Abstract: Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) technique has been extended to formulate a methodology to analyse and prioritise contextual interactions among variables or factors affecting complex socioeconomic systems. This important methodology has been introduced with a name 'contextual interactions analytic hierarchy process' (CIAHP) to address need of analysing, prioritising and ranking of contextual relationships/interactions of important variables/factors/sub-systems of a socioeconomic phenomenon/problem using system approach. This paper considers knowledge management implementation capability (KMIC) factors' interactions that need to be appropriately analysed. Step wise procedure has been detailed with subsequent discussions on application of CIAHP methodology to evaluate relationships among KMIC factors on the basis of clearly defined 'threshold value' of interaction. This paper may help economists, policy makers, entrepreneurs and practicing managers to analyse contextual interactions among variables/sub-systems of a complex problem/system; and evaluate critical path of interactions (CPI).
