“…Ertuğrul et al (2016) focused on ranking of Turkish universities, and compared them on the basis of five different indicators using the secondary data sets and rationalized the ranking of universities. Qazi et al (2021a) evaluated the immediate response of the countries to the COVID-19 pandemic, and then ranked and classified them on the basis of grey relational grades taking real-time data from "Worldometer." Giannakitsidou et al (2020) focused on the environmental and circular economic performance of European countries using data envelopment analysis, and concluded that Belgium is one of the best performers.…”

“…The abridged procedure of GRA includes 1) extraction of data, 2) normalization of data, 3) generation of reference series, 4) calculation of deviation sequence, 5) calculation of grey relational coefficients, 6) calculation of grey relational grades, and 7) generation of ranking list. As an augmentation of GRA, a classification based on grey relational grades is also introduced (Qazi et al, 2021a). Although we have adopted algorithm of GRA from Ertuğrul et al (2016), it is still found to be beneficial to reiterate the algorithm (Annex 1).…”

“…An array of techniques of data analysis is considered, such as MABAC, COPRAS, MAIRCA, FUCOM, LBWA, TOPSIS, SWARA, VIKOR, GRA, AHP and so on. However, on the basis of simplicity, comprehensiveness and appropriateness, GRA is considered to be the most suitable technique to achieve the objectives of this study (Wu, 2002;Niazi et al, 2021a;Qazi et al, 2021a;. Asgharnezhad and Darestani (2022) applied Dempster-Shafer theory and grey relational analysis (GRA), and found that GRA is the more robust and more reliable technique of analysis.…”

The aim of this study is to evaluate the entrepreneurial environment of selected countries, and analyze and rank them on the basis of entrepreneurship related indicators. This study’s design comprises a review of the literature, extraction of secondary data on the phenomenon, and analysis. The research gap has been established through a review of the literature, leading toward the development of problem statement. The cross-sectional data, related to entrepreneurship indicators, is extracted from website of World Development Indicators (2021) for 48 selected countries. Using positivism as a research philosophy and deduction as a research approach, the data are analyzed through grey relational analysis (GRA). On the basis of grey relational grades, this study also classified the countries on the continuum of “much better” to “worse.” The results of the study show that the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, Australia, Hong Kong, France and Canada attained the highest grey relational grades and are considered the countries having much better entrepreneurial environment; whereas Poland, Kuwait, Namibia and so on attained the lowest grey relational grades and are considered the countries having worst entrepreneurial environment. This research has several practical implications for different economies/countries, entrepreneurial ventures, aspiring entrepreneurial, and researchers. On the basis of findings of this study, policy makers should refine country-level entrepreneurial policies while keeping in view the respective grey relational grades.

Development of a multicriteria decision-making model for evaluating hybrid offspring in the sweetpotato (<i>Ipomoea batatas</i> L.) breeding process

Sweetpotato variety breeding is always a long process. Screening of hybrid offspring is dominated by empirical judgment in this process. Data analysis and decision fatigue have been troubling breeders. In recent years, the low-efficiency screening mode has been unable to meet the requirements of sweetpotato germplasm innovation. Therefore, it is necessary to construct a high-efficiency method that can screen germplasms for different usages, for mining elite genotypes, and to create dedicated sweetpotato varieties. In this article, the multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) model was constructed based on six agronomic traits, including fresh root yield, vine length, vine diameter, branch number, root number and the spatial distribution of storage roots, and five quality traits, including dry matter content, marketable root yield, uniformity of roots, starch content and the edible quality score. Among these, the edible quality score was calculated by using fuzzy comprehensive evaluation to integrate the sensory scores of color, odor, sweetness, stickiness and fibrous taste. The MCDM model was compared with the traditional screening method via an evaluation in 25 sweetpotato materials. The interference of subjective factors on the evaluation results was significantly reduced. The MCDM model is more overall, more accurate and faster than the traditional screening method in the selection of elite sweetpotato materials. It could be programmed to serve the breeders in combination with the traditional screening method.
