基于不确定条件下的供应商参与协同设计决策分析

以供应商参与协同设计所承担任务比例,作为其参与程度的定量指标,考虑研发不确定性,从供应商角度出发寻求其最适合的参与程度。研究结果表明,对于供应商而言,其参与受双方相对边际利润和开发能力,以及新产品市场不确定性的限制。供应商参与分担制造商部分设计任务有一个最适当的比例,该比例与其自身边际利润及技术开发能力正相关,与制造商边际利润以及技术开发能力负相关,与产品市场成功概率负相关。     

基于熵理论的建设项目参与者多目标协同群决策模型

建设项目参与者之间的协同决策是项目参与者协同管理的本质要求。目前,在建设过程中还存在工作效率低、超预算、超工期、安全事故时有发生等弊病,这些弊病的产生和建设项目参与者之间的缺乏合作、信任和有效的信息有密切关系。建设项目参与者协同管理的目的之一就是要协调业主、总承包商、分包商、供应商等建设项目参与者之间的决策,做到参与者的群(协同)决策,降低或消除上述弊病,提高项目建设绩效,协同决策还是避免建设项目参与者群决策的双边际效应、减少不确定性、提高决策理性的有效途径,是建设项目参与者协同管理的重要体现。本文使用熵理论中的熵权及相对熵,构建了建设项目参与者协同决策的多目标群决策模型。     

Micro-Political Strategies and Their Implications for Participative Decision Making

Drawing on both organizational behaviour and employee relations perspectives,the paper defines participation as `opportunity to influence decisions,' andconsiders the impact of the micro-political behaviour of organization membersin pursuit of their interests on the development of genuine participation.Three types of micro-political strategy are identified and their implicationsdiscussed: information control, flexibility, and stage-craft. The discussionis illustrated with findings from an international study of decision making,and brief comment is made on international cultural differences as acomplicating factor. It is suggested that the role of participation in enhancing the knowledge baseof the organization has been neglected. If genuine participation is to beinstituted, decision making will become more complex, requiring negotiation,not only of competing interests but also of what is to be accepted as`knowledge' in the organization. This in turn will place greater demands onthe intellectual skills and personal behaviour of participants.     

Organizational Theory and the Stages of Risk Communication

The evolution of risk communication has been described as a series of communication strategies. This article suggests that organizational theory provides another dimension to understanding the evolution of risk communication, and that risk communication can be seen as an organizational adaptation of chemical manufacturers to external pressure. Following the tragedy in Bhopal the chemical manufacturing sector's loss of legitimacy led to destabilization of its authority and to increased uncertainty in its external environment. Risk communication was one means to increase legitimacy, thereby decreasing uncertainty and potential impact on resources. However, although risk communication may evolve from crises of legitimacy, the concept of "isomorphism"--conformance to norms within a corporate sector--predicts this need not be the case.     

基于期权合约的供应链协同决策研究

本文在市场需求和价格不稳定的双重背景下,研究以风险规避为目的的供应商如何在供应链管理中运用期权合约实现利润最大化的途径问题。供应商通过在二级供应链中引入实物期权,在购买方需求不确定时可以将其引致的风险转移向供应方,而供应方的风险通过来自期权合约的额外收益在最大程度上被平衡。本文在分析考虑期权因素的决策模型中,研究市场需求以随机分布状态变化时,构建具有期权合约的最优利润最大化模型问题。数值算例验证了期权合约策略模型的可行性。本研究在一定程度上完善了供应链中期权合约的风险规避模型,为供应链企业风险管理的决策依据提供了有用的实践参考价值。

Eliciting and Classifying Concerns: A Methodological Critique

Two methodological steps in the study of peoples'concerns are elicitation and classification. Elicitation of concerns through analytical methods such as surveys can be supplemented with techniques that perform more diversively. We present two examples of how this can be accomplished: one in the expert community and one in the lay community. A classification taxonomy is a subjective choice of the researcher and it can only be evaluated against the stated objectives of the research. We present a classification schema that is explicitly oriented toward diagnosing the substantive needs of public discourses about risk decision making. To illustrate how concerns can be elicited in a social setting and how this classification tool can be applied, we report on a public participation exercise in New Jersey where citizens discussed the impacts of land application of sewage sludge at an experimental farm.     

