Defuzzify firstly or finally: Dose it matter in fuzzy DEMATEL under
  uncertain environment?
  Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method is widely
used in many real applications. With the desirable property of efficient
handling with the uncertain information in decision making, the fuzzy DEMATEL
is heavily studied. Recently, Dytczak and Ginda suggested to defuzzify the
fuzzy numbers firstly and then use the classical DEMATEL to obtain the final
result. In this short paper, we show that it is not reasonable in some
situations. The results of defuzzification at the first step are not coincide
with the results of defuzzification at the final step.It seems that the
alternative is to defuzzification in the final step in fuzzy DEMATEL.
