U.S.-Western Europe and U.S.-Turkey Collaborative Research on Multiple Criteria Decision Support (Management Science)

该奖项支持普渡大学的Herbert Moskowitz教授与来自英国、土耳其和芬兰的几位国际学者在社会科学研究方面进行合作，这些学者为这一跨学科研究项目带来了应用数学、统计学、管理科学、决策理论和经济学方面的各种有用和互补的专业知识。与会专家包括伦敦商学院决策科学系主席Derek Bunn教授、土耳其安卡拉中东技术大学工业工程系木拉提·科萨兰教授，以及赫尔辛基经济学院的Pekka Korhonen教授和Jyrki Wallenius教授。他们计划研究在多标准决策和决策分析方面有前途的理论、方法和应用研究。在这些领域的其他主题中，他们将继续研究人类选择行为，质量功能部署的模糊建模和分析，以及稳健交互决策分析的扩展。这项研究应该会为人类决策和解决问题的几个重要问题提供新的见解。潜在的应用包括为商业和工业管理开发改进的决策软件。

This award supports Professor Herbert Moskowitz of Purdue University to collaborate in Social Science research with several international scholars from the UK, Turkey and Finland who bring a variety of useful and complementary expertise in applied mathematics, statistics, management science, decision theory and economics to this interdisciplinary research project. The participating experts are Professor Derek Bunn, Chairman of Decision Sciences, London Business School; Professor Murat Koksalan, Department of Industrial Engineering, Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey; and Professors Pekka Korhonen and Jyrki Wallenius of the Helsinki School of Economics. They plan to investigate promising theoretical, methodological and applied research in multiple criteria decision making and decision analysis. Among other topics in these fields, they will pursue research on human choice behavior, fuzzy modeling and analysis of Quality Function Deployment, and extensions of robust interactive decision analysis. This research should provide new insights into several important issues associated with human decision making and problem solving. Potential applications include the development of improved decision making software for business and industrial management.
