管理科学是一门学科，致力于技术的发展，使决策者能够应对日益复杂的世界。线性规划在公共和私营部门问题上的发展和成功应用引发了早期的兴奋，这促使研究人员开发出更复杂的方法来处理决策的复杂性。然而，复杂并不总是转化为更复杂的数学。Thomas L. Saaty教授在20世纪60年代末和70年代初为美国国防部和美国国务院工作。在这些职位上，萨蒂教授接触到了世界面临的一些最复杂的决策：军备控制、中东问题和第三世界国家运输系统的发展。虽然他在数学和运筹学的许多领域做出了重大贡献，但他很快意识到，人们不需要复杂的数学来处理这些决策问题，只需要正确的数学！因此，Saaty教授着手开发一种基于数学的技术来分析复杂的情况，这种技术简单而复杂。这种技术后来被称为层次分析法（AHP），在帮助决策者构建和分析各种问题方面非常成功。”
Management science is a di scipl ine dedicated to the development of techniques that enable decision makers to cope with the increasing complexity of our world. The early burst of excitement which was spawned by the development and successful applications of linear programming to problems in both the public and private sectors has challenged researchers to develop even more sophisticated methods to deal with the complex nature of decision making. Sophistication, however, does not always trans 1 ate into more complex mathematics. Professor Thomas L. Saaty was working for the U. S. Defense Department and for the U. S. Department of State in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In these positions, Professor Saaty was exposed to some of the most complex decisions facing the world: arms control, the Middle East problem, and the development of a transport system for a Third World country. While having made major contributions to numerous areas of mathematics and the theory of operations research, he soon realized that one did not need complex mathematics to come to grips with these decision problems, just the right mathematics! Thus, Professor Saaty set out to develop a mathematically-based technique for analyzing complex situations which was sophisticated in its simplicity. This technique became known as the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and has become very successful in helping decision makers to structure and analyze a wide range of problems."
