Abstract
Presents the findings concerning a search for an objective way of assessing the quality of commercially-available, multi-criteria decision support software. As hardware prices continue to decline, consumers are spending relatively large sums of money on software. There is a powerful need for decision makers to justify these cash outlays based on the impact on the quality of the decisions made using multi-criteria tools. After a thorough literary search for such an assessment uncovered the lack of field-tested assessment batteries, develops an evaluation tool and undertakes an experiment to gain insight on the performance of this evaluation tool.
