Abstract
In this study, we evaluated the effects of the normalization procedures on decision out- comes of a given MADM method. For this aim, using the weights of a number of attributes calculated from FAHP method, we applied TOPSIS method to evaluate the financial performances of 13 Tur- kish deposit banks. In doing this, we used the most popular four normalization procedures. Our study revealed that vector normalization procedure, which is mostly used in the TOPSIS method by default, generated the most consistent results. Among the linear normalization procedures, max-min and max methods appeared as the possible alternatives to the vector normalization procedure.
