Lecture Notes in Operations Research

Proceedings of the Seventh International Conference of the Tunisian Operational Research Society (IC_TORS’25), Tunisia, April 11 - 13, 2025

Advances in Operations Research Theory, Algorithms, and Applications

Strategic lessons for monetary policy from the last two tumultuous decades based on insights from Sun Tzu, the Chinese philosopher and author of The Art of War. When central banks were forced to innovate and develop a multifaceted set of new weapons in response to the 2008 global financial crisis and 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, the result was a substantial expansion in their authority and reach. In The Art of Monetary Policy, Kristin Forbes draws lessons for monetary policy of the last two decades from the principles of Sun Tzu, the author of The Art of War, a Chinese philosopher and military strategist from the fifth century BC. Tzu proposed several key principles for success—tenets that apply to monetary policy and the battlefield today: (1) plan in advance for the next battle; (2) accept and adapt to the inevitability of powerful, external shocks outside your control; (3) establish a strong tactical position; (4) develop a variety of weapons that can be combined for different maneuvers and situations; (5) maintain flexibility so that you can quickly modify your strategy; and (6) consider the longer-term costs when evaluating the trade-offs of different approaches. These principles provide insights into what central banks did (and did not) do well over the last two decades, as well as how they should deploy interest rates, balance sheets, emergency support programs, forward guidance, and macroprudential tools in the future. While the optimal strategy in both war and monetary policy is more of an “art” than a science, adopting these principles can improve our ability to battle the next crisis and build more resilient economies during peaceful periods.

Burnout rising. Systems cracking. Talent leaving. The solution: design for human dignity and full-person diversity—with this award-winning guide. The Canary Code reorganizes work for thriving—starting with those first impacted by faulty systems, like canaries first sensing toxic air in coal mines. Neurodivergent talent (members of ADHD, autism, Tourette’s syndrome, and learning-differences communities, and others who think and experience life differently) offer unique skills and exceptional work ethics, yet face employment barriers. Their unique abilities and perspectives are excluded, and their canary warnings about bullying, broken workflows, or ethical drift are ignored. This practical guide helps CEOs, managers, HR leaders, and changemakers improve work for all. Drawing on science and lived experience, 2025 Thinkers50 Talent Award winner and internationally renowned management expert Ludmila Praslova shows how embracing neurodiversity creates healthier, more innovative systems. A neurodivergent organizational psychologist with over twenty-five years of global practice and research on inclusive organizations, she offers the following: <ul><li>A holistic framework of human differences (social, cognitive, emotional, physical)</li><li>An intersectional, whole-person approach to neuroinclusion</li><li>Dignity-based talent practices, from hiring to leadership development</li><li>Global perspectives celebrating diverse neurodivergent voices</li><li>Actionable strategies for change at any organizational level</li></ul> Blending lived experience, academic rigor, and accessible writing, this groundbreaking work exemplifies neuroinclusion. It clearly indicates academic, applied, and personal content, supporting an individualized reader experience.

Con empatía, humor y estrategias prácticas, Sofía Macías te ayuda a construir estabilidad y resiliencia financiera para que, incluso cuando la vida te revuelca, mantengas el rumbo hacia el futuro que sueñas. Crecer no es la trampa. Crecer sin herramientas sí lo es. Aquí tienes las tuyas. Acéptalo: los días en los que la fiesta duraba todo el fin de semana y el lunes trabajabas fresco como lechuga quedaron atrás. Ahora la conversación gira en torno a hipotecas, seguros, colesterol y quién paga qué. Bienvenido a los “tas”. No crezcas, es una trampa… o al menos eso parece. Porque la vida adulta no viene con instructivo. Y cuando tus papás empiezan a envejecer o a enfermar —esos superhéroes a los que siempre acudías— y de pronto te toca decidir por ellos, hacer trámites, pagar tratamientos y ordenar cuentas, entiendes que el dinero ya no es solo para viajes o gustos: es una herramienta para cuidar y cuidarte. Esa experiencia marcó a Sofía Macías e inspiró esta guía de supervivencia financiera. En Finanzas para la vida adulta aprenderás a protegerte sin descarrilar tus finanzas, a cuidar tu salud mental, física y cerebral sin que te cueste un ojo de la cara, a quitarle lo imposible a la compra de casa, a invertir en bienes raíces con poco dinero y a hablar de dinero con tu pareja o familia sin dinamitar la relación. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION With empathy, humor, and practical strategies, Sofía Macías helps you build financial stability and resilience so that—even when life knocks you around—you can stay on track toward the future you dream of. Growing up isn’t the trap. Growing up without the right tools is. Here are yours. Let’s face it: the days when the party lasted all weekend and you showed up to work on Monday feeling fresh as a daisy are long gone. Now the conversation revolves around mortgages, insurance, cholesterol, and who’s paying for what. Welcome to the world of “adulting.” Don’t grow up—it’s a trap… or at least it feels that way. Because adulthood doesn’t come with an instruction manual. And when your parents start to age or fall ill—those superheroes you always relied on—and suddenly it’s up to you to make decisions for them, handle paperwork, pay for treatments, and get their finances in order, you realize that money isn’t just for travel or treats anymore: it’s a tool for caring for them and for yourself. That experience shaped Sofía Macías and inspired this financial survival guide. In Finances for Adult Life, you’ll learn how to protect yourself without derailing your finances; how to care for your mental, physical, and cognitive health without spending a fortune; how to make buying a home feel achievable; how to invest in real estate with limited funds; and how to talk about money with your partner or family without blowing up the relationship.

