Research and Development Project Priotization. An Annotated Bibliography.
Abstract
This report is based upon research concerned with the aggregation of multiple lists of rank-ordered research and development (R&D) projects or product requirements needing R&D. The resultant prioritized list serves as a basis for resource allocation to the R&D projects. The rank orders are ordinal and without feedback or strategy. The extensive literature of this field of study -- social choice -- is structured and analyzed. A companion document, an Industrial Engineering Management Dissertation by Dobbins, builds upon the literature foundation to classify the known majority-rule aggregation methods, evaluate them, and develop a model and computer code using the better methods to compute the aggregation of up to 100 rank-ordered lists of up to 100 alternatives.
