TE01.1 Sequential Valuation Networks & Asymmetric Decision Problems

We deal with representation and solution of asymmetric decision problems. We describe a new representation called sequential valuation networks - a hybrid of Covaliu & Oliver's sequential decision diagrams and Shenoy's valuation networks. We illustrate our technique by representing and solving Howard's used car buyer problem in complete detail.

TE01.2 The Link between Organizational Intelligence & Business Results

Since the publication of The Smart Organization, we have conducted extensive surveys linking our measure of organizational intelligence to performance. The result: smart organizations perform better, particularly in the areas of profitable growth. This demonstrates that the principles of the smart organization correlate with desirable actual business results.
