RT Book, Section SR 00 ID 10.1007/978-3-0348-5495-5_28 A1 Keeney, R.L. T1 Multiattribute Utility Analysis — a Brief Survey YR 1976 FD 1976 SP 534 OP 550 AB The role of multiattribute utility theory is first placed in the overall context of decision analysis. Then an approach that has proven useful in adapting the theory to be a practical tool is illustrated. Several cases where multiattribute utility has been used are briefly discussed. These include both operational and strategic problems involving, for example, siting of large-scale facilities (airports, power plants), medical treatment, the structuring of corporate objectives, environmental management, and personal investment strategy.
