This paper proposes a model to evaluate business projects to get into an incubator, allowing to rank them in order of selection priority. The model combines the Momentum method to build prospective scenarios and the AHP-TOPSIS-2N Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) method to rank the alternatives. Six business projects were evaluated to be incubated. The Momentum method made it possible for us to create an initial core of criteria for the evaluation of incubation projects. The AHP-TOPSIS-2N method supported the decision to choose the company to be incubated by ranking the alternatives in order of relevance. Our evaluation model has improved the existing models used by incubators. This model can be used and/or adapted by any incubator to evaluate the business projects to be incubated. The set of criteria for the evaluation of incubation projects is original and the use of prospective scenarios with an MCDM method to evaluate companies to be incubated does not exist in the literature.
Military issues have great relevance worldwide since they affect the security and sovereignty of nations. In this context, the application of Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods is important because accurate decision-making is the deciding factor for success, which can reduce expenses and increase defense capacity. This paper aims to present a literature review on the main applications of MCDA in the military area, considering the tactical, operational and strategic spheres. The methodology includes a bibliometric study and literature review of documents from the Scopus and Web of Science databases. The bibliometric study identified the document type, language, year of publication, authors, author network, author's publications, affiliation, keyword clusters, the field of knowledge, country and the main applied MCDA methods in military problems. The literature review allows us to verify that, as well as in other areas of knowledge, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is the most applied MCDA method in the military area.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
