Decision Sciences for COVID-19: Learning Through Case Studies

by Said Ali Hassan (Editor), Ali Wagdy Mohamed (Editor), Khalid Abdulaziz Alnowibet (Editor)

Overview

This book presents best practices involving applications of decision sciences, business tactics and behavioral sciences for COVID-19. Addressing concrete problems in these vital fields, it focuses on theoretical and methodological investigations of managerial decisions that drive production and service enterprises’ productivity and success. Moreover, it presents optimization techniques and tools that can also be adopted for other applications in various research areas after a thorough analysis of the specific problem.

 The book is intended for researchers and practitioners seeking optimum solutions to real-life problems in various application areas concerning COVID-19, helping them make scientifically founded decisions.
