Application of the analytic network process in multi-criteria analysis of sustainable forest management (2005, methodology): “, 2001), combinations of the AHP with strength– weakness–opportunity–threat (SWOT) analysis (Kurtilla et al., 2000; Pesonen et al., 2001), and expansions of AHP with statistical methods (Alho et al.”
Integrated analytic hierarchy process and its applications - A literature review (2008, methodology): “After suggesting ways to refine the combined AHP-MILP, AHP-QFD, and AHP-GA approaches, some comments are given to the other approaches, including the combined AHP-GP, AHP-SWOT, and AHP-DEA approaches.”
SWOT analysis applications: An integrative literature review (2021, methodology): “Qualitative and quantitative techniques have been combined with the SWOT model producing powerful strategic decisions such as utilizing analytic hierarchy process (AHP) in a SWOT model (Görener, 2012; Kahraman et al., 2007; Kurttila et al., 2000; Shrestha et al., 2004).”
Importance-Performance Analysis based SWOT analysis (2016, methodology): “…a new variation of SWOT analysis approaches that integrated SWOT with others quantitative methods such as Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)-SWOT (Kurttila et al., 2000; Kangas et al., 2001), fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP)-SWOT (Lee & Lin, 2008) and Analytic Network Process (ANP)-SWOT…”
Developing a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) model for behavior-based safety management (2008, background): “The importance or preference of the decision criteria are compared in a pairwise comparison manner with regard to the criterion preceding them in the hierarchy [32].”
Application of a quantification SWOT analytical method (2006, background): “Thus, it can be concluded that the result of SWOT analysis is too often only a superficial and imprecise listing or an incomplete qualitative examination of internal and external factors [3].”
An ANP and fuzzy TOPSIS-based SWOT analysis for Turkey's energy planning (2018, methodology): “If it is integrated with ANP, SWOT analysis can provide a quantitative measure for each factor of the decision making [28].”

Structuring problems for Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis in practice: A literature review of method combinations (2017, methodology): “…of approaches defines a hybrid method or decision support system, for example, the MULINO-DSS which links DPSIR and MCDA (e.g. Giupponi et al., 2004), and the A’WOT method which originally combined SWOT and AHP (Kurttila et al., 2000) but later also other MCDA methods (Kajanus et al., 2012).”
A critical review of multi-criteria decision making methods with special reference to forest management and planning (2009, methodology): “Kurttila et al. (2000) presented a new hybrid method that integrates AHP and SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis.”
The state of the art development of AHP (1979–2017): a literature review with a social network analysis (2017, methodology): “Among studies applying AHP to ecology, we ﬁ nd a network around Kangas, who applies AHP combined with SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis to support forest management planning and decision-making (Kangas and Kuusipalo 1993; Kurttila et al. 2000).”
Swot Methodology: A State-of-the-Art Review for the Past, A Framework for the Future (2011, methodology): “Kurttila et al. (2000) believe that when using SWOT, the analysis lacks the possibility of comprehensively appraising the strategic decision-making situation; merely pinpointing the number of factors in strength, weakness, opportunity or threat groups does not pinpoint the most signifi cant group.”
