Knowledge Resource Map for Crisis Management Team Assembling, a Combination of SNA and AHP Approaches

Human beings are increasingly in danger of disasters، whether natural or man-made. Although these situations are not preventable، with a proper planning، the disaster can be controlled، and the damage can be reduced. One of the main issues in disaster management planning is the development of the response team. The aim of this paper is to introduce an approach that helps organizations develop a response team prior to disaster happen. In the proposed approach، the organization was viewed from a social network point of view. Analytic Hierarchy Process was employed and applied to the knowledge resource map. In order to illustrate the application of this approach it was applied to the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia on a random selected sample of population. In addition to disaster response team building، these maps can help managers in project management.
