Interactive Multiple Goal Programming Applications to Financial Planning International Series in Management Science Operations Research Motivation The book "Interactive Multiple Goal Programming Applications to Financial Planning" is based on the idea that both public and private decision-making in practice can often be improved by using formal non-native decision models and methods. To some extent, the validity of this statement can be measured by the impressive number of successes of disciplines such as operations research and management science. However, as witnessed by the many discussions in professional journals in these fields, many models and methods do not completely meet the requirements of decision-making in practice. Of all possible origins of these clear shortcomings, we mainly focus on the fact that most of these models and methods are unsuitable for decision situations where multiple and potentially conflicting objectives play a role. The need to account for multiple goals was observed relatively early, as Hoffman [195] noted while describing "what seem to be the principal areas in linear programming where new ideas and new methods are needed. " In this problem, the assignment of relative weights is a significant issue for the planning staff and is "probably not the province of the mathematician engaged in solving this problem. " These remarks were true precursors of later developments. Nevertheless, the need for methods dealing with multiple goals was not widely recognized until much later when the field had developed further and was more mature.

Interactive Multiple Goal Programming Applications to Financial Planning International Series in Management Science Operations Research Motivation本「Interactive Multiple Goal Programming application apts to factics」は、形式的なモデルと意思決定方法を用いて、実際における公的な意思決定を することができることが多い。このステートメントの妥当性は、オペレーション・リサーチやマネジメント・サイエンスなどの分野において数多くの成功を収めたことである。しかし、これらの分野における専門誌での多数の議論によって証明されるように、多くのモデルや方法は、実際に意思決定の要件を完全に満たしていません。これらの明確な欠陥の可能性のあるすべての原因のうち、私たちは主に、これらのモデルと方法のほとんどが複数の相反する可能性のあるターゲットが役割を果たす意思決定の状況に適していないという事実に集中しています。ホフマンが指摘したように、複数の目標を検討する必要性は比較的早期に観察された［195］。「このタスクでは、相対的な重みの割り当ては、計画スタッフにとって不可欠な問題であり、「おそらく、この問題の解決に従事する数学の州ではありません。"これらの発言は、後の出来事の真の要因でした。しかし、いくつかの目標を達成するための方法の必要性は、フィールドがさらに開発され、より成熟した後まで広く認識されていませんでした。
