When elaborating models in ANP, there are two key activities in the process: identify the relationships and weight the relationships to obtain the unweighted and weighted supermatrixes. Habitually this information is avalaible from experts, to those that it is necessary to ask. So, is very interesting build appropriates questionnaires to extract the information that they posses. These questionnaires should be on printed paper for several reasons: the expert doesn't have time to respond in a work session and it should be facilitated so that he gives it to us once answered, to have a font of tracing the data, etc. In big network models, once identified the correct form of asking, elaborate the questionnaires manually is a heavy and arduous task that doesn't contribute value to the decisionmaking process. In this article we show up an application that reads the files of the software Superdecisions, and it elaborates automatically the questionnaires to define the relationships and the questionnaires to prioritize the existing relationships.
The Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs) play an important role in the interconnection of Spanish Universities with its socioeconomic environment. In this paper an assessment which takes into account the results of the TTOs and analyzes the degree of alignment with the objectives set is carried out. The present work aims to design a methodology, based on the method Analytic Network Process Method (ANP), to evaluate the performance of the TTO. This method allows to set a priority between the different results obtained by the TTO and analyze the efficiency of public resources. This study will also include an analysis of the objectives of the TTO, the prioritizing them and analyzing the achievement of these objectives through various activities and actions undertaken by the TTO. This analysis should be useful to managers to determine which actions contribute, and to what extent, the achievement of objectives and which ones should be removed, modified or enhanced to improve the level of achievement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
