The importance of technology management is a vital determinant of long-run success or failure of organizations in today s world. Since technology is a major driver of the global economic development, business professionals seek more effective ways to manage existing and emerging technology. This study proposes a model to understand the links between competitive advantages, competitive prioritie...

The electronic learning (e-learning) has gradually become more and more important in today’s school in Taiwan. Many colleges and universities offer distance e-learning courses or programs for students. An effective teaching or learning through a distance web e-learning system depends on many factors (or criteria). The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) model is suitable for dealing with the multi...

This study develops a model for selecting Korean dramas based on TV station manager’s perceptions. First, the proposed model adopts the modified Delphi method to find out the suitable evaluative criteria of Korean dramas. Next, the model apply the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to determine the relative weights of evaluative criteria, then ranks the alternatives and selects the best Korean dr...

The analytic network process (ANP) is presented as a potentially valuable method to support the selection of projects in a research and development (R&D) environment. This paper first discusses the requirements of the R&D project selection problem, which requires the allocation of resources to a set of competing and often disparate project proposals. Among the factors complicating this task is ...

The present study illustrates the application of analytical hierarchy process (AHP) to a decision-making problem. AHP is a popular and powerful method for solving multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems. An attempt is made here to initialize the use of multicriteria decision-making methods for ranking alternatives that curb student absenteeism. Through the expert opinions, the criteri...

With the development of electronic information technique, electronic ecommerce grows rapidly, including B2C electronic commerce company. The evaluation of customer value in B2C electronic commerce company is a multiple-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem with many quantitative and qualitative attributes. This paper proposes fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) approach to evaluate cust...

The credit risk evaluation of corporate bond is one of the difficult and hot research fields in the related research and plays a key role for corporate financing. Based on the fuzzy theory and analytic hierarchy process, a new credit risk evaluation model of corporate bond is presented. First an evaluation indicator system of credit risk of corporate bond is designed through analyzing the chara...

In this study, we present an integrated method of Analytical Hierarchy Process based on interval type-2 fuzzy sets (IT2FAHP) and Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Ideal Solution based on on interval type-2 fuzzy sets (IT2FTOPSIS). The applicability of the proposed integrated method was performed on a case study of evaluation of life quality for 28 European Union Countries and oth...

The use of interval judgment in the analytical hierarchy process, called Interval Analytic Hierarchy Process (IAHP), has begun to grow in many decision making environments, providing an e ective means of modeling the presence of uncertainty in a decision makers judgment or representing comparisons in group decision making. Linear programming method can be used for generating weights in that sit...

This paper concerns with proposing a fuzzy logic based expert system to breakthrough the problem of alternatives evaluation in Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). AHP as a multi criteria decision aid helped decision makers for analyzing and prioritizing the alternatives in a hierarchical structure. During times AHP encountered some problems. Hence, fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) and some...
