Multiple Criteria Decision Making Multiattribute Utility Theory - The Next Ten Years

New Image

Management science and decision science have grown exponentially since midcentury. Two closely-related fields central to this growth are multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) and multiattribute utility theory (MAUT). Related fields are decision theory and multiperson decisions or negotiations. In this paper we comment on the history of MCDM and MAUT, describe their approximate boundaries, and discuss topics we believe are important in their continued development and usefulness to decision analysis over the next decade.
