  • First Online:

Abstract

Our objective in this chapter is to present Competence Set Analysis with respect to decision-making. Competence set is a tool to evaluate the capacity of a decision-maker to solve a problem. Moreover, we formulate routine, mixed routine, fuzzy, and challenging decision-making problems (see Sect. 2.2, Chap. 2), including covering and discovering problems, in terms of competence set. This chapter will pave the way for Chap. 6, where we formulate and find acceptable or wonderful solutions to DMCS problems using the concept of competence set, HD theory and the 7-8-9 principles explained in Chap. 4.
