AbstractIndividuals in organizations must frequently enact a series of ongoing decisions in real-time dynamic contexts. Despite the increasing need for individuals to manage dynamic decision-making demands, we still understand little about individual differences impacting performance in these environments. This paper proposes a new construct applicable to adaptation in such real-time dynamic environments. Cognitive agility is a formative construct measuring the individual capacity to exhibit cognitive flexibility, cognitive openness and focused attention. This study predicts that cognitive agility will impact adaptive performance in a real-time dynamic decision-making microworld computer game called the Networked Fire Chief; a simulation developed to study and train Australian fire fighters. Cognitive agility, operationalized through three distinct methods (performance measures, self-reports and external-rater reports), explained unique variance beyond measures of general intelligence on the total score of adaptive performance in the microworld.

Simulated virtual realities offer a promising but currently underutilized source of data in studying cultural and demographic aspects of dynamic decision-making (DDM) in small groups. This study focuses on one simulated reality, a clock-driven business simulation game, which is used to teach operations management. The purpose of our study is to analyze the characteristics of the decision-making groups, such as cultural orientation, education, gender and group size, and their relationship to group performance in a real-time processed simulation game. Our study examines decision-making in small groups of two or three employees from a global manufacturing and service operations company. We aim at shedding new light on how such groups with diverse background profiles perform as decision-making units. Our results reveal that the profile of the decision-making group influences the outcome of decision-making, the final business result of the simulation game. In particular, the cultural and gender diversity, as well as group size seem to have intertwined effects on team performance.

The application of intelligent transportation system technologies to freight mobility requires dynamic decision-making techniques for commercial fleet operations, using real-time information. Recognizing the productivity-enhancing operational changes possible using real-time information about vehicle locations and demands coupled with constant communication between dispatchers and drivers, a general carrier fleet management system is described. The system features dynamic dispatching, load acceptance, and pricing strategies. A simulation framework is developed to evaluate the performance of alternative load acceptance and assignment strategies using real-time information. Real-time decision making for fleet operations involves balancing a complicated set of often conflicting objectives. The simulation framework provides a means for exploring the trade-offs between these objectives. Results suggest that reductions in cost and improvements in service quality should result from the use of dynamic dispatching (assignment) strategies in addition to traditional planning tools. These results and the overall simulation framework are discussed.
