Abstract
Starting from the general domain of the present special issue (entitled: “Predictive and prescriptive analytics for service reorganization in times of transition”) and the primary motivations for its launch, the editorial discusses the collection of papers accepted for publication. These articles showcase the use of a wide range of quantitative methodologies across multiple application fields, highlighting the relevance of analytics to decision-making theory and practice. Moreover, they underscore the potential for interdisciplinary approaches in tackling open and emerging challenges within evolving goods and service network ecosystems.
期刊介绍:
Studies directed toward the more effective utilization of existing resources, e.g. mathematical programming models of health care delivery systems with relevance to more effective program design; systems analysis of fire outbreaks and its relevance to the location of fire stations; statistical analysis of the efficiency of a developing country economy or industry.
Studies relating to the interaction of various segments of society and technology, e.g. the effects of government health policies on the utilization and design of hospital facilities; the relationship between housing density and the demands on public transportation or other service facilities: patterns and implications of urban development and air or water pollution.
Studies devoted to the anticipations of and response to future needs for social, health and other human services, e.g. the relationship between industrial growth and the development of educational resources in affected areas; investigation of future demands for material and child health resources in a developing country; design of effective recycling in an urban setting.
