Abstract
With increasing globalization, local retailers find themselves having to compete with large foreign players by targeting niche markets. To excel and flaunt as a market leader in an ultramodern era and a globalize world, the organizations must strive to harvest from its marketing strategies, benchmarking and company quality policy. Ranking and selecting projects is a relatively common, yet often difficult task. It is complicated because there is usually more than one dimension for measuring the impact of each criteria and more than one decision maker. This paper considers a real application of project selection for the marketing mix element, using an approach called ELECTRE.
