“…The AHP, developed by Saaty (1980), has been studied extensively and used in almost all the applications related with multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) in the last 20 years. Steuer and Na (2003) revealed that there were approximately 18 articles studying the AHP combined with finance alone, whereas Vaidya and Kumar (2006) found that there were 150 articles investigating the AHP combined with general applications. Besides applying to the finance sector (Steuer and Na, 2003), the AHP was adopted in education, engineering, government, industry, management, manufacturing, personal, political, social, and sports (Vaidya and Kumar, 2006).…”
