Abstract

This chapter introduces the motivations of executive-decision synthesis and narrates our systematic prescriptive paradigm for their robust design.

Synthesis of robust executive decisions draws from these three fields and their sociotechnical methods as illustrated by the Figure below. Our domain of interest is executive management decisions in organizations. Our prescriptive paradigm is grounded on The Sciences of the Artificial.

I must confess that I was grievously guilty of these biases. As an engineer, I did not think that working on PC’s was “serious engineering” or “high-tech enough” and, to my regret, avoided appointments in that business unit. (v tang).
