Keywords

Decision Sciences, Innovation Research, Excellence in Innovation Award, Research Excellence, Applied Research, Scholarly Impact, Geosystems Hellas S.A., Greece, Research Analytics, Scientific Innovation. [1]

Introduction

Decision Sciences integrates quantitative analysis, modeling, optimization, and structured reasoning to support decisions in complex organizational and technological environments. Research in this area may connect scientific evidence with practical problem-solving, particularly where multiple constraints, uncertainties, and competing objectives must be considered. Charalampopoulou’s listed subject area places her scholarly profile within this interdisciplinary research context.[1] [2]

Research Profile

Charalampopoulou is affiliated with Geosystems Hellas S.A. in Greece and is identified in Scopus under Author . The available bibliometric record indicates 17 documents, 112 citations, and an h-index of 4. These indicators provide a concise quantitative representation of the indexed scholarly record and should be interpreted within the scope, coverage, and updating practices of the relevant database.[1]

Research Contributions

The documented research profile indicates scholarly activity within Decision Sciences, a field that addresses structured approaches to analyzing alternatives and supporting informed decisions. The available information does not provide sufficient publication-level detail to assign specific methodological contributions or research discoveries. Accordingly, this recognition profile focuses on the documented disciplinary affiliation and bibliometric record rather than attributing unverified findings.[3]

Publications

The Scopus record associated with lists 17 indexed documents for Vasiliki (Betty) Charalampopoulou. Individual publication titles, journals, publication years, co-authors, and DOI identifiers are not included in the supplied profile data. For accurate bibliographic citation, individual works should therefore be verified through Scopus, publisher records, Crossref, or the corresponding DOI registration record before publication-specific claims are made.[1]

Research Impact

The available Scopus indicators report 112 citations across 17 documents, with an h-index of 4. These figures indicate that the indexed publications have received measurable scholarly attention within the database. Bibliometric indicators are quantitative measures rather than complete assessments of research quality, societal value, originality, or practical influence, and should therefore be considered alongside qualitative evidence.[5]

Award Suitability

The Excellence in Innovation Award is thematically aligned with a research profile situated in Decision Sciences because innovation can encompass analytical development, applied problem-solving, and the creation or improvement of decision-support approaches. Charalampopoulou’s documented affiliation, subject area, scholarly documents, citations, and h-index provide objective profile information relevant to an academic recognition assessment.[4]

Conclusion

Vasiliki (Betty) Charalampopoulou’s academic profile is associated with Geosystems Hellas S.A., Greece, and the field of Decision Sciences. Her Scopus record reports 17 documents, 112 citations, and an h-index of 4, while her ORCID identifier provides persistent scholarly identification. These documented elements establish a concise basis for presenting her in connection with an innovation-focused research recognition.[1][3]

Dr. Rajiv Dahiya | Business Analytics | Best Researcher Award

University of North Carolina at Pembroke | United States

Dr. Rajiv Dahiya is an Assistant Professor of Business Analytics at the Thomas College of Business and Economics, University of North Carolina at Pembroke. His research integrates the disciplines of Business Analytics, Decision Science, and Information Systems, focusing on how organizations can leverage data-driven strategies to enhance decision-making, develop dynamic capabilities, and improve firm performance. Drawing on over a decade of professional experience in enterprise systems and analytics, Dr. Dahiya combines theoretical insight with practical applications in quantitative modeling, data visualization, and predictive analytics. His primary research stream examines the strategic role of Big Data Analytics (BDA) and Analytics Human Capital (AHC) in driving competitive advantage and firm outcomes. Building on the Resource-Based and Knowledge-Based Views, his doctoral dissertation, “Firm Performance in the Era of Big Data Analytics: Effects of Analytics Human Capital on Firm Capabilities and Performance,” empirically investigates how analytics expertise within firms fosters superior performance through enhanced decision-making capabilities. This work contributes to the growing body of literature on digital transformation and has been recognized for addressing critical gaps in understanding the human element of analytics success. Dr. Dahiya has published and presented his work in reputed outlets such as the Journal of Strategy and Management, Journal of Strategy & Innovation, and the Southeast Decision Science Institute Proceedings. His studies explore emerging topics including text analytics for content analysis, social media analytics and organizational attractiveness, and data-driven risk modeling in online identity theft. Current projects under review extend his analytical framework to assess the impact of business analytics and decision-making capabilities on organizational performance and employ classification analytics to forecast the success of management practices in Eastern European firms. Methodologically, Dr. Dahiya employs empirical, data-centric approaches such as multivariate regression, structural modeling, and machine learning classification, integrating data from sources like WRDS and Thomson Reuters. His interdisciplinary expertise bridges data science, management theory, and information systems, providing a robust platform for applied business research. Through his work, Dr. Dahiya aims to advance the theoretical understanding and practical deployment of analytics-driven decision support systems in corporate environments.
