Group decision making methods such as Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) have been developed extensively, but their organizational use for group decision making has been difficult. According to Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem, one possible reason is that a group decision outcome could never satisfy every decision maker’s individual preference. This paper proposes a fuzzy GSS (Group Support Sys...

Review on group decision support systems (GDSS) indicates that traditional GDSS are not specifically designed to support mission-critical group decision-making tasks that require group decision-making to be made effectively within short time. In addition, prior studies in the research literature have not considered group decision preference adjustment as a continuous process and neglected its i...

Priority vectors in the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) are commonly estimated as constant values calculated by pairwise comparison ratios elicited from an expert. For multiple experts, or panel data, other data with varied characteristics of measurements, priority can be built functions auxiliary predictors. example, multi-person decision making, priorities obtained regression modeling demogr...
