Modeling Group Decision-Making for Collaborative Teams in Enterprises

Multicriteria analysis can be incorporated as a method to model preferences and facilitate decision making within a group of decision makers. In this paper we present a Group Decision Support System model, which utilizes multicriteria analysis to support decisions in a collaborative team. In brief the model is based on the synthesis of group members´ preferences following an appropriate aggregation procedure. The resulting group preference is used as input for the relevant multicriteria methodology to produce the decision outcome. In this paper we present a variation focusing on classification decisions in group setting. We outline the overall methodology as well as the architecture of a prototype group decision support system and present an application in a financial classification problem.
