and to operationalise integration decisions. Originality/value Little research has been published on transferable and cross-industrial SCM in FEIs. This paper defines the FEI and its resource-related concerns and then offers a conceptual model and a strategic decision-making framework for SCI in FEIs.
