This article presents an application of the multicriteria method PROMÉTHÉE V to the problem of prioritizing telecommunication projects. The study was conducted inside of a major telecommunications company in Brazil. The adherence to a multicriteria approach allowed for taking into consideration technical as well as non technical evaluation criteria. Using PROMÉTHÉE V was particularly appropriate not only because the method performed an initial ranking of the set of projects, but also because it led to a constrained optimization of the obtained selection. It is then concluded that the application of PROMÉTHÉE V to the problem in question achieved its key purpose in the sense of organizing and solving a complex process of decision analysis. It also provided for interactivity during the analysis and useful simulations, giving transparency to the analysis and thus providing for a common base of understanding for all involved.

this paper purpose is aligning innovation indicators regarding Ignacy Sach's sustainability dimensions. The methodology applies multicriteria decision for ordering countries according to the innovation indicators most sustainable founded at Sachs' dimensions alignment. Innovation indicators were considered about their impact as each one of eight Sach's sustainability dimensions impact. Regarding methodology, this paper proposes a hybrid method SMARTS-Choquet with SMARTS-TOPSIS' to use in sensibility analysis. Multicriteria decision aid (MCDA) used considered selection and ordination. Results show eleven countries from 127 sustained their ranking positions using SMARTS-TOPSIS; whilst 126 countries changed completely using SMARTS-Choquet application, provoking a different perspective for investments in these countries; considering MCDA sensibility analysis. The Methodology consider innovation indicators' relevance, strongest indicators from each dimension, where selection for ordering a ranking where the sustainability aligned to innovation promotes a ranking with the countries more innovative but also sustainable countries.
