This book presents recent research in decision making under uncertainty, in particular reinforcement learning and learning with expert advice. The core elements of decision theory, Markov decision processes and reinforcement learning have not been previously collected in a concise volume. Our aim with this book was to provide a solid theoretical foundation with elementary proofs of the most important theorems in the field, all collected in one place, and not typically found in introductory textbooks.  This book is addressed to graduate students that are interested in statistical decision making under uncertainty and the foundations of reinforcement learning.  

This book presents an extension of fuzzy set theory allowing for multi-polar information, discussing its impact on the theoretical and practical development of multi-criteria decision making. It reports on set of hybrid models developed by the authors, and show how they can be adapted, case by case, to the lack of certainty under a variety of criteria. Among them, hybrid models combining m-polar fuzzy sets with rough, soft and 2-tuple linguistic sets, and m-polar hesitant fuzzy sets and hesitant m-polar fuzzy are presented, together with some significant applications. In turn, outranking decision-making techniques such as m-polar fuzzy ELECTRE I, II, III and IV methods, as well as m-polar fuzzy PROMETHEE I and II methods, are developed. The efficiency of these decision-making procedures, as well as other possible extensions studied by the authors, is shown in some real-world applications. Overall, this book offers a guide on methodologies to deal with the multi-polarity and fuzziness of the real-world problems, simultaneously. By including algorithms and computer programming codes, it provides a practice-oriented reference guide to both researchers and professionals working at the interface between computational intelligence and decision making.

Mehr als ein Jahrhundert lang war das Hotel aus dem gesellschaftlichen Leben nicht wegzudenken. Oft stand es an den schönsten Orten, verhieß Luxus und Unbeschwertheit. Es bot eine Kulisse für den großen Auftritt - und für Ereignisse der Weltgeschichte. Für Reisende spielte es eine Hauptrolle. Auf Kunst, Literatur und Film hat das Leben im Hotel immer wieder inspirierend gewirkt. Als Gegenentwurf zur Alltäglichkeit des ständigen Wohnsitzes fasziniert es bis heute.In jüngster Zeit aber ist es in Bedrängnis geraten. Nicht nur die Wellen der Covid-19-Pandemie mit ihren Lockdowns haben der Hotellerie zugesetzt, sondern auch der wachsende Erfolg von Buchungsportalen für die Vermietung von Privatunterkünften.Doch das Hotel ist weit mehr als nur ein Haus zum Übernachten. Erst seine Gäste machen es zu dem, was es ist: Drehscheibe der Gesellschaft, Sehnsuchts- und Zufluchtsort. Im Schutz seiner Halböffentlichkeit gedeihen weiterhin politische und private Dramen. Allein deshalb bleibt es, wie Marion Löhndorf überzeugend und unterhaltsam argumentiert, ganz einfach unverzichtbar.

Hi, ich bin Emmi und 13 Jahre alt.Hast du schon mal jemanden getroffen und sofort gewusst: Das geht nicht gut mit uns beiden!? So war es bei mir und Neva. Die habe ich dieses Jahr in den Osterferien in Kroatien kennengelernt. Sie war mega eingebildet!Aber dann sind wir beide, meine Geschwister und die zwei Nachbarsjungs mitten in einem Abenteuer gelandet. Wir deckten einen Umweltskandal auf und gaben unser Bestes, um unsere Urlaubsinsel zu retten.Ich gebe zu, es lief nicht alles glatt. Ein paar Aufgaben, was den Klimaschutz angeht, haben wir dir noch übrig gelassen. Zusammen macht es sowieso am meisten Spaß, die Welt zu verändern, oder?

Dieses Buch zeigt die Bedeutung des Kulturwandels bei der Digitalisierung von Arbeitsprozessen, der Gestaltung neuer Arbeitsumgebungen und der Realisierung innovativer Geschäftsmodelle. Dieser Faktor wird zumeist in der Literatur zwar immer wieder betont und als wichtig erachtet, es fehlen jedoch konkrete Vorgehensschritte und die Integration in ein integriertes Kulturkonzept der Unternehmen. Gerade die bewusste Gestaltung der hybrider Unternehmenskultur ermöglicht es, die Potentiale der Leistungssteigerung gemeinsam mit der Zufriedenheit und Produktivität der Mitarbeiter zu vereinbaren. In dieser überarbeiteten und erweiterten 2. Auflage werden konkrete Konzepte vorgestellt, wie die digitale Transformation methodisch mit der veränderten Unternehmenskultur umgesetzt werden kann. Dieses praxeologisch orientierte Buch bietet Unternehmen und Beratern bewährte Modelle, Konzepte und Vorgehensweisen, damit die digitale Transformation nachhaltig gelingen kann.

In diesem Buch wird der Übergang aus einer Tätigkeit als gewerblich-technische Fachkraft in die hauptamtliche Ausbildungsfunktion in einer betrieblichen Ausbildungswerkstatt untersucht. In einem fallrekonstruktiven Forschungsansatz wird das Erleben und Bewältigen von typischen Herausforderungen während und infolge dieses Übergangs nachgezeichnet. Hierzu wurden hauptamtliche Ausbilder*innen in den industriellen Metall- und Elektroberufen zu ihren Übergangserfahrungen befragt. Ergebnis ist eine empirisch fundierte Beschreibung von fünf typischen Entwicklungsaufgaben, mit denen Ausbilder*innen während und infolge des Übergangs konfrontiert werden und die sie in Abhängigkeit von subjektiven Ressourcen und Orientierungen unterschiedlich deuten und bearbeiten. Die Fallrekonstruktion führt zu vier Typen von Bewältigungsstrategien, die sich hinsichtlich ihres Umgangs mit Erfahrungswissen, ihrer pädagogischen Überzeugungen sowie ihres Reflexionswissens unterscheiden. Darauf aufbauend wird mit Hilfe des Sozialweltkonzeptes die Frage nach der Rolle und Funktion einer übergeordneten kollegialen Bezugsgemeinschaft als potentielle Wissens- und Kompetenzgrundlage der Akteure der beruflich-betrieblichen Bildung vor dem Hintergrund der strukturellen Rahmenbedingungen und Systemspezifika diskutiert.

Große Sichtbarkeit bringt große Verantwortung mit sich. Top-Management, Vorstand und andere Führungskräfte müssen heute in den Medien und in den sozialen Netzwerken präsent sein.
