Abstract

Technology selection has a very crucial role to any company aiming for competitive advantage in the globalized world. In a competitive environment, firms try to meet customer demand and their increasing quality expectations, at the same time finding ways to decrease costs using factors such as flexibility, quality and innovativeness. Technology selection and evaluation problem have many criteria (both subjective and objective factors) that conflict with each other. To overcome this problem multi criteria decision making methods are developed. In this study MACBETH method is used to select and evaluate technology alternatives. Decision makers’ opinions are evaluated to rank the alternatives.
