An Empirical Investigation Of Integrated Spatial-Proximity MCDM-Behavioral Problem Solving Technology Group Decision Models

Abstract

This paper presents the results of an empirical test of two integrated spatial-proximity MCDM Behavioral Problem Solving technology models of group decision making. The performance of these models is compared to the performance of a non- integrated MCDM model for a strategic operations decision. The experiment is conducted in the context of the Business management Laboratory simulation game. Evidence relating to conflict in the decision making exercise is also discussed.
