Purpose – The changes that occurred in the market, resulting from technological advancement, made companies pay attention to innovation in their processes, products or services, as a way to stand out. To enhance innovation in companies, focusing on leadership is an effective way. In this sense, the present study aimed to develop a model in order to list the priorities related to leadership and its interface with innovation, under the top management perspective of a telecommunications company.Design/methodology/approach – For the development of the model, the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (Fuzzy-AHP) method was used to identify such factors and the best alternatives so that the investigated company can make consistent decisions. Thus, the criteria chosen by the Manager and Director were discovered, as well as the alternatives that they cherish, contributing to the development of innovation within the company.Findings – The results showed that the perception of the two interviewees was similar, however, it is emphasized that they should better choose how to apply innovation within the company.Originality/value – This study opens the way to highlight the importance of the theme of leadership and its interface with innovation for professionals in the management area, favoring decision making, in addition to contributing to the literature, deepening the debate on the theme of leadership and innovation, which is still incipient and needs development.

Decisions usually involve the getting the best solution, selecting the suitable experiments, most appropriate judgments, taking the quality results etc., using some techniques.  Every decision making can be considered as the choice from the set of alternatives based on a set of criteria.  The fuzzy analytic hierarchy process is a multi-criteria decision making and is dealing with decision making problems through pairwise comparisons mode [10].  The weight vectors from this comparison model are obtained by using extent analysis method.  This paper concern with an alternate method of finding the weight vectors from the original fuzzy AHP decision model (moderate fuzzy AHP model), that has the same rank as obtained in original fuzzy AHP and ideal fuzzy AHP decision models.

Making decisions is a part of daily life. The nature of decision-making includes multiple and usually conflicting criteria. Multi Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) problems are handled under two main headings: Multi Attribute Decision Making (MADM) and Multi Objective Decision Making (MODM). Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a widely used multi-criteria decision making approach and has successfully been applied to many practical problems. Traditional AHP requires exact or crisp judgments (numbers). However, due to the complexity and uncertainty involved in real world decision problems, decision makers might be more reluctant to provide crisp judgments than fuzzy ones. Furthermore, even when people use the same words, individual judgments of events are invariably subjective, and the interpretations that they attach to the same words may differ. This is why fuzzy numbers and fuzzy sets have been introduced to characterize linguistic variables. Here, the authors overview the most known fuzzy AHP approaches and their application, and they present a case study to select an e-marketplace for a firm, which produces and sells electronic parts of computers in Turkey.

Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is one of the most popular tools for supporting human decision making, and several fuzzy extensions of AHP have been proposed. The present study investigated psychological effects of both fuzzy ratings in fuzzy AHP and crisp feedback of the results from fuzzy AHP. The results suggest that fuzzy ratings could incorporate the fuzziness of a person’s feelings in his/her decision making. The results also suggest that crisp feedback, which exaggerates the superiority of only one alternative or the differences among the alternatives, could help a person to make his/her decision, especially when being deeply puzzled about his/her choice.

The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is one of the widely accepted and frequently used priority assessment methods. A number of studies, which employed the AHP method, have already been carried out in different domains to support their multi-criteria decision-making definitions and applications. However, few researchers have paid attentions to extract and represent the important concepts and their relationships from the AHP method itself. The aim of this study is firstly to propose a way for representing the AHP method as an AHP Ontology together with a set of reasoning rules. Then, a prototype assessment tool is developed to show the possibility of obtaining more flexibility and reusability of this ontological representation.

The purpose of this paper is to propose a new hybrid fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) algorithm to deal with the decision-making problems in an uncertain and multiple-criteria environment. In this study, the proposed hybrid fuzzy AHP model is applied to the location choices of international distribution centers in international ports from the view of multiple-nation corporations. The results show that the proposed new hybrid fuzzy AHP model is an appropriate tool to solve the decision-making problems in an uncertain and multiple-criteria environment.

Business feasibility research is needed before business development team decided to start the business. SWOT analysis is an important part of it, since it described Strength – Weaknesses – Opportunity – Threats. However the result have no score, so its makes harder to consider each part in making decision. AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) is one of the method in decision tool to scoring, AHP carry the quantitative analysis of the problem. The combine of SWOT and AHP in feasibility research provide more reliable accurate in decision making. The aim of this paper is to analyze the business feasibility in opening learning centre at Balaraja based on SWOT and AHP method.

 A qualidade dos serviços é uma construção abstrata e indescritível devido a três características: intangibilidade, inseparabilidade de produção e consumo e, heterogeneidade. Dessa forma, define-se a qualidade dos serviços como aquela percebida pelo cliente. Neste contexto, este trabalho teve o objetivo de avaliar a qualidade dos serviços em um hotel de grande porte localizado em Santa Catarina – Brasil, contando com a participação de 187 hóspedes. Utilizou-se o método Servqual para coletar os dados em um questionário baseado nas dimensões da qualidade. Para o cálculo dos pesos da expectativa e da percepção foi utilizado o método Fuzzy AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process - FAHP). Como resultado, são apresentados os aspectos onde a expectativa dos hóspedes em relação ao serviço prestado é maior do que a realidade encontrada, permitindo, dessa forma, que a empresa alinhe de forma estratégica seus futuros investimentos.

The halal industry in restaurant chain is lacking a rating system that would help the consumers to choose their preferences and enhance the halal integrity. In this regard, as a first step to develop a halal compliance rating (HCR) tool, the objective of this research is to identify and select the components of best halal practices for restaurants. This was achieved by reviewing existing relevant rating systems, standards, and research papers. The selected ten components were weighed by applying Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method of decision making through the participation of 15 experts where the maximum priority was given to �Hygiene and Food Safety (HFS)� component with a weightage of 22.3%. The least priority was given to �Branding, Packaging, and Labelling (BPL)� with a weightage of 4.4%. The consistency ratio was checked as 0.015. Additionally, the study investigates the auditable and measurable areas of the selected ten HCR components.

This article intends to integrate sustainability and the classical manufacturing strategy (MS) into a coherent hierarchical decision-making framework that identifies the content of a sustainable MS using fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fuzzy AHP). Instead of using the traditional fundamental scale of the AHP, linguistic variables with equivalent triangular fuzzy numbers (TFNs) are used to elucidate judgement of elements in pairwise comparisons. AHP, as a widely adopted tool in multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problems, effectively handles the subjectivity and comprehensiveness of decision-making complexity that is structured hierarchically. Domain experts in MS and sustainability were asked to elicit judgement in AHP pairwise comparison approach. Results show the content strategy of the nine decision categories in manufacturing that addresses sustainability and competitiveness. A priority list of decisions is also presented which may guide decision-makers in resource allocation, medium- and long-range planning, and in formulating strategic initiatives. The main contribution of this article is the formulation of a sustainable MS from a hybrid approach that captures uncertainty and subjectivity in decision-making.
