  • Abstract
    This Paper studies the meta-synthesis of group decision-making problems aimed at IT project management. We analyze decision maker´s preference utility value and present a decision-making evaluation model. In order to avoid the negative effect caused by extreme preference utility values, the concept of normal mean factor is given and applied to the decision-making evaluation model to ensure the non-dictatorship of group decision-making for IT project management. We adopt virtual decision makers and virtual alternatives when constructing the Markov State Transition Matrix to resolve the inequality of decision makers and alternatives. Finally, a meta-synthesis method of group decision-making for IT project management based on Markov Chain is presented.
