Critical factors for implementing a programme for international MICE professionals: a hybrid MCDM model combining DEMATEL and ANP

[Retracted] The Impact of Convention and Exhibition Industry on Regional Economic Development Based on Grey Relational Model

“…In the related research of exhibition industry, developed countries in Europe and America have mature experience with their own advantages, the related research is also leading the research in China, the research content is more mature and in-depth research, and the exhibition industry has a greater reference in China [15]. In the early 80s of the last century, in Hanlon A's book "Trades Shows in the Marketing Mix," the development, significance, cost, and related economic benefits of exhibition were described in great detail, and this book regarded the exhibition as an efficient marketing tool and had made a very important contribution and inspiration to the related research of the exhibition industry [16]. Christinc Christman conducted a systematic study of the preparation and operation of the exhibition, and discussed the market objectives of the different stages, so his theory was currently in the leading position in the exhibition industry.…”

Med-Tech Industry Entry Strategy Analysis under COVID-19 Impact

“…Some recent studies have adopted the DEMATEL approach for evaluating complex problems, such as the user interface analysis based on the DEMATEL approach [ 9 ], failure sorting evaluation system [ 10 ], the innovation policy portfolios of Taiwan’s SIP Mall industry, based on the DEMAEL approach [ 11 ], the causal analytical method of group decision-making, based on the fuzzy DEMATEL approach [ 12 ], the evaluation of an airline safety management system [ 13 ], the analysis of value-created systems for science (technology) parks [ 14 ], the service selection of vehicle telematics system [ 15 ], the integrated model of relation structure analysis and performance evaluation for hot spring hotels, based on the hybrid Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) technique [ 16 ], the integrated approach of selection of strategic alliance partners for the airline industry [ 17 ], the selection model of outsourcing provider for the airline industry [ 18 ], the evaluation of supply chain performance based on the DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) and balanced scorecard technique [ 19 ], the portfolio selection of strategic project for national research institutes based on the hybrid MCDM method [ 20 ], the quality education service for Hospitality, Tourism, and Leisure Undergraduate Programs (HTLPs) [ 21 ], the critical factors of implementing a program for international Multivariate Imputation via Chained Equations (MICE) professionals, based on the hybrid MCDM model [ 22 ], determining the causal relationships of the antecedents of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) for the hospitality industry, using the fuzzy DEMATEL [ 23 ], the service position model of package tour services by the hybrid MCDM approach [ 24 ], the sustainable development strategies of industrial tourism, based on the IOA-NRM approach [ 6 ], and the blockchain critical success factors of a sustainable supply chain [ 25 ]. This study divides DEMATEL into five steps: (1) calculate the original average matrix, (2) calculate the direct influence matrix, (3) calculate the indirect influence matrix, (4) calculate the full influence matrix, and (5) analyze the NRM (Network Relation Map).…”

Modeling critical leadership competences for junior high school principals

“…As a prelude to ANP, DEMATEL is performed to extrapolate the influence levels of each element over others and detect the interdependences and inner dependences among elements so as to quantify and decompose influential elements into a network IRM. The ANP then is applied to compensate for DEMATEL's insufficiency in merging dimensional weights to factors for determining global weights for each factor with interdependent and hierarchical relationships, and finalize the networked IRM into a steadystate supermatrix for obtaining adjunct weights for determining the holistic prioritization of Leadership competences factors in a given decision-making problematique (Yang et al, 2008;Chen and Chen, 2010;Jafari-Moghadam et al, 2017;Tang et al, 2017).…”

“…5.2 Estimating the priority weights by analytic network process ANP was then applied herein through the following three-step process to measure magnitudes among factors and their importance levels to the whole decision-making framework (Yang et al, 2008;Tang et al, 2017;Sharma et al, 2016).…”
