Sensible Decision-Making: Cultivating Systemic and Creative Thinking
暫譯: 明智的決策：培養系統性與創造性思維

Yoshiteru Nakamori earned his Ph.D. in applied mathematics and physics from Kyoto University in January 1980. After a period at Konan University in Kobe, he joined the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology in April 1998 as a professor in the School of Knowledge Science. Since then, he has dedicated himself to advancing knowledge science by integrating systems science principles.

He served as Dean of the School of Knowledge Science at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology from April 2002 to March 2008. From November 2003 to December 2008, he presided over the International Society for Knowledge and Systems Sciences. Subsequently, he served as Vice-President of the International Federation of Systems Research from April 2008 to March 2010. Since April 2010, he has been an academician of the International Academy for Systems and Cybernetic Sciences.

His research journey began in systems science, focusing on optimizing measurement techniques, constructing system models, and developing decision-support tools for environmental issues. He then transitioned to knowledge science, applying systems methodology to knowledge management practices and exploring decision analysis under uncertainty or ambiguity. Subsequently, he pioneered the field of knowledge synthesis decision-making, crafting a decision-making framework that integrates systems thinking and knowledge management principles.

Drawing on his original research in knowledge construction methodology, he has lectured on systems thinking and knowledge management at several prestigious universities, including the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in China, Thammasat University in Thailand, and the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology.

He has published 22 books, 58 book chapters, 184 peer-reviewed journal papers, and 288 international conference papers. His representative books are: -Nakamori Y, Ed.

中森義輝於1980年1月在京都大學獲得應用數學和物理學的博士學位。在神戶的甲南大學工作一段時間後，他於1998年4月加入日本先進科學技術研究所，擔任知識科學學院的教授。自那時起，他致力於通過整合系統科學原則來推進知識科學。

他於2002年4月至2008年3月擔任日本先進科學技術研究所知識科學學院的院長。從2003年11月到2008年12月，他擔任國際知識與系統科學學會的會長。隨後，他於2008年4月至2010年3月擔任國際系統研究聯合會的副會長。自2010年4月以來，他成為國際系統與控制科學學院的院士。

他的研究旅程始於系統科學，專注於優化測量技術、構建系統模型以及為環境問題開發決策支持工具。隨後，他轉向知識科學，將系統方法應用於知識管理實踐，並探索不確定性或模糊性下的決策分析。隨後，他開創了知識綜合決策的領域，構建了一個整合系統思維和知識管理原則的決策框架。

基於他在知識建構方法論方面的原創研究，他在多所著名大學講授系統思維和知識管理，包括中國的中國科學院大學、泰國的塔馬薩特大學以及日本先進科學技術研究所。

他已出版22本書籍、58章書籍、184篇同行評審的期刊論文和288篇國際會議論文。他的代表作包括：-中森義輝編著（2023）《知識技術與系統：建立知識系統科學的方向》。Springer，ISBN 978-981-16-3252-5 -中森義輝（2021）《知識技術：將數據和信息轉化為有價值的想法》。Springer，ISBN 978-981-16-3252-5 -中森義輝（2019）《知識建構方法論：融合系統思維與知識管理》。Springer，ISBN 978-981-13-9886-5。-中森義輝編著（2015）《知識綜合：西方與東方文化的視角》。Springer，ISBN 978-4-431-55217-8。-中森義輝（2013）《知識與系統科學：促進系統性知識綜合》。CRC Press，Taylor & Francis Group，ISBN 978-1-4665-9300-8。-中森義輝編著（2011）《知識科學：建模知識創造過程》。CRC Press，Taylor & Francis Group，ISBN 978-1-4398-3836-5。