基于后悔理论和DEMATEL的语言型多属性决策方法

针对目前语言型多属性决策方法大多基于期望效用理论且不考虑指标间影响关系的不足,提出了一种将后悔理论和决策试验与评价试验法相结合的语言型多属性决策方法。首先,依据后悔理论的思想,定义了语言后悔-欣喜函数,给出了方案感知效用值的计算公式;然后,利用决策试验与评价试验法分析指标间的影响关系,给出了基于语言DEMATEL的指标权重确定方法,再通过指标总容量最大优化模型给出了基于注水原理的指标权重确定方法,并在此基础上求解方案的综合感知效用值,据此对方案进行排序择优;最后,通过两个应用实例来验证所提方法的可行性和有效性。实例结果表明,由于该方法同时考虑了决策者的心理行为和指标间的影响关系,因此可使决策结果更加贴近现实且更为可靠。

On the influence of a biased decision support model on subjects’ behavior

Summary  The role of decision tools in managerial decisions can be crucial. Yet, there is very little research seeking to understand and measure the influence of planning models on decision-makers’ actual behavior or performance. We focus on investigating, in an experimental context, the influence of a decision model (time allocation model) on student subjects’ changes of mind and behavior. Of special interest is the effect of the articulated importance of criteria on subjects’ choices. Furthermore, we have also studied how the above mentioned model influences subjects’ actual (measurable) performance. The results are partly conflicting, though interesting: (1) the (biased) decision model did have a significant influence on the subjects’ choices, (2) when the model provided additional freedom to improve criterion values, the subjects’ choices were rather inconsistent with the articulated importance of criteria, (3) the interpretation is not clear, how plans influence actual behavior, and (4) the subjects did not fully recognize the bias of the model (when present). However, our findings very clearly demonstrate that model developers have a great responsibility. Biased models may guide managers to make dramatically erroneous decisions in bona fide. We hope that our findings generate additional research into this important, but under-researched topic.      

供应链上企业间协同谈判模型和原型研究

本文对面向业务流程集成的协同谈判进行研究。这种新的谈判模式的特点是通过约束传播与约束放松来调整谈判各方的利益,达到共赢。本文建立了协同谈判中多线程间的状态机谈判协议,提出了多线程间基于域传播算法的协同谈判策略和谈判模型,并通过研制原型系统进行实验,证实了本文所提出的协同谈判理论和方法的正确性。本文提出的协同谈判模型可以解决供应链上企业同时与多个上、下游企业的谈判问题,可通过改变业务流程,使供应链上的企业达到双赢,提高谈判的效率。     

二分群体决策中领导的影响

本文研究了具有领导的二分群体决策中领导对决策收益的影响,得到的一个重要结论是:如果二分群体决策过程应用了独立投票过程下的最优规则,则领导对其他决策者施加影响不可能提高群体决策收益。然而当群体未能应用最优决策规则时,领导的影响有可能发挥积极作用,这主要是由于此时领导的决策能力高于其他决策成员,而决策规则分配给领导的权重相对过低而导致的。     

公众社区参与意愿对危化品危害利益相关者感知的影响

面对危化品危害,政府及相关单位面临着日益严峻的既要保证公众知情,又要避免信息过度传播的难题,\"信任\"是导致这种沟通困境的重要因素。为解决危害信息有效沟通问题,从重构公众与政府之间信任关系的角度入手,以公众利益相关者感知衡量信任,探究公众社区参与意愿对利益相关者感知的影响关系,并将社区参与分为代表单向沟通的仪式性参与和代表双向沟通的实质性参与。研究结果表明:公众社区参与意愿有利于提升公众危化品危害利益相关者感知,特别是仪式性参与意愿的直接作用效果更为显著;实质性参与意愿和危害利益相关者感知的关系中,预决策过程起到完全中介的作用;危化品危害知识在社区参与意愿和利益相关者感知的影响关系中起到显著的正向调节作用,特别是在预决策过程与利益相关者感知的影响路径中。研究结论为构建公众和政府之间的信任关系,进而为缓解危化品危害信息沟通难题提供理论支撑和实践价值。     

An integrated approach to evaluation and planning of best practices

This paper develops a new integrated evaluation and planning approach for implementing a given set of best practices in a prioritized and phased manner. The best practices are implemented for achieving lower-level business unit objectives and higher-level strategic goals of an organization. With a multiattribute decision making algorithm under the balanced scorecard (BSC) framework, a new evaluation model is developed to effectively measure the relationship between lower-level objectives and higher-level goals, and to give each best practice a relative priority value. A new adjustment method is also developed to address potential biases in the self-assessment process at the business unit level. The evaluation model enables the prioritization and implementation planning of best practices in terms of their importance and achievability from the viewpoints of the organization, four BSC strategic perspectives, individual business units, and the overall implementation planning zone. An empirical study is conducted to demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of the integrated evaluation and planning approach.
