Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis for Strategic Decision Making

چکیده
In this chapter we discuss the use of MCDA for supporting strategic decision making, particularly within strategy workshops. The chapter begins by exploring the nature of strategic decisions and the characteristics of the strategic decision making process. Specifically, we examine the technical issues associated with the content of strategic decisions, and the social aspects that characterise the processes within which they are created. These features lead us to propose a number of adaptations to the standard MCDA approach if it were to be used at a more strategic level. We make suggestions on how to implement these proposals, and illustrate them with examples drawn from real-world interventions in which we have participated as strategic decision support analysts.

Dimensional analysis, for multi-criteria decision making, is a mathematical method that includes diverse heterogeneous criteria into a single dimensionless index. Dimensional Analysis, in its current definition, presents the drawback to manipulate fuzzy information commonly presented in a multi-criteria decision making problem. To overcome such limitation, we propose two dimensional analysis ba...
