Genetic Algorithms Attack Insoluble Business Problems

A significant challenge in managing today’s enterprise is quickly and effectively choosing among a large number of complex options and alternatives with subtle trade-offs.  Fortunately, new computer applications using genetic algorithms can do a much better job at making these choices than a person using traditional analytical techniques. 

How do they do this?  Genetic algorithms allow people to “breed” a population of computer programs using the concept of natural selection.¹  They are typically used as part of a compute.....
