When checking the inconsistency level of a positive reciprocal matrix Saaty uses a deterministic criterion based on two parameters, a benchmark (the average), and a consistency level, usually 10%. Using results from a simulation experiment with 100,000 positive random reciprocal matrices of size...

We combine the Analytic Network Process (ANP) and the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) to build a cohesive decision model for determining firm level IT outsourcing strategy. Although prior research has confirmed the existence of interactions among BSC indicators and the potential impact of those...

In this paper we develop a methodology to study the sensitivity and the stability of models built using the Analytic Network Process. We study two types of stability: core and solution stability. The former deals with finding the region of the perturbation space in which the initial solution...
