This article examines different approaches that enable taking into account the associated risks in decision-making. Considering a comprehensive understanding of risk, the transformation problems resolved in an organization and the types of fac­tors in decision-making, three different approaches are described. Based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) methodology, an integral criterion for selection of an alternative could be developed.

This article calls for a transparent decision-making process within a rational framework, based on both qualitative and quantitative analysis, that would allow to select “the best” multipurpose fighter for the Bulgarian Air Force. After outlining the main assumptions, the authors examine the issue of identifying and structuring the criteria for selection of a multipurpose fighter, describe the main steps of a rational, quantitatively-based, transparent decision-making process and analyze the major decision support requirements, as well as methods and tools that may be used in providing analytical support to both the selection process and the follow-on contract and project management.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
