Multicriterion decision in management

the long version

"Multicriterion Decision in Management: Principles and Practice is the first multicriteria analysis book treatment devoted exclusively to discrete multicriterion decision making. Typically, multicriterion analysis is used in two distinct frameworks: First, there is multiple criteria linear programming, which is an extension of the results of linear programming and its associated algorithms. Second, there is discrete multicriterion decision making, which is concerned with choices among a finite number of possible alternatives such as projets, investments, decisions, etc. This is the focus of this book." "The book is intended for use by practitioners (managers, consultants), researchers, and students in engineering and business."--BOOK JACKET.
