Managerial decision-making is a complex procedure which combines information both in numerical as well as in linguistic form. In this paper, we present a general decision-making methodology which utilizes several intelligent soft-computing techniques, namely the theory of evaluative linguistic expressions, perception-based logical deduction and fuzzy transform. These techniques fulfil the above requirement and so, we are convinced that they can effectively fulfil the needs of managers and provide them with a tool that can help them to obtain a relevant decision. The methodology is demonstrated on an example.
