The Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) method, with the capability of obtaining information in more systematic and efficient ways, contributes to the effectiveness of evaluating and managing relevant managerial competence activities. Borda function, FAHP method, fuzzy Delphi method and questionnaire survey were used in the study. Meanwhile, an empirical study was conducted to examine the effectiveness of the FAHP in the managerial talent assessment model, which aims to improve the quality of the decision making, and to be referred to further managerial talent-related activities.
