Evaluating human, social, cultural and behavioral (HSCB) models for operational usePreface This book is concerned with how decisions are made within a specific culture and across different cultures. The primary focus of the Cross Cultural Decision Making field is specifically on the intersections between psychosocial theory provided from the social sciences and methods of computational modeling provided from computer science and mathematics. While the majority of research challenges that arise out of such an intersection fall quite reasonably under the rubric of human factors, although these topics are broad in nature, this book is designed to focus on crucial questions regarding data acquisition as well as reconciliation of mathematical and psychosocial modeling methodologies. The utility of this area of research is to aid the design of products and services which are utilized across the globe in the variety of cultures and aid in increasing the effectiveness of cross-cultural group collaboration. Each of the chapters of the book were either reviewed by the members of Editorial Board or germinated by them. This book would of special value to researchers and practitioners in involved in the design of products and services which are marketed and utilized in a variety of different countries--Provided by publisher.Advances in human factors and ergonomics series ;3.Decision makingCross-cultural studiesDecision makingMathematical modelsElectronic books.Decision makingDecision makingMathematical models.153.83Schmorrow Dylan1967-944956Nicholson Denise1967-944957FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910463361603321Advances in cross-cultural decision making2133356UNINA02420nam 22004451 450 991079483920332120200506135228.00-7556-1923-40-85772-604-810.5040/9780755619238(CKB)4340000000188876(MiAaPQ)EBC4890601(OCoLC)1001338217(UtOrBLW)bpp09265369(EXLCZ)99434000000018887620200603d2015 uy 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierThe crisis of South African foreign policy diplomacy, leadership and the role of the African National Congress /by Matthew GrahamFirst edition.London :I.B. Tauris,2015.1 online resource (306 pages)1-78076-635-1 Includes bibliographical references and index."The emergence of a 'new' democratic South Africa under Nelson Mandela was regarded as a high watermark for international ideals of human rights and democracy. Much was expected of the ANC in power, particularly that it would be able to translate its ideals into a coherent foreign policy for the African continent. Yet its foreign policy since 1994 has been mired in accusations of incoherence, contradiction and failure. Here, based on extensive archival research and interviews, Matthew Graham offers new ways of interpreting South Africa's foreign policy by investigating the continuities and discontinuities of the ANC's international relations - from exile to political power. Charting the political intrigues during the country's transition from apartheid, and the subsequent influences on Presidents Mandela and Mbeki, The Crisis of South African Foreign Policy makes a vital contribution to our understanding of why post-apartheid South Africa has failed to lead Africa on the world stage."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Development studiesBICSouth AfricaForeign relations1994-South AfricaPolitics and government1994-Development studies.327.68Graham Matthew(Lecturer),1569320UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910794839203321The crisis of South African foreign policy3842134UNINA00841nam0-22002891i-450 99000490704040332120251222110436.0000490704FED01000490704(Aleph)000490704FED0119990530g19539999km-y0itay50------bafreFRy-------001yyTextes Choisisde Ambroise Pareprèsentès et commentés par Louis Delaruelle & Marcel SendrailParisSocièté Les Belles Lettres1953292 p.20 cmParé,Ambroise387604Delaruelle,LouisSendrail,MarcelITUNINARICAUNIMARCBK990004907040403321SX PA 2Fil.
