Specialists in marketing, operations, management, and other aspects of business look at strategic decision making from perspectives of organizational and strategic decisions, sales and financial analytics, and production and operations analytics. Among the topics are implications and philosophical requirements of a comprehensive dialectical inquiry system, the impact of chasing technology on consumer purchase behavior, practical machine learning in financial trend prediction, ordering policy in a two-warehouse environment for deteriorating items under inflationary conditions, and failure analysis in precision manufacturing.
