Abstract

Purpose

–

The purpose of this paper is to propose a new group decision‐making approach, which can only use simple mathematical calculations to perform a group decision‐making task.

Design/methodology/approach

–

The large column and large row (LCLR) method is designed and applied.

Findings

–

The paper finds four propositions to support LCLR methods to be a simple and effectual means for group decision making.

Research limitations/implications

–

The aggregated matrix constructed in LCLR methods should be generated from non‐contradictory circles.

Practical implications

–

Effective group decision‐making results can be obtained by easily used methods, not necessarily by using complex mathematics technology to conduct the task.

Originality/value

–

The new approach based on LCLR methods proposed in this paper may be one of the most easily used and effective means for group decision making.
