A decision model for technology selection in the existence of both cardinal and ordinal data

Technology selection is an important part of management of technology. To select the best technologies in the existence of both cardinal and ordinal data, this paper proposes an innovative approach, which is based on a mathematical programming. A numerical example demonstrates the application of the proposed method.