From the award-winning and Sunday Times bestselling author of Material World, a story that will take you from ancient civilizations, empire and globalisation through to the most influential geopolitical issue of our times.The story of trade is the story of humanity. From the copper in Mesopotamian ploughs to the silicon atoms within the chip inside your smartphone, intricate global trading networks have evolved over millennia to fulfil the distinctly human desire to buy and sell. Today, the volume of trade bestriding the planet is unprecedented. Yet, as fractures in the global order emerge - from an era of globalisation and untrammelled flows of goods and money to a new world of restrictions, intervention and, possibly, war - understanding this fundamental shift to the dominant economic consensus is more important than ever. Ed Conway tells this extraordinary story through these three commonplace products - bread, cloth and cars. With a compelling blend of economic history and first-hand access to key figures and institutions, he takes us from policy treaties to ground level to show us the people who make, ship and sometimes smuggle the products we buy on a daily basis. Discover the hidden, shifting trade world behind everything you see around you.

The Ties That Bound Our Past and Could Unravel Our Future

** A Financial Times Best Summer Book of 2025** A sweeping history of capitalism as seen through the eyes of its fiercest critics At a time when we are faced with fundamental questions about the sustainability and morality of the economic system, Capitalism and Its Critics provides a kaleidoscopic history of global capitalism, from colonialism and the Industrial Revolution to the ecological crisis and artificial intelligence. John Cassidy adopts a bold new approach: he tells the story through the eyes of the system's critics. From eighteenth-century weavers who rebelled against early factory automation to Eric Williams's paradigm-changing work on slavery and capitalism, to the Latin American dependistas, the international Wages for Housework campaign of the 1970s, and the modern degrowth movement, this absorbing narrative traverses the globe. It looks at familiar figures - Smith, Marx, Luxemburg, Keynes, Polanyi - from a fresh perspective, but also focuses on many less familiar, including William Thompson, the Irish proto-socialist whose work influenced Marx; Flora Tristan, the French proponent of a universal labour union; John Hobson, the original theorist of imperialism; and J. C. Kumarappa, the Indian exponent of Gandhian economics. Blending biography, panoramic history, and lively exploration of economic theories, Capitalism and Its Critics illuminates the deep roots of many of the most urgent issues of our time.

Epic, shocking, and deeply reported, The Elements of Power tells the story of the war for the global supply of battery metals—essential for the decarbonization of our economies—and the terrible, bloody human cost of this badly misunderstood industry Congo is rich. Swaths of the war-torn African country lack basic infrastructure, and, after many decades of colonial occupation, its people are officially among the poorest in the world. But hidden beneath the soil are vast quantities of cobalt, lithium, copper, tin, tantalum, tungsten, and other treasures. Recently, this veritable periodic table of resources has become extremely valuable because these metals are essential for the global “energy transition”—the plan for wealthy nations to wean themselves off fossil fuels by shifting to sustainable forms of energy, such as solar and wind. The race to electrify the world’s economy has begun, and China has a considerable head start. From Indonesia to South America to Central Africa, Beijing has invested in mines and infrastructure for decades. But the U.S. has begun fighting back with massive investments of its own, as well as sanctions and disruptive tariffs. In this rush for green energy, the world has become utterly reliant on resources unearthed far away and willfully blind to the terrible political, environmental, and social consequences of their extraction. If the Democratic Republic of the Congo possesses such riches, why are its children routinely descending deep into treacherous mines to dig with the most rudimentary of tools, or in some cases their bare hands? Why are Indonesia’s seas and skies being polluted in a rush for battery metals? Why is the Western Sahara, a source for phosphates, still being treated like a colony? Who must pay the price for progress? With unparalleled, original reporting, Nicolas Niarchos reveals how the scramble to control these metals and their production is overturning the world order, just as the global race to drill for oil shaped the twentieth century. Exploring the advent of the lithium-ion battery and tracing the supply chain for its production, Niarchos tells the story both of the people driving these tectonic changes and those whose lives are being upended. He reveals the true, devastating consequences of our best intentions and helps us prepare for an uncertain future. If you have ever used a smartphone or driven an electric vehicle, you are implicated.

A comprehensive look at causality’s theoretical and practical aspects in economics and finance. In Causal Modeling for Finance and Business, Frank Fabozzi and Sergio Focardi offer a foundation for understanding causal relationships and their importance in complex systems. Topics include the theory of graphs, probabilistic frameworks, structural causal models, algorithms for learning causal structures, and the empirical testing of these models. The book emphasizes applying and deploying causal models in real-world business and investment scenarios. However, it also offers a novel theoretical perspective on causal modeling. Fabozzi and Focardi argue that causation is not a law of nature, but a characteristic of causal systems. If we accept the modern idea of causation as manipulability, causal systems are characterized by causal relationships as well as purely descriptive functional relationships. With these arguments in mind, the book addresses a critical gap in understanding and applying causal reasoning in complex systems. While correlations have often been relied upon in data analysis, decision-making in business and economics demands a deeper understanding of causation and functional relationships to drive actionable outcomes. The book’s objective is to provide a comprehensive resource that bridges foundational theories and practical applications of causal models. By integrating recent advancements in artificial intelligence, probabilistic logic, and graph theory, the authors offer a robust framework for researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers to harness the power of causality in solving intricate problems.
