Abstract

In this paper, a sequential selection process in group decision making under linguistic assessments is presented, where a set of linguistic preference relations represents individuals preferences. A collective linguistic preference is obtained by means of a defined linguistic ordered weighted averaging operator whose weights are chosen according to the concept of fuzzy majority, specified by a fuzzy linguistic quantifier. Then we define the concepts of linguistic non-dominance, linguistic dominance, and strict dominance degrees as parts of the sequential selection process. The solution alternative(s) is obtained by applying these concepts.
