Scaling things up: Large group decision making (LGDM)

Abstract

What is a Large Group Decision Making problem? What differentiates them from the conventional Group Decision Making problems and approaches introduced in the previous chapter, and what are the added complexities of supporting high-quality decisions to be made by large groups? The present chapter aims at introducing and contextualizing this relatively new area of research, highlighting its main limitations of challenges and discussing some of its newly related disciplines, as witnessed in recent research.
