Given the various preferences, reaching a consensus about an ideal alternative becomes difficult even when people are cooperative. This study proposes a scientific evaluation and prioritization approach to solve GDM problems by combining multiplicative triangular hesitant fuzzy preference relations (MTHFPRs) and cooperative games method. The concept of MTHFPRs is initially defined, and the corresponding consistency measurements are introduced. Then, the aggregation method for MTHFPRs is proposed according to the cooperative games method. Furthermore, a GDM model using MTHFPRs (GDM-CMTHFPRs) is constructed to help a group of people assess and prioritize alternatives. Finally, the validity and feasibility of the proposed GDM-CMTHFPRs method are verified by an illustration along with some discussions. %8 2017-08-01
