Multi - Criteria Decision Making Methods for Technology Transfer

Decisions are made constantly and at so many different levels, global, national, local, social, political, and economic. In practice, decision makers are often facing controversial issues and they are challenged to select those goals that they want to optimize in contrast to others that they are willing to accept deviation from the optimal performance. Decision Making can be defined as the attempt of solving dilemmas raised by conflicting pursuits (Zeleny, 1982). The scope of Multicriteria Analysis (MCA) is the investigation of decision problems, which take into account multiple criteria (Kahneman et al., 1982).
