The purpose of this paper is to observe how to invest in upper-middle income countries via an innovation perspective following global innovation index (GII) by multicriteria decision aid (MCDA) approach, once MCDA was designed to support subjective decisions.,Pearson’s correlation was the milestone for understanding innovation indicators at upper-middle income countries profiles. In a MCDA first step, the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) was applied to obtain the criteria weight. In this step, the judgments or evaluations inputted in AHP were collected from a sample composed by five experts in GII. After getting the criteria weights compose to GII, Borda and Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations (PROMETHEE) methods were applied to obtain an MCDA-based GII. The inputs for this second step were: the weights come from AHP output; and the countries performance came from GII data.,As a result, it was found out the upper-middle countries’ rank to invest and groups with countries acting like “hubs” or “bridges” for economic sectors in near countries; when they are grouped according to their maximum and minimum scores profiles, observing not only a particular region but also similar profiles at diverse world areas.,Pearson-AHP-PROMETHEE works as a supportive decision tool for several and complex investment perspectives from criteria and alternatives analysis regarding innovation indicators for upper-middle income countries. This combination also demonstrates grouping possibilities, aligning profiles and not only ranking countries for investment and eliminating others but also grouping countries with similar profiles via innovation indicators MCDA combined application.

创新中上等收入国家投资的多标准决策选择

本文的目的是观察如何通过多标准决策辅助（MCDA）方法遵循全球创新指数（GII），通过创新视角在中上等收入国家进行投资，一旦MCDA被设计为支持主观决策。是了解中高收入国家概况中创新指标的里程碑。在MCDA的第一步中，应用层次分析法（AHP）获得标准权重。在此步骤中，AHP中输入的判断或评估是从GII的五位专家组成的样本中收集的。在获得由GII组成的标准权重后，采用了Borda和“富裕度评估的优先排序组织方法”（PROMETHEE）方法来获得基于MCDA的GII。第二步的输入是：权重来自AHP输出；结果，发现中等偏上国家在与附近国家的经济部门起着“集线器”或“桥梁”作用的国家中进行投资和分组的排名；当根据最大和最小分数配置文件对它们进行分组时，Pearson-AHP-PROMETHEE不仅可以观察特定区域，还可以观察世界不同地区的相似配置文件。从标准和替代方案来看，它们是支持多个复杂投资角度的决策工具中高收入国家创新指标的分析。这种组合还展示了分组的可能性，
