Abstract

In the process of investment decision making, next to financial indicators many other aspects of investment projects are increasingly often considered. This leads to the multi-criteria evaluation of a project. In the work one compared results of multi-criteria evaluation of the investment projects realized by using TOPSIS and AHP methods with results obtained at the use of rule-based methods, especially fuzzy reasoning techniques. To comparisons were used chosen investments in the metallurgical industry. The work finish conclusions defined on the basis carried out calculations.
