Group decision making based on the LCLR method
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to propose a new group decision-making approach, which can only use simple mathematical calculations to perform a group decision-making task. Design/methodology/approach - The large column and large row (LCLR) method is designed and applied. Findings - The paper finds four propositions to support LCLR methods to be a simple and effectual means for group decision making. Research limitations/implications - The aggregated matrix constructed in LCLR methods should be generated from non-contradictory circles. Practical implications - Effective group decision-making results can be obtained by easily used methods, not necessarily by using complex mathematics technology to conduct the task. Originality/value - The new approach based on LCLR methods proposed in this paper may be one of the most easily used and effective means for group decision making.
