Decision, Risk, and Values: The Philosophy of Churchman and Ackoff | Ether Wave Propaganda. Posted by Will Thomas in Operations Research. Tags: Alan Richardson, Edgar Singer, Russell Ackoff, West Churchman, William James trackback A couple of months ago, I suggested a possible conflict of interest between STS and the history of science. Effectively, the aspirations of STS to contemporary relevance is at least partially dependent on potential contributions arising from new research results. For these results to have impetus, conclusions should be novel. Historians of science usually see their own opportunities in confirming STS results by mining examples from history, which, as illustrative examples, are treated as effectively “lost” to the present. However, novelty can be augmented by conveniently forgetting the history of the ideas underlying the conclusions on offer. Unfortunately, historians’ bookkeeping methodologies are woefully inadequate to this task.

COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway) es una Comisión voluntaria constituida por representantes de cinco organizaciones del sector privado en EEUU, para proporcionar liderazgo intelectual frente a tres temas interrelacionados: la gestión del riesgo empresarial (ERM), el control interno, y la disuasión del fraude.

Operations Research, Operational Research - IFORS. Michael Trick’s Operations Research Blog : Thoughts on the world of operations research. As a blogger, I have been a failure in the last six months. I barely have enough time to tweet, let alone sit down for these extensively researched, tightly edited, and deeply insightful missives that characterize my blog. I tell you, 1005 words on finding love through optimization doesn’t just happen! I have my excuses, of course. As the fabulous PHD Comics points out, most of us academics seem somewhat overbooked, despite the freedom to set much of our schedule. I am not alone in being congenitally unable to turn down “opportunities” when they come by. All this is in addition to my day job that includes a more-than-healthy dose of academic administration. And then something new comes along.
Our commitment is to offer the same program as our full-time residential MBA and our part-time in-Pittsburgh MBA. We started this program last September with 29 students, and so far it has gone great. I have just finished my own course in this program. WORMS.
