“…Behzadian et al (2010) enumerated 195 papers, from its conception until 2008, where PROMETHEE is applied in environment management (47 papers), business and financial management (25), hydrology and water management (28), chemistry (24), logistics and transportation (19), manufacturing and assembly (19), energy management (17), social (7), design (2), agriculture (2), education (2), sports (1), information technology (1) and medicine (1) . Recently, PROMETHEE has been used in water management (Kodikara et al, 2010;Silva et al, 2010), banking (Doumpos & Zopounidis, 2010), energy management (Ghafghazi et al, 2010;Oberschmidt et al, 2010), manufacturing and assembly (Kwak & Kim, 2009;Saidi Mehrabad & Anvari, 2010;Tuzkaya et al, 2010;Venkata Rao & Patel, 2010;Zhu et al, 2010), logistics and transportation (Lanza & Ude, 2010;Safaei Mohamadabadi et al, 2009;Semaan & Zayed, 2010), quality (Nikolic et al), chemistry (Cornelissen et al, 2009;Ni et al, 2009), maritime commerce (Castillo-Manzano et al, 2009), strategy (Ghazinoory et al, 2009), project management (Halouani et al, 2009), construction (Castillo-Manzano et al, 2009;Frenette et al, 2010), urban development (Juan et al, 2010), location analysis (Luk et al, 2010), environment (Nikolić et al, 2010;Soltanmohammadi et al, 2009;Zhang et al, 2010;Zhang et al, 2009), safety (Ramzan et al, 2009) and e-commerce (Andreopoulou et al, 2009).
