Abstract: This paper aims to conduct a systematic literature review regarding the application of multicriteria techniques for consensus in group decision making. It is presented as a framework that consists of the following steps: formalisation of research concepts, aim and question; strings input into the Web of Science, Scopus and Emerald databases; removal of duplicates and results classification by year of publication, country, consensus approach, information representation, applied technique and application theme. The results were stratified in the categories: supplier selection, project selection, equipment selection, location selection, investment selection and risk evaluation. The developed framework can be applied for guiding other reviews. The identification of consensus techniques and information representation is also of importance to provide insights for managers. Another finding is the differentiation between the mapped consensus approaches. Finally, future research opportunities were brought to light.
