Product Description
The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and its generalization to dependence and feedback, the Analytic Network Process (ANP), are methods of relative measurement of tangibles and intangibles. Being able to derive such measurements is essential for making good decisions. This book is based on the Analytic Network Process and lays out a new approach for making decisions in light of their benefits, opportunities, costs and risks (BOCR) shows how to include the strategic criteria of the decision-maker that must be satisfied regardless of the particular decision being undertaken. This book includes all the important background material from the earlier book, The Analytic Network Process: Decision Making with Dependence and Feedback, published in 2001, and goes farther with new examples of estimating market share of companies based on the intangibles of customer perception, and new applications involving Benefits, Opportunities, Costs and Risks.

3 out of 5 starsUseful, but dense, 2007-12-28
I bought this book for a class, and it was a useful reference, but it was very dense and math-intensive. It may not be for everyone unless you have a strong math background.

4 out of 5 starsComment on ANP, 2001-04-10
This book on ANP is very useful for researcher who are working on decision models.It provides very fruitful information on Analytical Network Process where the linking is non-hierarchical and non-linear. Though the previous book on AHP is also useful but this book is more comprehensive. I wish a grand success for this book.

5 out of 5 starsDecision Sciences for the 21 Century, 2000-04-12
This book is a clear example of the importance of rethink the teory and practice of decision making at governmental and enterprise level. It explains in technical and practical form the underlying theory for the systemic analysis of tangible and intangible factors.

In spite of the mathematical rigor that the author unfolds, the form as it quantifies the important inherent tangible elements to the complex situations, the neural basis of judgment in the decision making process and even his bond with the physics, makes of this book a remarkable advance for the decision theory . The decision situations usually involve benefits, costs, opportunities and risks. The ANP is a form to correctly approximate the uncertainty in the decision making process.
