Many complex systems in civil and military operations are highly automated with the intention of supporting human performance in difficult cognitive tasks involving information processing. The complex systems can involve teams or individuals working on real-time tasks where a number of constraints m..

Poor management decisions made under stress conditions can lead to the collapse of an organization. Even under non-stress conditions, certain technology uninformed management decisions can lead to situations that increase the economic burden placed on an organization. This book discusses management ..
