Incorporation of the behavioral issues of the decision maker (DM) is among the aspects that each Multicriteria Decision Making (MCDM) method implicitly or explicitly takes into account. As postulated by regret theory, the feelings of regret and rejoice are among the behavioral issues associated with the entire decision making process. Within the context of MCDM, the DM may feel regret, when the chosen alternative is compared with another one having at least one better criterion value. PROMETHEE II is a widely known MCDM method that makes no explicit incorporation of regret attitude of the DM. In this paper, we elaborate on the applicability of regret theory to MCDM context. In particular, we investigate the findings of regret theory and explore the parallel between regret theory and PROMETHEE II method. Relying on the concepts of regret theory, we demonstrate how a decision that is made using a PROMETHEE II based outranking method conforms to the regret attitude of the DM.

An Interactive partitioning approach for multiobjective decision making under a general monotone utility function Karasakal, Esra (2013-09-01) We develop an interactive partitioning approach for solving the multiobjective decision making problem of a decision maker (DM) who has an implicit general monotone utility function. The approach reduces feasible solution space using the DM's preferences. Hypothetical solutions called partition ideals (PIs) that dominate portions of the efficient frontier are generated and those that are inferior to a feasible solution are used to eliminate the dominated regions. We investigate the issues in representation ...
An interactive approach with filtering to find a preferred solution of a decision maker TUNCER ŞAKAR, CEREN; Karakaya, Gülşah (Journal of the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture of Gazi University, 2019-01-01) In decision making problems that contain multiple and conflicting objectives, it is not an easy and straightforward task to determine the most preferred solution of a decision maker. In this study, an interactive method is proposed to converge to the most preferred solution of the decision maker. The proposed method elicits preference information from the decision maker in consecutive iterations and reduces the solution space accordingly. The decision maker evaluates a limited number of solutions in each it...
A Probabilistic Approach for Indirect Elicitation of the Preferences of a Decision Maker Yet, Barbaros (2018-05-28) Eliciting the preferences of a Decision Maker (DM) is a challenging task in multi criteria-decision making problems. DM preferences can be represented in the form of weights for criteria. Direct elicitation methods can be cognitively difficult for the DM especially when a large number of weights with close values are available. Indirect methods are beneficial in this regard as they use decision alternatives rather than weights for elicitation. However, the accuracy of these approaches can vary depending on ...
AN INTERACTIVE APPROACH FOR A DUAL CONSTRAINT JOB SHOP SCHEDULING PROBLEM KONDAKCI, S; GUPTA, RM (Elsevier BV, 1991-01-01) Until recently, heuristic dispatching rules were the only practical means to solve the job shop scheduling problem. Currently, a promising direction in job shop scheduling is interactive scheduling. In this study an interactive scheduling approach is developed for a dual-constraint dynamic job shop production environment. The approach is used by a number of subjects in an experiment. The performance of the subjects is compared with that of dispatching rules based on tardiness and other measures relevant...
The influence of nationality and gender on ethical sensitivity: An application of the issue-contingent model Simga-Mugan, C; Daly, BA; Onkal, D; Kavut, L (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-03-01) When a member of an organization has to make a decision or act in a way that may benefit some stakeholders at the expense of others, ethical dilemmas may arise. This paper examines ethical sensitivity regarding the duties to clients and owners (principals), employees (agents), and responsibilities to society (third parties). Within this framework, ethical perceptions of male and female managers are compared between the U.S. and Turkey - two countries that differ on power distance as well as the individualis...
