A BOCR structure for privatisation effective criteria of Iran newsprint paper industry

Abstract

The privatisation of the Iran newsprint industry has caused an increase in production and decrease in importation. Recognition of effective criteria in newsprint privatisation will accelerate privatisation of the industry. The goal of the research is expediting privatisation in the Iran newsprint industry through benefits, costs, opportunities and risk merits. We applied analytical hierarchy process (AHP) to solve the problem plus questionnaires and pair wise comparisons of the matrices by the experts have also been done in the research. The results show a decrease of budget deficiency, national debts (economic and financial), limiting rules, heavy taxes (economic and executive), encouragement possibility, absorption of foreign, internal investment (economic and financial) and limiting regulative costs (economic and financial) which are the most important sub criteria regarding benefits, costs, opportunities and risks merits, respectively.

DANP-Evaluation of AHP-DSS

“…Within costs, the initial investment was regarded exclusively. The criteria within advanced functions are AHP/ANP-specific as they are derived from special requirements towards Group decision making [19][20][21], Transparency, Benefits-Opportunities-Costs-Risks (BOCR) modelling [22,23] and more general AHP advancements. Group decision modelling is an important characteristic as decisions with uncertain attributes often have to be solved in a group context to achieve a broader base of intersubjectivation or objectivity.…”
