In particular, the model proposed aims at replicating the actual decision process accomplished by Florim S.p.a., an Italian ceramic tile firm which recently had the opportunity of buying a firm in the USA. The model is perfectly consistent with the evaluation process conducted by Florim’s experts and on the basis of the same data available to the expert’s panel, our expert system provides the same investment value and therefore the same solution to the decision process.
