- Combines humanitarian logistics with behavioural operations research
- Provides a holistic view of decision-making processes in the humanitarian sector
- Discusses the main strategic challenges faced by various actors when facing humanitarian crises
This book brings together research in three different streams: humanitarian operations, behavioral operations and dynamic simulation. Part I gives an introduction of the humanitarian sector, outlining the main characteristics and strategic challenges of humanitarian organizations in preparedness, knowledge management, climate change and issues related to refugees and social inclusion. Part II starts with an introduction to behavioral operations and experiments in both single- and multi-agent settings, followed by discussions on quantal theory, framing effect and possible applications in the humanitarian sector.

Part III introduces system dynamics and agent-based modeling and discusses how these modeling techniques can be used to study dynamics and decision-making in humanitarian operations, with a special focus on disaster management problems, collaborative strategies in humanitarian logistics and supply chains with heterogeneous decision makers. This book is unique in providing a holistic view of the decision-making process and challenges in the humanitarian sector.
