Abstract
In this chapter, we shall present two main results that we accomplished in the fields of financial management and strategic investment planning. Applying our theoretical results, we will discuss the development of two soft decision support models in detail, which use possibility distributions to describe and characterize the uncertainty about future payoffs.
