Does Priorities Now assume managers behave in certain ways?
Priorities Now assumes that there is some relationship to be determined between a manager’s relative priorities, between priorities between options and his/her relative reasons for these options. The assumptions are of the kind fully accepted by mathematicians throughout the field of multi-dimensional scaling. Most conventionally accepted decision methods make for stronger assumptions about human behavior. No special philosophical basis is implied by the methods or the mathematics used in Priorities Now.
