“The book presents chapters detailing MCDA interventions, distinguished not by the methods or sectors involved, but by the unique complexities of each decision problem and the strategies used to address them. … Each chapter of the book starts with an introduction and concludes with a summary, thus making it easy to comprehend and assimilate the contents for its readers. The authors have generously acknowledged scholarly contributions by citing as also by authenticating the references at the end of each chapter.” (Jinal Parikh and Gerhard-Wilhelm Weber, IFORS News, Vol. 20 (3), September, 2025)
