This book is intended for researchers and postgraduates who are interested in the consensus
reaching process in group decision-making problems. It puts forward new optimization-based
decision support approaches to help decision-makers find roadmaps to consensus with minimum
adjustments. Simulation experiments and comparison analysis are subsequently conducted to
assess the validity of the proposal. After reading this book readers will possess a number of
valuable tools for building consensus with minimum adjustments in the context of group
decision-making. Further the proposed approach can effectively reduce costs in consensus
building.
