The purpose of Evaluation and Decision Models: A Critical
Perspective is to provide a critical thinking framework for all
individuals utilizing decision and evaluation models, whether it be
for research or applications. It is axiomatic that all evaluation
and decision models suffer some limitations. There are situations
where a decision model will not perform to expectations. This book
argues that there is no best decision or evaluation model, but that
decision-makers must understand the principles of formal evaluation
and decision models and apply them critically. Hence, the book
seeks to deepen our understanding of evaluation and decision models
and encourage users of these models to think more analytically
about them. The authors work in six different European
universities. Their backgrounds are varied: mathematics, economics,
engineering, law, and geology, and they teach in engineering,
business, mathematics, computer science, and psychology in their
universities. As a group, the authors have particular expertise in
a variety of decision models that include preference modelling,
fuzzy logic, aggregation techniques, social choice theory,
artificial intelligence, problem structuring, measurement theory,
operations research, and multiple criteria decision support. In
addition to their decision analysis research, all the authors have
been involved in a variety of high-impact applications which
include software evaluation, location of a nuclear repository, the
rehabilitation of a sewer network, and the location of high-voltage
lines. It is this variety within the authorship that unifies this
book into a systematic examination of how best formal decision
models can be used. The monographis an excellent tool for
researchers of decision analysis and decision-makers.
