“…Insisting on a single valued objective score leads to inevitable aggregation of disparate quantities, requiring assumptions that many decision makers find intolerable and leading to inaccurate results. RBOs have the flexibility to incorporate established methods from the field of multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) (Belton and Stewart 2001;Figuera et al 2005) and are well poised to borrow strategies from MCDA methods based on pairwise comparisons, such as Regime (Hinloopen et al 1983) or the multiplicative analytic hierarchy process (Lootsma 1993). In addition, Loomes and Sugden (1982) propose a model of regret and rejoice that is based on examining two alternatives at a time.…”

This paper presents a new approach to the solution of the well-studied conservation area network design problem (CANP), which is closely related to the classical set cover problem (SCP). The goal is to find the smallest amount of land that (when placed under conservation) will contain and protect a specified representation level of biodiversity resources. A new tabu search methodology is applied to an extension of the "basic" CANP which explicitly considers additional spatial requirements for improved conservation planning. The underlying search engine, modular adaptive self-learning tabu search (MASTS), incorporates state-of-the-art techniques including adaptive tabu search, dynamic neighborhood selection, and rule-based objectives. The ability to utilize intransitive orderings within a rule-based objective gives the search flexibility, improving solution quality while saving computation. This paper demonstrates how rule-based objectives can be used to design near optimal conservation area networks in which the individual conservation areas are well connected. The results represent a considerable improvement over classical techniques that do not consider spatial features. This paper provides an initial description of ConsNet, a comprehensive software package for systematic conservation planning.

“…The technical efficiency of outsourcing can be measured by parametric and non-parametric evaluation methods, which permit simultaneous comparison of the inputs and outputs of an outsourcing and in-house service production and produce concise indicators of efficiency. Considering the nature of the public organisations involved in our analysis, we decided to use a particular non-parametric method, the Method of best values of indicators (MBVI), which is encountering growing consensus as a powerful tool to measure public organisations productivity because it allows the heterogeneity of delivered outputs to be taken into account [18,19,20].…”

-Outsourcing internal services to private for-profit and non-profit firms is one of the most prevalent types of alternative service-delivering arrangements. The relevant literature proposes that outsourcing may, but need not, improve cost-effectiveness and the quality of service delivery. The efficiency of outsourcing is determined by policy and management capacities, resources and experience in public sector of specific country. This paper seeks to analyze the efficiency of outsourcing in the Czech public sector by using the multicriteria analysis (MBVI method, used to construct composite efficiency scores). The study uses a quantitative approach to investigate the research question and analyzes the originally collected survey data from own research. The results are slightly complicated -our analysis does not show one uniform trend, cannot answer if outsourcing is better solution as compared to internal production. However, such findings are in line with international experience, indicating that the success of outsourcing depends on many internal and external factors and cannot be universalised.

In this study different methodological approaches are used and described by many features (indicators) of complex socio-economic process. Outcome of analysis has the most reliable and acceptable representation of the studied process specific to chosen case. In order to solve problems in this area (depending on the situation, case under consideration), methods from two groups are most often used: multidimensional comparative analysis and multi-criteria decision analysis. The first of these cases concern problems at the macro level (socio-economic development, demographic situation, population's living standards, etc.), in which the decisionmaker's participation is relatively small (eg the selection of diagnostic variables or expert assessment). The second of these groups include issues in which the decisionmaker's participation is significant which are subjective to the decisions taken and reflects his or her preferences. Among the decision support methods, one can also distinguish those that have both the characteristics of methods from the area of multidimensional comparative analysis and multi-criteria decision analysis. The article presents the combination of both trends exposing maximum possibilities of using selected methods used in the decision making by Polish schools. The general methodological assumptions, advantages of having approaches discussed (in relation to other known methods) as well as the applied aspects (exemplary applications) also presented.
