Disaggregation approach to value elicitationDisaggregation approach to value elicitation Κεφάλαιο σε Βιβλίο Book Chapter 2019-10-212018enThe philosophy of preference disaggregation in multicriteria decision analysis encapsulates the assessment/inference of preference models, from given preferential structures, and the implementation of decision aid activities through consistent and robust operational models. This chapter presents a new outlook on the well-known UTA method, which is devoted to the elicitation of values through the inference of multiple additive value models. On top of that, it incorporates the latest theoretical developments, related to the robustness control of both the decision model and the surfacing decision aiding conclusions. An application example on job evaluation is elaborated as an educative example, while other potential areas for future use applications of the methodological framework are listed. The chapter concludes with several promising directions for future research.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/International Series in Operations Research and Management ScienceElicitation Matsatsinis Nikolaos Ματσατσινης Νικολαος Grigoroudis Evaggelos Γρηγορουδης Ευαγγελος Siskos Eleftherios Y.
