The Interactive Management of Human Resources in Uncertainty: (11 Applied Optimization)

This work deals fundamentally with two of the most important aspects of personnel management, namely selection and job mobility. These topics are treated using late-1990s techniques created from all-purpose logic for handling uncertainty. Personnel recruitment is covered from the angle of selection techniques for improved efficiency for the company and greater satisfaction and self-realization for the employee. When considering workplaces, the suitability of each person and their mobility are studied under the best economic conditions. An alternative type of mathematics is used within this subject-matter is used for the development of models and algorithms. Complex subjects such as uncertainty are explained pedagogically starting from a low level and, when necessary, recourse has been made to reminders of basic aspects to enable a wide readership to profit from this work. This volume should be of interest to those whose work involves personnel management, production operation and manufacturing management, labour economics, industrial organization, operations research and management sciences.
