Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Decision-making processes for Economics and Business in the 21st century are conditioned by two important factors: on the one hand, because of the great importance of environmental, sustainability, and social responsibility issues and, on the other hand, because of the uncertain evolution of macroeconomic and business.
Based on this reality, traditional decision-making models are no longer valid in some cases.
Firstly, it is necessary to take into account some variables such as greenhouse gases emissions, waste treatment, clean production, recycling, working conditions, transparent and reliable information, etc. Furthermore, there are several variables that can be measured in quantitative terms, but others are more complex to analyze. That is why it would be necessary to consider a different approach. On the other hand, the existence is currently unthinkable of models that use some variables as certain to predict the future, assuming the stationarity of the economic system.
With this Special Issue, we propose to give the opportunity to researchers to present models, algorithms or procedures that could facilitate decision-making processes in a financial context, but considering corporate social responsibility, sustainability, and being transparent and reliable. As this information used to be incomplete and uncertain, these models must help to approach realities by being laxer, which means perhaps less bright, but trying to reach a high level of reality.
