Organising Response to Extreme Emergencies
How can people and organisations best respond to emergency events that are significantly beyond the boundaries of what they had generally anticipated, expected, prepared for – or even imagined?

It is shown that these prices constitute an element of the optimal solution to the dual of a linear programming assignment problem. Bot…
