The Analytic Network Process (ANP), developed by Thomas Saaty in his work on

multicriteria decision making, applies network structures with dependence and

feedback to complex decision making. This new edition of Decision Making with

the Analytic Network Process is a selection of the latest applications of ANP

to economic, social and political decisions, and also to technological design

The ANP is a methodological tool that is helpful to organize knowledge and

thinking, elicit judgments registered in both in memory and in feelings

quantify the judgments and derive priorities from them, and finally synthesize

these diverse priorities into a single mathematically and logically justifiable

overall outcome. In the process of deriving this outcome, the ANP also allows

for the representation and synthesis of diverse opinions in the midst of

discussion and debate



The book focuses on the application of the ANP in three different areas:

economics, the social sciences and the linking of measurement with human

values. Economists can use the ANP for an alternate approach for dealing

with economic problems than the usual mathematical models on which economics

bases its quantitative thinking. For psychologists, sociologists and political

scientists, the ANP offers the methodology they have sought for some time to

quantify and derive measurements for intangibles. Finally the book applies

the ANP to provide people in the physical and engineering sciences with a

quantitative method to link hard measurement to human values. In such a

process, one is able to interpret the true meaning of measurements made on a

uniform scale using a unit
