First Edition. xxviii, 1 leaf, 569 pp; figs. Original cloth. Very Good, without dust jacket. Wiley Series in Probability and Mathematical Statistics. 'Many of the complex problems faced by decision makers involve multiple conflicting objectives. This book describes how a confused decision maker, who wishes to make a reasonable and responsible choice among alternatives, can systematically probe his true feelings in order to make those critically important, vexing tradeoffs between incommensurable objectives. The theory is illustrated by many real concrete examples taken from a host of disciplinary settings. The standard approach in decision theory or decision analysis specifies a simplified single objective like monetary return to maximize. By generalizing from the single objective case to the multiple objective case, this book considerably widens the range of applicability of decision analysis' (Web site of Cambridge University Press, which reissued the book in 1993; only the paperback edition is still in print). 'Keeney and Raiffa's 1976 book is the key guide to multiattribute utility applications' (Office of the UK Deputy Prime Minister Web site). Codice articolo 14837
