Abstract.Choosing a tenant is a key issue in the housing rental market. Knowing, a priori, whether a tenant will pay the rent on time, be able to hold a good relationship with the neighbors or take care of the property (i.e. whether s/he will be a "good" tenant) is not a simple endeavor. It is crucial, however, as it can help save time, money and conflicts that can end up in court. This study aims to address this issue, through the integrated use of cognitive maps and the Decision EXpert (DEX) technique. Grounded on a constructivist logic, the study brought together a panel of experts with experience and knowledge in the residential rental market, in order to identify and articulate the criteria to be taken into account in the classification and selection of tenants. The results achieved show that the integration of these two methodologies (i.e. cognitive maps and DEX) can help increase our understanding of the decision problem at hand, and lead to more informed and potentially better tenant choices. Advantages and limitations of the framework are also discussed.

“…It is also context-dependent, because cognitive maps are always contingent on the decision circumstances, participants involved, facilitator skills and session duration, for instance (cf. Ferreira, Marques, Bento, Ferreira, & Jalali, 2015c). However, the focus in problem structuring methods, such as cognitive mapping, is on the discussion and learning that develop through their application: "there is less emphasis on outputs per se and more focus on process" (Bell & Morse, 2013, p. 962).…”

“…This paper aims to do that by integrating cognitive mapping with the TODIM methodan integrated combination that, to the best of our knowledge, has not yet been applied to the field of IEO. Although this combination of methodologies is new, it should be underlined that this study is based on previous work by Ferreira et al (2015c). In that study, the integrated use of cognitive mapping with the measuring attractiveness by a categorical evaluation technique (MACBETH) was proposed for IEO measurement and management.…”

“…It has been successfully applied in different contexts, with promising results in terms of the potential applications and implications of such integrated methodologies (e.g. Ferreira et al 2011;Ferreira et al 2012;Filipe et al 2015;Ferreira et al 2015c). The combination of cognitive mapping with the TODIM technique in the area of EO, and IEO in particular, however, is to the best of our knowledge novel; and expected to yield many of the same benefits in terms of transparency, comprehensiveness and ability to promote learning.…”

Entrepreneurship, and individuals' predisposition toward entrepreneurial activities in particular, i.e. Individual Entrepreneurial Orientation (IEO), has been gaining increasing relevance in academia and management practice alike. Understanding IEO is a critical element not only for its promotion, but for better and more informed managerial and investor decision making as well. As such, this study proposes a new framework for understanding and measuring IEO based on the integrated use of cognitive mapping and the interactive multiple criteria decision making (TODIM) method. We present the steps for building such a framework, as well as a practical application of these steps. The results are promising: the methodology applied allowed a large number of determinants of IEO and their relationships to be mapped; and, subsequently, ranked and weighted for the creation of an IEO measurement tool. The implications of the resulting framework for theory and practice, its limitations and possibilities for further research are also discussed.
