Multiobjective decision-making and combinatorial optimization have been studied extensively over the past few decades (cf. [16], and [4] for bibliographies). Both fields play a decisive role in multiobjective combinatorial optimization, for which the class of (multiobjective) portfolio selection is of particularly high practical relevance (cf. [10] for a survey). Research and development (R&D) ...

Based on the theory of existing research project portfolio management, paper analyzes key factors selection, and evaluates them using fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. Finally, builds a choice integer programming model based 0/1 programming, which is organizations strategies.
