This seminar series was created to foster collaboration, strengthen BOR community, raise interest for BOR topics, increase the visibility of BOR, and fast delivery of new ideas.
The seminars are scheduled for 40 min. The generic timetable suggests a brief introduction (5 min), a contribution (20 min), and a discussion (15 min). However, there is flexibility concerning the length of the contributions. In addition, there is an opportunity for interested in staying in the room to continue discussions.
The seminar takes place during “Brownbag-time for Europeans”
12 PM to 12.40 PM (UK GMT)
1 PM; to 1.40 PM (CET, Berlin)
It is scheduled bi-monthly every 2nd Thursday every second month under consideration of other workshops, conferences, etc. The next dates are the following:
December 14th 2023, February 8th 2024, April 11th 2024, June 13th 2024
Different types of contributions are possible: Conference talks – work in progress, Mini-panel discussions with pre-assigned panelists, Open discussion with initial input of one contributor, Editors of journals discussing publishing BOR papers, Find collaborator – e.g., Ph.D. students present their work and look for a collaborator they could benefit from
Please reserve your BORB2S2 presentation date! Only an abstract of the talk is needed. Topics can cover any facets of BOR. Self-promotions are highly welcome. You can also suggest other speakers. Send all enquiries to Johannes Siebert (Johannes.Siebert (at) mci.edu)

BORBS XIV: Behavioural Operations and Behavioural Operational Research: Similarities and Differences
Martin Kunc, Professor of Management Science, Southampton Business School, University of Southampton
Abstract
Gino and Pisano (2007) suggest “behavioural operations is the study of attributes of human behaviour and cognition that impact the design, management, and improvement of operating systems, and the study of the interaction between such attributes and operating systems and processes.” On the other hand, “Behavioural operational research is defined as the study of behavioural aspects related to the use of operational research methods in modelling, problem solving and decision support.” (Hämäläinen, Luoma, and Saarinen, 2013). These two emergent streams in their respective fields have many aspects in common but they also focus on different issues using dissimilar approaches. This presentation will discuss them.
Why should you join?
To learn more about the differences and similarities between behavioural OR and Operations.

BORBS XIII: Decision making with AI
Michael Leyer, University of Marburg/Queensland University of Technology
Abstract
AI in its various forms has emerged as a new actor that often is a black box in giving recommendations and making decisions. When working together with an instantiation of AI, we as humans are influenced in various ways: The way how we perceive the “coworker” is different to humans, our expectations/perceptions are different and change, we will change our decisions and so on. In the talk, I will provide an overview on the dimensions and developments as well as relevant theories when interaction with AI in making decisions.
Why should you join?
OR and information systems are exciting to combine and AI applications will change also our work

BORBS XII: Cognitive operations: Models that open the black box and predict our decisions
Konstantinos Katsikopoulos, Professor of Behavioural Science, Director of Research, University of Southampton Business School
Abstract
How do people make decisions under risk and uncertainty in operational settings? How to open the black box by specifying the cognitive processes that lead to these decisions? Drawing on economics, psychology and artificial intelligence, I provide an innovative perspective on behavioural operations. I show how to build optimization as well as heuristic models for describing human behaviour and how to compare such models on various dimensions such as predictive power and transparency, as well as discussing interventions for improving human behaviour.
Why should you join?
This talk frames a novel contribution for the psychology of judgment and decision making to behavioural operations. It will be particularly valuable to academics and practitioners who seek to select a modelling approach that suits the operational decision at hand.
