Knowledge Based Group Decision-making Workflow Model

Enterprises decision-making effectiveness largely depends on their decision-makers' personal abilities. Due to the increasing uncertainty and complexity, a single decision-maker with bounded rationality often can't comprehensively consider the whole aspect of decision problem. To solve the complex decision problems, it is an increasing need for most enterprise decision-makers to evaluate every alternative collaboratively. Group decision-making is especially important for the real estate enterprise managers because their invested projects have to analyze the complex cause-effect relationship and then take productive actions based on the analysis. On-line group decision-making is a good solution for them to fulfill collaborative decision-making process with the help of convenient communication. Thus a new model of on-line knowledge based group decision-making is proposed to integrate different experts' knowledge by data fusion. Workflow technology is applied to process model design to control the executions of information communication. With the support of online group decision-making workflow system, enterprise managers and distributed experts can make decisions coordinately. In the end, the enterprise will be better-off by reducing the costs of information transfer and enhancing the efficiencies of decision-making.
