Overview

This volume contains a selection of papers presented at the Eighth International Conference on Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM). MCDM has been an active research area for over 20 years and the previous conferences clearly showed a tremendous growth of interest. A variety of successful applications and recent developments of interactive computer software to support decision making confirm a sustained progress. The aim of the book is to take stock of the impact of multicriteria concepts in organisations and to involve management practitioners from a wide range of backgrounds. To this end the book is organised round five broad themes and papers discuss the following topics: Psychology - how do individuals in practice use and relate to the methodologies. Organisation - how do our models fit into the decision making framework of real organisations. Application - how have the models been used in practice and what is the users view. Methodology - what are the new areas in model development. Related Areas - is there complementary work, e.g. Expert Systems which may be attempting to solve very similar problems.
