“…This dichotomy is largely due to the difficulty of testing the AHP method (Yüksel and Dagdeviren 2007) because AHP incorporates quantitative and qualitative criteria. The novelty of our approach is to use experimental economic methods to test AHP on an elementary decision problem with non-measurable decision criteria.…”

In this paper, we use experimental economics methods to test how well Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) fares as a choice support system in a real decision problem. AHP provides a ranking that we statistically compare with three additional rankings given by the subjects in the experiment: one at the beginning, one after providing AHP with the necessary pair-wise comparisons and one after learning the ranking provided by AHP. While the rankings vary widely across subjects, we observe that for each individual all four rankings are similar. Hence, subjects are consistent and AHP is, for the most part, able to replicate their rankings. Furthermore, while the rankings are similar, we do find that the AHP ranking helps the decision-makers reformulate their choices by taking into account suggestions made by AHP.

“…In strategic approach, SWOT, is the best technique to analyze and guide the environment (Yüksel & Dagdeviren, 2007) and is considered as a management tool in developing operational strategic programs (Amin, Razmi, & Zhang, 2011). This method is a general tool for analyzing the internal environment (strengths and weaknesses) and external environment (opportunities and threats) and a systematic approach toward the issue which helps in decision-making positions (Wheelen & Hunger, 1995).…”

Empowerment in the area of poverty alleviation, beyond being a partnership for improvement or progress of the performance, means accountability for the prioritized needs. As to empowerment, the approaches are mostly confined to motivational level or organizational and institutional reform. Based on this general approach, Iran has also drawn up many empowerment programs and implemented them through Imam Khomeini Relief Foundation (IKRF), the main supporting organization of the country. Pursuing the empowerment projects on the basis of this limited approach has been the source of instability for such projects. Evaluating the empowerment projects of Iran focused on poverty alleviation, developed and embedded in the broad programs of the IKRF, the study aims to identify the components of a pattern of empowerment for poverty alleviation through a social approach. Finally the proposed strategies are formulated based on three centers of active participation of the poor, strengthening inter-organizational relationships and defining an advisory role for supporting organizations to decision-making bodies. The methodology was descriptive-analytical and the data collected through direct observation and interviews with experts and academic elites and collecting questionnaires. Delphi Questionnaire was filled by the sample population in two categories of managers and experts of the IKRF and the clients. The Snowball technique was applied for identifying the size of the sample. The research questions were responded through SWOT analysis.

“…However, this practice does not provide analytical means to evaluate importance of characteristics. Some authors have proposed methods to quantify results of a SWOT analysis: Yuksel and Dagdeviren (2007) used analytic network process to develop an evaluation method for SWOT analysis. Chang and Huang (2006) discussed application of a quantification SWOT analytical method and Sevkli et al (2012) applied fuzzy ANP, (Houben, Lenie, Vanhoof, 1999 that an organization could use.…”

To develop a strategy for an organization it is important to understand the organization and its surrounding environment. SWOT(Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat) analysis is a famous tool to perform this task precisely by showing the strength, weakness of the organization and the external factors, opportunities and threats that affect its success. SWOT analysis is commonly used by business; however non-profit organizations also use SWOT analysis for decision-making and strategy evaluation. The limitation of SWOT analysis is it does not give weight for the factors and there is no quantified result from the analysis. The methods introduced in this paper are Sugeno lambda measure and Choquet fuzzy integral. Sugeno lambda measure is used to aggregate the importance of characteristics and Choquet fuzzy integral is used for the overall analytical evaluation of strength, weakness, opportunity and threat of a specific organization. A case study has been conducted for a currency exchange office to explain the application of the proposed approach.
