Preference assessments and its association with compromise decisions

Conflicts are very common among the group of decision makers. Agreement and disagreement over an alternative (option) vary among each individual. VIKOR decision making technique is a multi-criteria decision making tool to measure the group reconciliation solutions. In this paper, we propose a new methodology for comparing the decision makers’ preference opinion with the observed compromise opinion. Also we have utilized analytic hierarchy process to assess the personal preference of an individual in choosing the most appropriate crop for cultivation. Further this paper compares the ranking of personal preferences with the results obtained from GIOWA-VIKOR method.
