A conceptual foundation of information management concepts and decision-making methods. It assumes that one of the major difficulties for the decision-making process is that information for the choice, given the decision as a choice, is not always available or accessible in an organized way. It presents the concepts and principles of the Society of Jesus as a company based on decision-making. The four principles for decision making in the Society of Jesus are considered such as heroism, ingenuity, love and selfknowledge. These principles guided the development of ten competencies in three groups: the Way of Being, the Way of Proceeding and the Mode of Examination. It develops a study based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) model, a multicriteria method for make decision. The method evaluates the relative importance of these criteria, compares the alternatives for each criterion and determines a total ranking of the alternatives. The results point out that these criteria and the qualities of the managers must be developed and strengthened in order to respond to the challenges and objectives of schools in the world, in Latin America and in Brazil in particular Society of Jesus.
