Judgement -Springer (1999)

A decision is a choice out of a number of ahernatives, and the choice is made in such a way that the preferred
alternative is the "best" among the possible candidates.
the decision maker does not only have the task to judge the performance of the alternatives in question under
each criterion, he/she also has to weigh the relative importance of the criteria in order to arrive at a global
judgement.
