Criteria for Evaluating Group Decision-Making Methods

In this chapter we are concerned with the development of criteria for evaluating different methods of group decision-making that range from the strictly technical, to the psychophysical and social, and finally, to the logical and scientific. Our purpose is to identify similarities and differences with the aim of showing from such wide consideration which method is more attractive, and is likely to gain greater attention both in academia and in practice.
