This book presents a novel approach to the formulation and solution of three classes of problems: the fully fuzzy transportation problem, the fully fuzzy transshipment problem, and fully fuzzy solid transportation problem. It points out some limitations of the existing formulations and approaches, indicating some possible, conceptually and algorithmically attractive solutions to alleviate them. In particular, the book describes new conceptual and algorithmic solutions for finding the fuzzy optimal solutions of the single-objective fully fuzzy transportation problems, the fully fuzzy transshipment problems and the fully fuzzy solid transportation problems. Moreover, based on the novel concepts and solutions proposed by combining the concept of a fully fuzzy solid transportation problem and a fully fuzzy transshipment problem, it describes a new class of problems, i.e. the fully fuzzy solid trans-shipment problem, together with its fuzzy linear programming formulation and some methods to find its fuzzy optimal solution. The book offers the readers a timely piece of literature in the field of fuzzy linear programming, and is expected to act as a source of inspiration for future research and applications.

Leadership has been described as the 'process of social influence in which one person is able to enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task'. A definition more inclusive of followers comes from Alan Keith of Genentech who said 'Leadership is ultimately about creating a way for people to contribute to making something extraordinary happen.' It is no longer surprising or incongruous to see a woman as principal of a public high school, manager of a corporate department, dean of a university/college, or anchor on local newscast. Women have breached the barriers to such positions in context with a general relaxation in traditional general-role attitudes as well as changes in public perceptions of what leadership entails. There are ways for both organisations and individuals to support these women, and thus support the progress toward a social structure in which women's leadership is commonplace even in contexts currently defined as masculine. This publication provides the readers with the key information on the said subject in an affordable three-part condensed format. This user-friendly reference publication offers a quick access to all areas of global women leaders. It presents the state-of-art information in areas covering a brief biography, their life and time, achievements and leadership qualities of most prominent women leaders of the world. The content of this publication is aimed for both qualified and unqualified graduates who possess knowledge on important world personalities. It also provides such readers with knowledge about the works related to prominent women leaders. The objectives of this publication are to provide a broad range of knowledge in this area, as well as the skill/ability to apply this knowledge for further analysis and research. This will also enhance opportunity of the readers for further education in related fields.
