English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 525 Pages | ISBN : 3031683714 | 93 MB
In an era marked by escalating energy demands and imperatives of environmental stewardship, this compendium serves as a comprehensive exploration of the multifaceted dimensions shaping contemporary energy development, with a focal lens on the symbiotic relationship between energy, information, and transportation systems. The canvas of 2023’s energy evolution is painted against the backdrop of heightened consciousness surrounding climate change and environmental degradation. This epoch witnesses an unyielding momentum toward sustainability, catalyzed by a profound shift in energy-sourcing paradigms. Renewable energy sources-solar, wind, hydro, and beyond-attain unprecedented prominence, not merely as alternative energy options but as linchpins of a redefined energy matrix, fostered by advancements in technology, economics, and scalability. At the nexus of this transformative energy landscape lies the realm of Energy Informatics-a domain where information technologies converge with energy systems. Smart grids, IoT-enabled devices, data analytics, and artificial intelligence orchestrate a symphony of efficiency and optimization, revolutionizing energy management, demand-response dynamics, and grid resilience. The fusion of information technology and energy infrastructures stands poised to usher in an era of unprecedented interconnectivity and adaptability. Transportation, an indispensable facet of the energy ecosystem, undergoes a metamorphosis in 2023. Electrification, hydrogen-powered vehicles, and advancements in sustainable fuels reimagine mobility paradigms, heralding a transition toward greener, more efficient transportation systems. The synergy between energy and transportation, facilitated by data-driven insights and technological innovations, propels the convergence of these domains toward a more sustainable future. Moreover, the global socio-political landscape assumes paramount significance in shaping the contours of energy dynamics. Geopolitical considerations, international collaborations, and policy frameworks delineate the trajectory of energy infrastructure investments, trade patterns, and the realization of sustainable energy transitions on a global scale. Yet, within the narrative of progress, challenges persist. Legacy infrastructures, regulatory complexities, socio-economic disparities, and the imperative of inclusive transitions underscore the complexities inherent in reshaping the energy and transportation landscapes.

All of us have important decisions to make decisions that radically alter our lives. Yet, without a sound process in place for making key decisions, we are likely to question whether or not our final decision was a good decision. More to the point, we will never feel fully confident that our decision was what God truly desired for us. What’s Your Decision? presents a time-tested, trustworthy approach to decision making. Throughout this fast-moving and highly practical audiobook, the authors present an Ignatian toolkit for making sound choices, providing answers to many common questions. Ultimately, What’s Your Decision? helps us understand that a God decision always precedes a good decision. When we invite God, who cares deeply about what we do into the decision-making process, we find the freedom to make the best choice.

Author and Narrator: Neale Donald Walsch
"Deep inside you know Who You Truly Are. We all do. It’s not a question of discovering it, it’s a question of claiming it. Being it. And that’s actually easier done than said. We’re all just one decision away from The Essential Path. It’s a path that could change a world that deeply yearns for a new direction."-Neale Donald Walsch, author, The Essential Path
Our modern era is plagued by increasing alienation-we are seeing an "us against them" world. Everywhere we turn, we find ourselves divided from each other as never before across political, economic, social, and spiritual lines. As humanity is being torn apart right before our eyes-separating many of us from our friends and even our loved ones, from our hopes and dreams, from the natural world, and from so much that gives meaning and value to our lives-people are blaming everyone and everything around them for the collective problems that we have created ourselves. We are turning against each other, rather than to each other, just when we need each other the most.

Author: Helga Drummond | Narrator: Karen Cass
An invaluable guide to arrive at better business decisions. We make decisions, and these decisions make us and our organisations. And in theory, decision-making should be easy: a problem is identified, the decision-makers generate solutions, and choose the optimal one-and powerful mathematical tools are available to facilitate the task. Yet if it is all so simple why do organisations, both private and public sector, keep making mistakes-the results of which are borne by shareholders, employees, taxpayers, and ultimately society at large?
This guide to decision making, by leading decision science academic Helga Drummond, aims to improve decision-making in organisations. It explores how and why decisions go awry in the first place-and offers practical advice on what decision-makers can do to counter the psychological, social, and other forces that can undermine individual judgment and pull organisations off course. Full of examples of good and bad decision-making from around the world, it will make listeners think more clearly about decisions big and small.

How do executives make decisions? Are their decisions conscious or unconscious? Can they explain each decision they make? What tools can they use to improve their decision-making process? These are some of the questions this book addresses.
During the past 35 years, as an entrepreneur and senior executive of several medium-sized Canadian high-tech businesses, the author noticed that his decision-making processes were often based either on experience or on advice received from colleagues. Seldom were the decisions based on formal or informal academic-based methods.
There is no substitute for years of experience in any human endeavor. However, tapping into some of the methods and lessons learned from personal experience can result in useful principles for others to follow. These principles are very useful, especially for entrepreneurs interested in building their businesses or executives looking for some additional help in acquiring a better decision-making mousetrap.

Free Download Uncertainty in Strategic Decision Making: Analysis, Categorization, Causation and Resolution by Richard J. Arend
English | January 4, 2024 | ISBN: 3031485521 | 479 pages | MOBI | 5.01 Mb
Knight (1921) defines uncertainty as an informational market failure that, while being detrimental to most existing businesses, presents possible profitable opportunities for others. This book builds upon that classic work by providing an analysis of the alternative approaches to strategic decision-making under such uncertainty. It covers what uncertainty is, why it is important, and what connections it has to business and related fields, culminating in a new and comprehensive typology and a valuable guide for how to appropriately address various types of uncertainties, even under AI. It clarifies the current terminological and categorical confusion about ‘unknowns’ while complementing the mathematical, probability-based approaches that treat uncertainty as ‘knowable’ (i.e., as risk). It corrects the mistaken approaches that treat ‘unknowables’ as ‘shapeable’ or ‘discoverable’. This book widens the perspective for viewing uncertainty, in terms of its impacts across humanity, byoffering a shrewder understanding of what roles uncertainties play in human activity. It will appeal to academics across business, economics, philosophy, and other disciplines looking for approaches to apply, test, and hone for dealing with decision-making under uncertainty.
