Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Financial markets and business environments are complex, fast-evolving systems with high levels of uncertainty, rendering most traditional decision-making frameworks unable to address these uncertainties and complexities. This Special Issue aims to highlight the most recent advances in decision models in economics and business management, focusing on innovative approaches to improve decision-making processes. Advanced models that integrate risk management, optimization techniques, stochastic processes, and simulation methods are increasingly important due to the growing volatility and interconnectedness of global markets. This Special Issue seeks to publish the latest research offering theoretical advances, empirical analysis, or practical applications in decision theory, game theory, computational intelligence, and simulation, with a focus on their application to financial markets, corporate strategy, and operational management, among others. It also welcomes interdisciplinary approaches that provide new insights into econophysics, information theory, data science, and simheuristics. Combining methodologies and perspectives from various schools of thought will allow for a comprehensive view of both the current state and future prospects of decision models in economics and business management, leading to a deeper understanding and more effective decision-making strategies.
