Risk assessment of international projects is a complicated task because of the sensitivity of project success related to country specific risks as well as project risks. Decision makers face the difficulty of weighing project opportunities against risks and determining attractiveness of projects while giving bidding decisions. The aim of this paper is to propose a methodology for risk and opportunity assessment of international projects. The proposed model uses an analytic hierarchy process for calculation of risk and opportunity ratings. A risk breakdown structure, specific to international construction projects, is proposed as well as a list of factors that affect the ability of construction companies to manage risk. An application of the proposed methodology is demonstrated by using real data supplied by a construction company that is experienced in international markets. Ranking of project options is made according to the opportunity and risk ratings that are calculated by using the proposed methodology based on the judgments of company professionals.Key words: international construction, risk assessment, analytic hierarchy process.

The work on Airlines security risk assessment at home and abroad is mainly confined to safety evaluation, and the research on security risk assessment is very few. Taking an example of flight safety system of an airline, fuzzy comprehensive evaluation and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is used to calculate the value of the risk of flight safety system based on risk assessment matrix. Flight safety risk assessment index system is established, and weights of the index system are determined by analytic hierarchy process. The indicators relevant values of risk probability and severity are calculated respectively by using fuzzy evaluation. And ultimately the values of flight safety risk assessment are gotten. Example calculations demonstrate the feasibility, effectiveness and practicality.

Risk assessment to flight safety is an effective measure to ensure safe operation of airline companies. There are many factors affecting the flight safety, so the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is introduced to assess the risk. In this paper, an index system of airline company flight safety risk assessment is established. A model of airline company flight safety risk assessment based on analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is also set up. An example is used to show the application of this method. The result shows that this method is rational and pragmatic in airline company flight safety risk evaluation.

This paper uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process to optimize the PESTEL analysis. The scenario: pre-construction and assembly factors of huge civil engineering construction projects. Several managers use too many criteria to evaluate large projects. It suggests that there may be few important criteria that summarize the manager's preference. To demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed hypothesis, the authors prepared a qualitative and exploratory study. Conclusions are based on the judgment of an expert interviewed. As expected, the hypothesis was considered plausible. Two main criteria corresponded to 71% of the expert's preference. The result resembles a Pareto distribution.
