“…Various methods are available for supporting complex decisions in construction. Some of them are as follows: Kaklauskas et al (2012) proposed a Passive House model for quantitative and qualitative analyses; in Kuzman et al (2013) AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) was used to compare passive house construction types; Brown et al (2013) used decision making for assessing renovation; in the work of Bucoń and Sobotka (2015), the alternatives of residential building repair are evaluated, while Cannemi et al (2014), Bhanot and Jha (2012) used decision making as a support tool for policy making; in Kalibatas et al (2011Kalibatas et al ( , 2012, Zavadskas et al (2016) the indoor environment was evaluated from the perspective of an ideal alternative; in the work of Chen et al (2014) MADM was used for evaluating the impacts of VOC emissions in the US single-family houses; Hopfe et al (2013) assessed building performance; in Książek et al (2015) decision-making in construction project development was described; in Zagorskas et al (2014) MADM was used for evaluating thermal insulation alternatives of historical brick buildings in the Baltic Sea Region and Augutis et al (2014) used MADM for assessing energy infrastructure.

There are many various methods, techniques and materials for constructing multifunctional inverted flat roofs now. However, in practice, the constructed roofs of this type often have various defects, whose elimination is rather costly. To solve this problem, the analysis of multifunctional inverted flat roofs has been performed and their advantages and disadvantages, as well as building defects and mistakes made in the course of construction, have been demonstrated. Damp-proofing materials available on the market for making waterproofing membranes for multifunctional inverted flat roofs have been evaluated. The problem of choosing the most effective membrane alternative for the investigated type of roofs is solved by analysing ten alternatives with the help of multi-criteria evaluation method, SAW and three game theory rules determined by Hurwicz, Laplace and Bayes, as well as LEVI 3.0 program. The analysis of the results has shown that the alternative No. 5 is the best membrane alternative among the ten considered options.

“…Over the last decade scientists and researchers have developed a set of new MCDM methods (Kaplinski & Tupenaite, 2011;Antucheviciene et al, 2011;Kaplinski & Tamosaitiene, 2010;Tamosaitiene et al, 2010). They modified methods and applied them to solve practical and scientific problems (Kalibatas et al, 2011;Ginevicius et al, 2008a;. Solving of modern decision making problems in most cases is based on integrated model of different approaches.…”
In recent decades, Marketing management and Advertising have been major concepts in business field. The main reason that attracts attention to them is growth of competition among companies. There are different ways to increase the competition in organizations such as improving productivity by acquiring information technology. In this paper hybrid MCDM methods applied for selecting Advertising strategy by considering product life cycle of products. Growth stage is one of the critical situations for companies and advertising has an important role in this step. Hence Growth stage selected as a case study for this research and the proposed model is implemented for most famous Iranian's factory in food industry, Kalleh. Five criteria are selected as important criteria by studying in literature and experts decision include: Audience fit, Content, Impression rate, Monthly cost and Look and feel. In this article Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) applied for calculating weight of each criterion and finally TOPSIS grey applied for selecting the best Advertising strategy among Television, Radio, Newspaper, Internet & SMS and Environmental advertising. The results of this research illustrated that monthly cost, content and educational level, are three important criteria in advertising strategy and also newspaper is the best way for advertising and after that television is next and radio, environmental advertising and internet & SMS are after those in this case in Growth step of Product Life Cycle. This research can be useful as a valuable framework for companies and different industries. Each company in different industry can apply this methodology and develop that due to their needs and priority.

Numerous alternatives exist for foundation systems and construction technologies. The systems can be described by different criteria values which are incorporated in the conventional design process. Decision on the most suitable construction technology is vital for success and depends on many effectiveness criteria. The business success depends on the right choice. The mandate of a construction management researcher is to use rational, systematic, science-based techniques to inform and improve various decisions. The paper presents multiple criteria decision making model for selection of a pile-column technology. The technological criteria are determined by an experimental study. Based on in-situ investigation of natural soil conditions, criteria values are determined. The decision making model incorporates five different methods and techniques. To solve a problem, it uses three multiple criteria decision making methods. Integrated criteria weights are determined by using the analytic hierarchy process and the expert judgement method. This model could be used to solve complicated problems pertaining to the selection of a construction technology.
