Project management by multimoora as an instrument for transition economies

Abstract

The countries of Central and Eastern Europe moved from a previously centrally planned economy to a modern transition economy with strong market aspects. This paper proposes project management as an answer to this transition. Traditional Cost‐Benefit analysis does not respond to this purpose. Indeed Cost‐Benefit analysis is only interested in one specific project and not in a competition between projects. In addition all goals (objectives) have to be translated into money terms, leading sometimes to immoral consequences. On the contrary Multi‐Objective Optimization takes care of different objectives, whereas the objectives keep their own units. However different methods exist for the application of Multi‐Objective Optimization. The authors tested them after their robustness resulting in seven necessary conditions. MOORA (Multi‐Objective Optimization by Ratio analysis) and MULTIMOORA (MOORA plus Full Multiplicative Form), assisted by Ameliorated Nominal Group and Delphi Techniques, satisfy the seven conditions, although in a theoretical way. A simulation exercise illustrates the use of these methods, ideals to be strived for as much as possible.

Santrauka

Centrines ir rytu Europos šalys perejo iš anksčiau centralizuotai planuojamos ūkines sistemos i šiuolaikine pereinamaja ūkine sistema, kuriai būdingi ryškūs rinkos požymiai. Šiame straipsnyje siūloma projektu vadyba kaip atsakas i perejima. Iprastine kainos ir naudos analize tam tikslui yra netinkama. Be viso to, kainos ir naudos analizeje neatsižvelgiama i kiekviena atskirai paimta projekta bei i konkurencija tarp tu projektu. Visi tikslai turi būti pakeisti piniginemis vertemis. Del to kartais kyla nepageidaujamu pasekmiu. Priešingai tam daugiatiksle optimizacija atsižvelgia i skirtingus tikslus, išsaugant tikslams būdingus mato vienetus. Yra daug ivairiu daugiatiksles optimizacijos metodu. Autoriai patikrino ju stipriasias savybes pagal septynias būtinasias salygas. MOORA (daugiatiksle optimizacija santykiu dydžiu analizes pagrindu) ir MULTIMOORA (MOORA plius pilnoji sandaugos forma), apimanti patobulinta normaliuju grupiu ir Delphi būdus, geriausiai atitinka septynias būtinasias salygas taip pat ir teoriniu lygmeniu. Pavyzdžio modelis iliustruoja šiu metodu taikyma, idealai buvo pasiekti tiek, kiek galima.
