Models, Methods and Decision Support for Management Essays in Honor of Paul Stähly

This title represents an ambitious undertaking, namely a broad view on the nature of intelligent decision making, which is characterized by the use of models and methods in the framework of decision support for management. With this title we want to reflect the scope of our field, but, at the same t...
