Decision-making is a scientific activity that is crucial for every business and organization. The decision-making problems encountered across all scientific fields are typically characterized by a high degree of complexity due to the large number of criteria (quantitative or qualitative) involved in the analysis.

A multitude of techniques has been proposed to address this problem, including the use of multidimensional statistical methods, which present several issues and limitations. Multicriteria analysis has emerged free from all the constraints faced by previous methodologies to provide solutions.

This book presents the contribution of multicriteria decision analysis through the examination of assessment systems and contemporary issues in economic and financial management. The reader of this book will encounter an anthology of studies on a range of topics related to financial analysis of private and public enterprises, banking institutions, hotel businesses, measurement and evaluation of mutual fund portfolios, health systems, economic development, and more.
