| Abstract | The purpose of this study is to develop a model for prioritizing Vietnam's industries for
development and industrial promotion. A multiattribute decision making approach has been used
to build the model. The proposed model is developed under an Analytical Hierarchy Process
(AHP) framework with multi-level criteria. Some criteria of industrial promotion have been
identified such as: economic development, industrial technological progress, energy and natural
resources' utilization and environmental preservation.
A survey through questionnaire on the pairwise comparison of criteria and subcriteria has
been conducted to provide qualitative data which will be used for the calculation of priority
weights. Quantitative data on the performance of alternative industries under subcriteria are
collected from official and available sources. For environmental preservation, a rating method has
been used to evaluate the environment impact of alternative industries.
Under the AHP framework the overall priority weights of alternative industries have been
determined. The results indicate that, at the present context of early stage of industrialization in
Vietnam, economic development is the most important criteria and foodstuffs has the highest
priority. A sensitivity analysis with different scenarios, reflecting some development policies has
been done. This led to some conclusion on different priority of alternative industries in short-term
and long-term development. |
