Clasificación multicriterio: una regla simple para tratar problemas complejos

Abstract

Complex problems require new approaches to be addressed, and these approaches require new operational instruments. It describes multicriteria classification --a comprehensive generalisation of the traditional enumeration and sorting in row-- as a method that allows the simultaneous handling of multiple criteria or dimensions of value for an objective accounting from which, without paradox, arises the need for a subjective decision, showing that the final priority must lie on the processes and not on the objects. It also examines its role in the new foundation of historical systems science (or Natural History).
