Cylindrical neutrosophic single-valued number and its application in networking problem, multi-criterion group decision-making problem and graph theory
In this study, the authors envisage the neutrosophic number from various distinct rational perspectives and viewpoints to give it a look of a conundrum. They focused and analysed neutrosophic fuzzy numbers when indeterminacy and falsity functions are dependent on each other, which serves an indispensable role for the uncertainty concept. Additionally, the idea of cylindrical neutrosophic single-valued number is focused here, when the indeterminacy and falsity functions are dependent to each other using an influx of different logical and innovative graphical representation. They also developed the score and accuracy function for this particular cylindrical neutrosophic single-valued number and analysed some real-life problems like networking critical path model problem and minimal spanning tree problem of operation research field when the numbers are in cylindrical neutrosophic ambiance. They also introduced a multi-criterion group decision-making problem in this cylindrical neutrosophic domain. This noble thought will help us to solve a plethora of daily life problems in the neutrosophic arena.

Multiple Attribute Decision Making
A compilation of modern decision-making techniques, this reference focuses on the fuzzy set approach to multiple attribute decision making (MADM). Drawing on their extensive experience, the authors present methods and real-life applications of MADM techniques that can be used in decision analysis. The methods section of the text explains the theory of each method and includes numerical examples that can be calculated without a computer, providing a complete understanding of the procedures. The application section explores how methods such as DEMATEL, TOPSIS, and VIKOR can be used to solve real-world MADM problems.

Rational decisions
It is widely held that Bayesian decision theory is the final word on how a rational person should make decisions. However, Leonard Savage--the inventor of Bayesian decision theory--argued that it would be ridiculous to use his theory outside the kind of small world in which it is always possible to \"look before you leap.\" If taken seriously, this view makes Bayesian decision theory inappropriate for the large worlds of scientific discovery and macroeconomic enterprise. When is it correct to use Bayesian decision theory--and when does it need to be modified? Using a minimum of mathematics, Rational Decisions clearly explains the foundations of Bayesian decision theory and shows why Savage restricted the theory's application to small worlds.

Investing in Financial Research
Every day, people around the world make financial decisions. They choose to invest in a stock, sell their holdings in a mutual fund or buy a condominium. These decisions are complex and financially tricky-even for financial professionals. But the literature available on financial research is dated and narrowly focused without any real practical application. Until now there's been a gap in the literature: a book that shows you how to conduct a step by step comprehensive financial investigation that ends in a decision.
This book gives you that how.
Investing In Financial Research is a guidebook for conducting financial investigations and lays out Cheryl Strauss Einhorn's AREA Method-a research and decision-making system that uniquely controls for bias, focuses on the incentives of others and expands knowledge while improving judgement-and applies it to investigating financial situations. AREA is applicable to all sorts of financial sleuthing, whether for investment analysis or investigative journalism. It allows you to be the expert in your own life.
The AREA Method provides you with:
-Defined tasks that guide and focus your research on your vision of success;
-A structure that isolates your sources, giving you insight into their perspectives, biases and incentives;
-Investigative resources, tips and techniques to upgrade your research and analysis beyond document-based sources;
-Exercises to foster creativity and originality in your thinking;
-A sequence and framework that brings your disparate pieces of research together to build your confidence and conviction about your financial decision.

Multiple-criteria decision analysis process by using prospect decision theory in interval-valued neutrosophic environment
This study intends to present an innovative study for ranking the alternatives in multiple-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) problems under the interval-valued neutrosophic soft set (IVNSS) environment. In this study, to illustrate the notion of objective and subjective weight, the prospect decision theory (PDT) performs an imperative role in determining decision-making problems. PDT predicts human behaviour in terms of gains and losses and considers the expected utility relation to a reference point rather than complete outcomes. In the analysis of merged criteria weight and the prospect decision-making matrix, the authors get a new dimension level for ranking the array of alternatives. This manuscript provides an improved score function (SF) to convert the interval-valued membership grades of truth, indeterminacy and falsity into a mathematical and computational value. The advantage of this method is that it merges the objective and subjective weight during the proposed method. They propose an algorithm based on the SF to determine MCDA problems with IVNSSs. They illustrate a case study and provide various comparative analyses to show its significance over existing studies.

Leading with strategic thinking : four ways effective leaders gain insight, drive change, and get results
Be a more effective leader with strategic thinking
Leading with Strategic Thinking reveals what effective leaders do differently. Eschewing the one-size-fits-all leadership model, this helpful guide outlines four general leadership types and demonstrates how each type achieves success – whether through personal vision, structured process, collaboration, or by empowering others. The authors identify the actions and skills that distinguish strategic leadership, drawn from interviews and focus groups with over three hundred leaders from around the world. Examples and case studies illustrate these concepts in action, and the provided reference materials steer readers toward more advanced information on this important topic.
The disruptive forces of technology and globalization raise new challenges for leaders. This book is a manual that will help executives and aspiring leaders harness these forces and address the two central questions of strategic leadership:
* How do the best leaders develop their strategy?
* How do effective leaders drive strategic change?
Becoming a strategic leader isn't about mimicking an icon. The most effective leaders seize opportunity in a way that consciously integrates environmental requirements, stakeholder expectations, and personal ability. Leading with Strategic Thinking shows what these leaders do, and gives anyone the tools to be a more strategic leader.

The data collection toolkit
\"This book provides quick and easy tips for data collection within the classroom. Behavioral Quik-Graphs provides quick and easy tips for data collection within the classroom. Special educators, administrators, and other paraprofessionals often view data collection as time-consuming and complex, but collecting data on behaviors, academic abilities, and Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) is a crucial procedure that shows the progress of individual students. A variety of reproducible forms and tools are available for immediate use in recording and analyzing classroom data. Data collection is a critical piece of an educator's job (not just in special education) and it can be very intimidating to a teacher. This accessible book will make data collection easy with realistic vignettes, diagrams and sample forms, and explanations written in clear language.\" -- Provided by publisher.
