New Frontiers of Hybrid MCDM Techniques for Problems-Solving

Novel hybrid MCDM models can combine many new techniques, such as DEMATEL, ISM (interpretive structural modeling), social network analysis with preference weights (AHP, ANP, Fuzzy integral) and performance matrix to evaluate and improve the gaps of each criterion, and then reduce the gaps for achieving the aspired/desired levels in MADM of real world applications
Novel hybrid MCDM models can combine many new techniques, such as dynamic network multistage and multilevel, relaxing the decision space with preference weights (AHP, ANP) to De Novo perspective for achieving aspired/desired win-win goal plan, such as transaction cost theory and the resource-based view, to explain the formation of strategic alliances, M&A, joint ventures, R&D resources design or post-merge R&D human resources in global problems.

Target audience
The purpose of this workshops ¡°Novel Hybrid Research Methods of Problems- Solving, novel hybrid MCDM: (1) hybrid MADM and (2) MODM by De Novo Perspective¡± is to submit the some novel MADM and MODM methods of whole systems in ¡°techniques of logic and new thinking systems¡± for audiences to understand, solve, and treat all possible important problems. Then the audiences can promoting and expanding the competence sets for solving and treating all problems in different fields/domains to make decisions in real MCDM problems.
