碩士 === 元培科技大學 === 企業管理研究所 === 100 === This paper uses the Porter’s diamond model that influences how competitive advantages, which is a matrix providing a conceptual model for the main framework, as a construct for selecting the location of a Nursing Home in Taiwan to determine its effectiveness. The ability of analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to consider interdependencies among and between levels of decision attributes makes it an attractive multi-criteria decision-making tool. Thus, AHP based approach proposed in this paper provides a more realistic and accurate representation of the problem for conducting selection of location operations for nursing home to ensure a competitive advantage. The proposed evaluation criterion provides a valuable reference for nursing home administrators and decision maker in establishing a standardized means of selecting the location of new facilities.
