Evelina Nedzinskaitė is a Master's student in Business Sustainability Management at ISM University of Management and Economics, where she is conducting a research on climate transition planning from a decision-making perspective. Alongside her studies, she works as a lawyer at Lithuania's largest company group and develops a healthech start-up Genomatters.
Her master's thesis investigates how executives evaluate and choose between different types of decision-support tools: human experts, AI-based systems, or hybrid approaches, when planning their companies' climate transition strategies. Using choice-based conjoint analysis with the Sawtooth Software platform, her research seeks to understand what trade-offs executives are willing to make between key factors such as emissions accuracy, stakeholder involvement, transparency of recommendations, and cost. By combining theoretical work on transition pathways with real-world evidence on executive preferences, Evelina's research aims to inform the design of more effective decision-support tools that can speed up climate transition strategies, enhance business resilience, and support innovative sustainable business models.
