Abstract

This is the final issue under this Editor-in-Chief, so this column is fittingly coauthored with the associate editors, whose terms also end with this issue, to emphasize their major role in the leadership of the journal. We first introduce incoming Editor-in-Chief Rakesh K. Sarin, briefly review this year's operations, and thank our editorial board and referees. Then we move on to this issue's five research articles. In our first article, Ralph L. Keeney presents “Value-Focused Brainstorming.” Next, Kenneth C. Lichtendahl Jr. and Samuel E. Bodily develop models for “Multiplicative Utilities for Health and Consumption.” Then, Luis V. Montiel and J. Eric Bickel present “A Simulation-Based Approach to Decision Making with Partial Information.” Our fourth article, by Kash Barker and Kaycee J. Wilson, is “Decision Trees with Single and Multiple Interval-Valued Objectives.” Our final article, by Anton Kühberger and Christian Wiener, is on “Explaining Risk Attitude in Framing Tasks by Regulatory Focus: A Verbal Protocol Analysis and a Simulation Using Fuzzy Logic.”
