Popis: Summary: This paper presents theoretical arguments for the importance of participative decisionmaking, lists several problems related to group decision-making and presents and discusses how the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) can address these problems. Particular attention is focussed on how the individual participants’ preferences can be accommodated in a group decision stressing that the normal emphasis on consensus may not always be the way to go. Investigating the geometric mean as an alternative in real-world decision situations is suggested. The application of AHP to decisionmaking in the synergistic group is accepted and the possibility of expanding the use of AHP into areas where substantial agreement, compatible values and objectives are unlikely is suggested.
