Reseña del libro "optimization methods for a stakeholder society (en Inglés)"
for both public and private managers, the book optimization methods for a stakeholder society is todays key to answer the problem of a sustainable development world. this world has to take into account the meaning of all stakeholders involved and has to reconcile a number of objectives, such as economic growth, employment and preservation of the ecosystem. traditional methods, such as cost-benefit, are outmoded as they translate all these objectives into monetary costs, a materialistic approach. on the contrary, objectives have rather to stick to their own units, eventually indicators. the author is in favor of the use of nonlinear methods in multi-objective optimization. therefore, several nonlinear approaches are proposed, illustrated with many applications from different fields such as: privatization in the public sector, regional versus national economic policy in a country, location of a seaport, arms procurement, industrialization of a developing country, updating or replacement of old industry, pre- and post-evaluation of projects, performance management, marketing and distribution.
