“…SI has already been suggested to be a competence essential in different realms ranging from everyday life [37] to leadership [36,170], engineering [171], knowledgemanagement [172], and to participatory decision making (Siitonen and Hämäläinen 2004). Originally, SI was described as a personal skill, but it has also been suggested to be applicable to teams and organizations as well (Törmänen et al, 2020).…”

“…• Setting up the project. At the outset of the design, the issue of project leadership (Hämäläinen et al 2020) needs to be considered. Assigning the leadership role to a designated individual with sufficient knowledge and authority can help the group keep the big picture in mind while ensuring that the process is impartial and that fair documentation is produced.…”

“…Often, there is also a process facilitator (see, e.g., Phillips 1993, Franco andMontibeller 2010). A group decision process creates a temporary organization and assigning a leader is often useful (Hämäläinen et al 2020). Commonly, this role is assumed by or explicitly granted to the facilitator.…”

Important decisions are often taken by groups of decision-makers who need to choose among several alternatives in view of multiple objectives, in recognition of the interests of stakeholders. Such decision problems can be supported with the methods and processes of multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) which foster collaboration, lend structure to the decision process, and help in managing problem complexity. In this chapter, we examine rationales for using MCDA methods in group decision processes, outline typical phases of these processes, summarize widely used MCDA methods and discuss some of their recent methodological extensions. We also provide guidelines for the design and implementation of MCDA-assisted group decision processes, based on an examination of behavioral factors and a structured review of selected case studies. We conclude with an outlook for the future in light of recent developments and trends.

The intellectual endeavours of OR and systems scholars: The dynamic evolution of intellectual interactions

In conducting their research, academics engage in intellectual work. To illustrate the dynamic evolution of scholars collaborating over time, the development and use of critical systems heuristics (CSH) is taken as an example; historically, CSH consists of an intergenerational chain involving Churchman, Ulrich and Midgley, each a highly productive intellectual worker. Twenty‐four published papers are selected to provide qualitative empirical data. The data was then examined using a theoretical model developed by the sociologist Randall Collins. The Collins model is developed from an analysis of a wide variety of intellectual endeavours and depicts the rules of the dynamics of intellectual competition between academics. The purpose of this paper is to develop a simple method whereby systems and OR academics can evaluate past research strategies and actions, and inform future research decisions, big or small that involve qualitative (soft) or quantitative (hard) OR and systems thinking.
