Exercise 39

For Problem, develop your own pairwise comparisons for and among the criteria using your own knowledge of Civil War history and any Internet research you might perform, and develop your own AHP ranking of the four generals.
Problem
The four most famous generals during the American Civil War were Ulysses S. Grant, William
Tecumseh Sherman, Robert E. Lee, and Stonewall Jackson. Historians have always debated who the greatest general from among these four was. Following are the pairwise comparisons for five criteria that might be used to evaluate the generals: leadership, including interpersonal skills and the ability to communicate with others and delegate responsibility; tactical and technical skills in planning and directing their armies, including the efficient use of their resources; their direct impact on the battles they were involved in; their decision-making skills both between and during battles; and their overall success in the war.





Using AHP, rank these four Civil War generals.
