Urban Vulnerability Assessment Using AHP

“…After designing the hierarchy of alternatives, decision maker should be able to measure a series of matrices that evaluate the numerical importance or priority of indexes together, and it provides each alternative compared to others according to the criteria. is trend is done with pairwise comparisons between alternatives (binary comparison) and assigning numerical scores which indicate the priority or importance among the alternatives [14].…”

“…In other words, the relative weight of each element should be multiplied by high-weight elements to get the final weight to rank the alternatives. By doing this step for each alternative, the final score will be calculated according to the following equation [14]:…”

“…After designing the hierarchy, the decision maker should be able to measure a series of matrices that evaluate the numerical importance or priority of indexes, and it provides each alternative compared to others according to the criteria. is trend is done with pairwise comparisons between alternatives High vulnerability (0.543-0.589) (binary comparison) and assigning numerical scores which indicate the priority or importance among the alternatives [14]. To do this, usually comparison of alternatives is used with indices "i" proportion to options or indices "j" which the valuation of indices as compared together (Table 8) [16].…”

Evaluating Ethical Approaches to Crisis Leadership: Insights from Unintentional Harm Research

“…Practitioners and scholars have developed risk management models and recommendations to identify, prevent, and prepare for crises before they happen (Francis and Armstrong, 2003;Kunreuther and Useem, 2010;Simola, 2005). Others have developed models to ethically evaluate corporate decisions to reduce the likelihood that specific strategies and actions will harm others (Collins, 1989;Stein and Ahmad, 2008). However, even the best models for preventing corporate harms cannot insulate a corporation from accidents and mistakes.…”

Interpreting ethical challenges in military operations

“…In training for highvelocity environments more attention could be placed on the importance of considering the broad range of sensemaking tactics available. Organizations that want to improve their employees' ability to make morally sound decisions, may also want to stimulate organizational learning (Stein & Ahmad, 2009). This means that learning should focus on reviewing past actions and situations (Stein & Ahmad, 2009) and implement these insights in the organization by transferring them by means of traditional as well as new educational methods, so that next generations are well versed for the ethical challenges they might encounter.…”
