This book is devoted to presenting theoretical fundamentals for the
methods of multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) in the social
sciences with particular intent to their applicability to
real-world decision making. The main characteristics of the complex
problems facing humans in the world today are multidimensional and
have multiple objecti ves; they are large-scale, and have
nonconimensura te and conflicting objectives, such as economic,
environmental, societal, technical, and aesthetic ones. The authors
intend to establish basic concepts for treating these complex
problems and to present methodological discussions for MCDM with
some applications to administrative, or regional, planning. MCDM is
composed of two phases: analytical and judgmental. In this book, we
intend to consolidate these two phases and to present integrated
methodologies for manipulating them with particular interest in
managerial decision making, which has not yet been properly treated
in spite of its urgent necessi ty. Al though a number of books in
MCDM fields have already been published in recent years, most of
them have mainly trea ted one aspect of MCDM. Our work specifically
intends to trea t the methodology in unified systems and to
construct a conceptual structure with special regards to the
intrinsic properties of MCDM and its "economic meanings" from the
social scientific point of view.
