This is the Spanish translation of the book in English written by Thomas Saaty under the title Decision Making for Leaders. The AHP is the way to make decisions in complex situations that include intangible factors. the basics of the AHP theory are described in a clear, non-technical manner suitable for business leaders and for students, and it has many practical decision-making case studies. It was translated into Spanish by four distinguished scholars: Mauricio Escudey (Universidad de Santiago de Chile), Eduardo Martinez (UNESCO), Luis Vargas (Universidad de Pittsburgh, USA), and Claudio Garuti (Fulcrum Engineering, Chile).
