Behavioral Operation Research Brown Bag Seminar Series (BORB2S2)

This seminar series was created to foster collaboration, strengthen BOR community, raise interest for BOR topics, increase the visibility of BOR, and fast delivery of new ideas.

The seminars are scheduled for 40 min. The generic timetable suggests a brief introduction (5 min), a contribution (20 min), and a discussion (15 min). However, there is flexibility concerning the length of the contributions. In addition, there is an opportunity for interested in staying in the room to continue discussions.

The seminar takes place during “Brownbag-time for Europeans”

    Abstract

    Gino and Pisano (2007) suggest “behavioural operations is the study of attributes of human behaviour and cognition that impact the design, management, and improvement of operating systems, and the study of the interaction between such attributes and operating systems and processes.” On the other hand, “Behavioural operational research is defined as the study of behavioural aspects related to the use of operational research methods in modelling, problem solving and decision support.” (Hämäläinen, Luoma, and Saarinen, 2013). These two emergent streams in their respective fields have many aspects in common but they also focus on different issues using dissimilar approaches. This presentation will discuss them.

    Why should you join?

    To learn more about the differences and similarities between behavioural OR and Operations.

    Abstract

    AI in its various forms has emerged as a new actor that often is a black box in giving recommendations and making decisions. When working together with an instantiation of AI, we as humans are influenced in various ways: The way how we perceive the “coworker” is different to humans, our expectations/perceptions are different and change, we will change our decisions and so on. In the talk, I will provide an overview on the dimensions and developments as well as relevant theories when interaction with AI in making decisions.

    Why should you join?

    OR and information systems are exciting to combine and AI applications will change also our work
