Special Issue: Risk Management

Guest Editors: Simon French, Alec Morton, Ortwin Renn

 

  • Deadline for submission: September 30, 2012

Motivation

Most decision making involves dealing with uncertain consequences and managing these uncertainties. Thus decision process and risk management are intimately interconnected, although their literatures are based in distinct communities. The purpose of this special issue of the EURO Journal of Decision Processes (EDJP) is to explore that relationship and draw together different disciplinary perspectives on risk management and decision. EJDP–which has been recently established by the Association of European Operational Research Societies (EURO)–publishes papers that contribute to the understanding and appropriate use of operational research in supporting different phases of decision making processes. More information on EJDP is at http://www.springer.com/40070

Contents

The editors seek state of the art reviews and research that develop our understanding of risk management and decision processes. We invite submissions covering, for example:

  • state-of-the-art reviews of methods and applications;
  • analysis of how risk and uncertainties are handled or managed in decision making;
  • theoretical underpinnings of risk and methodological advances in risk analysis for decision making;
  • modeling of uncertainties, risks, preferences, multiple criteria, constraints, and interdependencies for the purpose of improving the quality of decision making;
  • development and evaluation of software and tools for risk management and decision processes;
  • embedding of analytical approaches in organizational decision making and risk management processes;
  • reflective reports of innovative applications and high-impact case studies on the interface between risk and decision making
