Abstract

Facility location decisions are a critical element in strategic planning for multinational enterprises (MNEs). In this study, we propose a group fuzzy assessment method to tackle the facility location decisions for MNEs based on investment environment factors. Via the proposed group assessment model, our result will be more objective and unbiased since it is generated by a group of evaluators.
