The "River Publishers Series in Management Sciences and Engineering" aims at publishing high quality books on management sciences and engineering. The Series provides discussion and facilitates exchange of information on principles, strategies, models, techniques, methodologies and applications of management sciences and engineering in the field of industry, commerce, government and services. The Series aims to communicate the latest developments and thinking on the management and engineering subject world-wide. Thus, the main aim of this book series is to serve as a useful reference and to provide a channel of communication to disseminate knowledge between academics, researchers, managers and engineers and other professionals.

The Series seeks to link management sciences and engineering disciplines to helping organizations in private and public sectors addressing technological, business and societal challenges in a context of complexity, uncertainty and change. The Series stimulates the development of new approaches to management and engineering in a human, organizational and societal context, from a socio-technical systems perspective, and in aspects as design, innovation, planning, coordination, communication, engagement and decision-making. Examples of societal challenges requiring new approaches to management and engineering include the sustainable, secure and responsible development of energy, transport, water, infrastructural and informational resources, infrastructures and services. The Series is highlighting cultural and geographical diversity in studies oriented to transformation in organizations and work environments. It emphasizes the role of human resource management, the role of organizational decision-making and collaboration, empowerment of stakeholders, and the management of innovation and engineering activities in a context of organizational change. This way it reflects the diversity of human, organizational and societal conditions.
