The study of future change in the ship design process
Future planning is an important aspect of decision making, since it enables organizations to clarify their future priorities, improve risk awareness and recognize opportunities. Presently, many ship design companies are contemplating decisions, such as transitioning from the conservative 2D based sh...

Future planning is an important aspect of decision making, since it enables organizations to clarify their future priorities, improve risk awareness and recognize opportunities.
