Purpose The purpose of this paper is to apply data envelopment analysis (DEA) techniques to the collective decision-making environment to appraise two-stage production process under different decision preferences. Design/methodology/approach The authors propose a novel multi-criteria group decision-making approach that uses consensus-strategic data envelopment analysis (CSDEA) to appraise two-stage production process under two different decision strategies, which are efficiency- and fairness-based group decision preferences. Findings The authors find that the proposed CSDEA model evaluates the performance of the decision-making units (DMUs) not by diminishing other competitors but rather based on group interests of the entire decision set. Originality/value The authors extend Li’s two-stage model to cases that consider both intermediate inputs and outputs. The authors address the issue of incorporating collective managerial strategy into multi-criteria group decision-making and propose a novel CSDEA model that considers not only the individual-level performance of a DMU but also the group-level or collective decision strategies.

Abstract The linguistic terms in a balanced linguistic term set describing qualitative data are symmetrical around the central linguistic word. With the growing complexity of the problems, the symmetric linguistic term set appears to be confined. This work examines the multiple criteria group decision-making problems where decision-makers employ a 2-tuple unbalanced linguistic term set to provide entries of alternative-criteria matrices.We adopt a data envelopment analysis (DEA) method and create a linear programming model to evaluate alternative-criteria weights for each decision-maker. The value function from prospect theory models the non-rational aspect of risk in criteria. The values of prospect gain and prospect loss on cost and benefit criteria are computed and used to create a DEA model that evaluates the weights of each criterion on each alternative. Finally, the entropy values of the cross-efficiency scores deliver a ranking of the alternatives. A numerical example illustrates the proposed methodology
