In today's increasing complex and uncertain business environment, financial analysis is yet more critical to business managers who tackle the problems of an economic or business nature. Knowledge based on formal logic and even experience becomes less sufficient. This volume systematically sets out the basic elements on which to base financial analysis for business in the new century. It incorporates a previous work that can serve as the basis and foundation to the new contributions that are now being made in the field of financial economy and intend to provide business with instruments and models that are suitable for the treatment of the new economic context. In dealing with rapid and unpredictable changes in technological and business conditions, it postulates a growing reliance on the opinions of experts instead of past data or probabilistic forecasts, which is a radical change but may yield fruitful results. For this reason, much emphasis is devoted to the problem of aggregation of the opinion of experts in the financial field, with the object of limiting, wherever possible, the subjective component of the opinions and making sure that the decisions have the best guarantee of reaching the desired objectives

This research aims to reveal and quantify the magnitude of determination of economic activity on the welfare level of citizens. This is a crucial issue for all governments in Catalonia. In this research, Barcelona metropolitan area, the regions of the North Pyrenees and the rest of coastal and inland regions, each with different characteristics and specificities are analyzed. The governing institutions that manage the resources of the autonomous region, it is important that all citizens, regardless of where they live, can have the same level of welfare. For this reason, this research presents a first step in order to release the nature of the problem and to show to what extent, in quantitative terms, the economic activity types influence welfare. This analysis may guide the governors to take the necessary decisions in order to carry equal treatment to the all population.

This article presents a new aggregation system applied to fuzzy decision making. The fuzzy generalized unified aggregation operator (FGUAO) is a system that integrates many operators by adding a new aggregation process that considers the relevance that each operator has in the analysis. It also deals with an uncertain environment where the information is studied with fuzzy numbers. A wide range of particular cases and properties are studied. This approach is further extended by using quasi-arithmetic means. The paper ends studying the applicability in decision making problems regarding the European Union decisions. For doing so, the work uses a multi-person aggregation process obtaining the multi-person - FGUAO operator. An example concerning the fixation of the interest rate by the European Central Bank is presented.
