ANALYZING PRIORITY VECTORS: GOING BEYOND INCONSISTENCY INDEXES

A great concern when utilizing the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is how final priority vector, resulting from inconsistent analysis, behaves compared with original ranking, consistent analysis. The AHP utilizes an inconsistency index to predict rank reversal. In addition of AHP, several authors have worked on developing alternative indexes, goal improving predictability However, indexes do not help clarify whether a reversal rejectable outcome or, some extent, correct answer. may express priority, particularly positions in small weight differences among them. Therefore, it very important develop method allow clear and definitive analysis disturbed weights ranking vectors are their rankings. Such developed here its utilization demonstrated by analyzing corporate governance scenario.
