Abstract
The selection of strategies of an organization is a multi criteria decision making method. Therefore, the main propose of this study was using one of the methods of multi criteria decision making under uncertainty (Grey System Theory) to evaluate and rank the Strategies of handball development in Semnan province. The research method is analytical – descriptive. The Statistical sample of this study were experts of Handball in Semnan province (n =41 for SWOT Analysis and n=8 for experts group). In this study, based on gray systems theory the weight of each criteria determined for all the options, and then using the Grey Possibility Degree, ranking strategies were performed. Based on the results, 9 strategies were evaluated using nine criteria. Finally, Handball development Strategies of Semnan province were ranked on the basis of relevant criteria. Since strategic planning is done in conditions of uncertainty, using multiple criteria decision making under uncertainty can improve decision making.
