Abstract
This study presents a TOPSIS-based application for the evaluation of administrative purposes on the website of university's departments. As the school age population decreases, the homepage of the university's departments also has important promotional means. However, most of them are not well managed until a full renewal. This is because the investment is difficult compared to strategic importance. Therefore, this paper tries to show its usefulness by applying a partially modified TOPSIS for management purposes, in consideration of the practicality. TOPSIS is appropriate for target management as a conceptual reason to prioritize based on the distance from the ideal target for each criterion. Also, in the case of monotonic functions of the evaluation criteria used, the same results can be obtained by reducing the amount of calculations through a partially modified procedure as presented in this study.
