Journal of the Northeastern Agricultural Economics Council, 1980, vol. 09, issue 01, 6

Abstract: Two approaches to formal multiple objective decision analysis are described , illustrated and compared. These two approaches, generating techniques and goal programming, are illustrated by the solution of a simple numerical example. This solution combined with some lessons from the field of psychology provide a basis for some judgments on the relative merits of the approaches.
