A company has selected three criteria to evaluate project alternatives, i.e. financial benefits, contribution to strategy and contribution to IT infrastructure. The financial benefits criterion, which centers on the tangible benefits of the project, is further subdivided into long-term ad short-term benefits. Contribution to strategy, an intangible factor, is subdivided into three subcriteria, i.e. increasing market share, retaining existing customers and improving cost management. The breakdown of criterion weights across the same three major criteria is shown in the figure 1. The values of 0.000, 0.050, 0.150, 0.300 and 0.500 are assigned to an evaluation scale with five dimensions: poor, fair, good, very good and excellent. The rating of the five project alternatives is shown in Table 1. Please use AHP method to evaluate these project alternatives
