About the Book

This book offers a simple introduction to the fundamentals and applications of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) without a pre-requisite for a sophisticated mathematical background. It provides a quick and intuitive understanding of the methodology using spreadsheet examples and explains in a step-by-step fashion how to use Super Decisions, a freely available software developed by the Creative Decisions Foundations. The book is intended to be a resource for decision makers with little or no exposure to the field of Operations Research (OR); however, the book can be used as a very gentle introduction to the AHP methodology and/or as an AHP hands-on supplement for standard OR textbooks. AHP is an intuitive and mathematically simple methodology in the field of multi-criteria decision making. Because of this, most AHP books assume the reader has basic OR mathematical background. However, AHP simplicity suggests that decision makers from all disciplines can take advantage of the methodology without struggling with the mathematics behind it. To fulfill this need, this book delivers a quick and practical understanding of the method that can be useful for corporate executives.

Milagros Pereyra-Rojas has been executive director for the Latin American Studies Association (LASA) at the University of Pittsburg since 2003. She has been a research associate at Case Western Reserve University and President of MaestroMeetings Inc. She graduated from the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University with a Ph.D. in Management (Designing Sustainable Systems). She also holds an M.S. in public policy and management, with a concentration on finance and information technology, from Carnegie Mellon University; and an M.S. in management and technology, as well as a B.S./B.A from Carlow University, Pittsburgh, PA. She is originally from Peru where she worked as a TV journalist, having had the opportunity to meet and interview key Peruvian political figures. She also worked for La Casa de la Mujer--a non-profit organization that promotes the rights of underprivileged women. She started working for LASA as assistant director for information systems and communications in 2000. During her tenure at LASA, she has been responsible for the implementation of several technological initiatives such as on-line membership, professional searchable database, and on-line proposal submission. Pereyra was instrumental during the transfer of the Latin American Research Review (LARR) - the flagship journal of LASA from a University Press to self-publishing. She has also re-structured the organization and administrative processes which, in combination with the upgraded technical infrastructure, has made LASA one of the most efficient non-profit organizations of its kind.
