THE MANAGERIAL VIEWPOINT IN INTERACTIVE PROGRAMMING WITH MULTIPLE OBJECTIVES

An interactive multiple criteria method for managerial decision support is presented. The approach used is aimed at meeting some of the key requirements placed on multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) tools by a “soft” systems view on managerial reality. This is based on two concepts: similarity of aspirations and the graphical conflict zones, and solves some of the reported difficulties in directional search methods.
