Carlow Provost Margaret McLaughlin  
and Enrique Mu 

"Dr. Mu's scholarship in the field of information technology (IT) and managerial 

decision-making using the Analytic Hierarchy Process is an example of the kind 

of scholarship that this award is meant to recognize," said Margaret McLaughlin, 

PhD, Provost of Carlow University. Dr. Mu worked with City of Pittsburgh officials 

applying AHP to choose its Cloud Technology, and this work earned him a 

proclamation from the Mayor of the City, Honorable Luke Ravenstahl, who said 

Dr. Mu's contribution was key in making the decision.  

Most remarkable among Dr. Mu's recent research activities is his work in the use 

of decision-making methodologies for eyewitness identification, which was 

funded by Carlow's Grace Ann Geibel Institute for Justice and Social 

Responsibility as a signature project. His paper on the subject, co-authored with 

Rachel Chung, PhD, also on the MBA faculty at Carlow, won the best paper 

award at the International Symposium of the Analytic Hierarchy Process in 2013 

in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. 

Mu is an accomplished scholar and educator, who besides being Editor-in-Chief 

of the IJAHP, is the U.S. Director for the Latin American Society for Strategy. 

Prior to joining Carlow, he served as Program Director for the dual-degree 

MBA/MIS program in the Katz Graduate School of Business at the University of 

Pittsburgh. Before entering academe, he worked for Black Box Corporation, a 

Pittsburgh-based data communications company, as Business Development 

Manager for Latin America and as a Customer Support Vice President for 

Comlasa Ltd., a computing solution firm, in the same region. He has also been a 

Project Manager for several multimillion-dollar online banking automation 

projects in Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, and Chile.
