Abstract
Group consensus decision-making refers to achieving a consensus result accepted by more decision makers with a certain stability. The consensus stability is mainly affected by game conflicts among decision makers. Therefore, considering super conflict analysis as the ideological basis and the minimum cost consensus model as the method basis, this paper establishes a grey target negotiation consensus model. The model can achieve game negotiation in the grey target region and determine a super continuous stable consensus bull’s-eye. Firstly, this paper proposes a generalized super conflict analysis framework in group decision-making and defines several concepts of conflict stability. Then, we integrate minimum cost consensus and grey target decision to set up a condition that meets the super conflict equilibrium and propose a grey target negotiation consensus model. Finally, an emission reduction consensus from Chinese manufacturing enterprises is applied to verify the rationality of the model.
