Summary/Abstract: The selection process of R & D projects is a process appropriate to the use of multi-criteria decision making techniques in terms of criteria and alternatives. In this study, the problem of prioritization and selection of 5 R & D projects of a small-scale company is considered as a multi-criteria decision-making model. A total of 16 criteria were identified by decisionmakers as the basis for project evaluations. The first stage of the decision process is the step of determining the strong criteria by the Dematel method. Three different criteria sets were found by running the Dematel Method for different threshold values. In the second stage, 5 decision makers who were competent in evaluating the projects were surveyed. In the last stage, TOPSIS method was used for 3 different set of criteria based on survey data and a prioritized ranking among alternative R & D projects was obtained. The multicriteria decision process has provided multidimensional and objective assessment to decision makers for the selection and prioritization of R & D projects.
