Properties of the utility function in methods of MCDM
KADLEC, Josef
This thesis was concetrated on the value of utility function properties in the application of multi-criteria variance estimation models. The aim was to identify the deficiencies in the current utility function and to find the optimal alternative. Our study is based on the analysis of a case example involving the selection of an apartment for a student seeking accommodation. The relevance of different features of the utility function and their influence on the overall evaluation and decision making was investigated. Analytical methods and models were used to quantify this issue. The thesis was concluded by discussing the impact of identified utility function deficiencies on the evaluation results and suggesting a more appropriate utility function for multi-criteria variant evaluation applications. This study was sought to contribute to a better understanding of the influence of utility function characteristics on the quality of evaluation and decision making in multi-criteria analysis.

This Ph.D. thesis examines characteristics of Business Angel investors in the Czech Republic and their attitudes to evaluation of investment projects. The research is based on primary data obtained by interviewing active Business Angel investors operating in the Czech Republic. The characteristics of Business Angel investors and their attitudes in investment decision making and subsequent monitoring of investments are analysed. Business Angel investors were also asked how they perceive external environment. The topics and questions listed in the interviews result from a systematic literature review. Based on the results of the interviews, an elimination model was developed to capture the preferences of individual Business Angel investors. The model represents a tool supporting entrepreneurs while determining the probability that their project will not be rejected without a deeper examination. Therefore, the model supports entrepreneurs to set the parameters of their projects to increase the likelihood that a Business Angel investor will undergo a detailed due diligence process.

In following parts of this work is introduced a real database of insurance company’s clients, which serves as a basis to accomplish the defined goal. The source data were subject to a necessary analysis to determine the cross-correlations and variables entering the decision-making model. A large variety of traditional statistical methods, including relevant software were used to analyze the data. Decision-making model was formed with the help of artificial intelligence methods, especially fuzzy logic. The technical realization of the model was made using MATLAB software. The process of insurance company’s client solvency assessment methodology creation is described in detail and elaborated into phases. The fundamental part of the methodology, decision-making model, can be easily modified and adapted to the end user’s specific needs.
