“…Some studies have expanded the hub location problem by, for example, considering capacity constraints [14], budget constraints [15], dual decision-makers [16], traffic congestion [17], etc., to achieve more practical applications. Other researches focused on the exploration of solutions to hub location problems, such as analytic hierarchy process (AHP) decision-making [18], multi-criteria decision-making [19], improved or hybrid methods based on genetic algorithm [14,20], tabu search algorithm [21], benders decomposition [15] and other meta heuristics.…”

The increasing demand for multimodal freight transportation makes the expansion of new secondary hubs necessary. The carbon tax has also received attention from various sectors due to the development requirements of green transportation. Therefore, this study proposed a multimodal transport hub location problem, where carbon emissions are specifically considered to achieve green strategic planning. A mixed integer non-linear programming model was formulated to determine the location of newly-built secondary hubs, the distribution of cargo flow and the modes of the transportation links. A tangible adaptive genetic algorithm (AGA) is designed to effectively search for the optimal solution. The result of the secondary hub location based on Ningbo Port shows that the additional secondary hub brought a 41.46% increase in cargo flow, a 2.2% saving in transportation time and a 2.35% saving in total cost. Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis of the carbon tax reveals that a higher carbon tax increases the transport time, and more secondary hubs are needed to reduce the average cargo transport volume and save the total cost.

“…Komchornrit ( 12 ) applied an integrated approach based on confirmatory factor analysis, categorical-based evaluation, and preference ranking organization to select dry ports. Bozicevic et al ( 13 ) determined locations for dry ports at three different distances by an analytical hierarchy process. A major disadvantage of the above approach is that the weights of the location criteria are based on human experience, which is difficult to measure precisely ( 14 ).…”

The high demand for containerized cargo and the low market share of low-carbon transportation modes for hinterland freight systems in China are causing severe traffic congestion and environmental pollution. Dry ports offer an opportunity to reduce carbon emissions, relieve congestion, and expand the hinterland of seaports. Therefore, this paper focuses on the dry port multilevel location problem considering capacity constraints, shippers’ choice behavior, and empty container transportation in a four-mode port-hinterland freight network. A Stackelberg game-theoretical model is built for the government and shippers. In the model, the government determines the number, location, and capacity level of dry ports, and shippers choose seaports and paths according to the constrained nested logit model because of the capacity constraints of nodes and links. To solve the problem, a complete enumeration algorithm and a hybrid genetic algorithm are designed. Numerical experiments in China are performed, and two analyses are conducted on the cost parameters and time parameters. The results indicate that constructing dry ports can decrease carbon emissions and generalized transportation costs, and promote the mode shift from road to railway. However, building a larger number and higher capacity level of dry ports sometimes increases total costs, contrary to expectations. There are also some interesting findings with respect to the effects of costs and time parameters on dry port location results, carbon emissions, modal split, and seaport market share.

“…Hence there is a significant need for informed and comprehensive decision-making regarding its management. As already highlighted in the introduction, the AHP is a highly regarded MCDM method that has already been used in IT management research (Božičević et al, 2021;J. J. Wang et al, 2008).…”

“…Decision models for information technology (IT) outsourcing have already been developed (e.g., Faisal & Raza, 2016;Pakpahan et al, 2021); however, a review of existing literature shows that no such model has been developed for deliberation over outsourcing and internal (in-house) ISM. Although there are a large amount of multi-criteria decision-making models (MCDM) available in the literature (Kabir et al, 2014), AHP is among the most appropriate MCDM methods for solving complex problems (Božičević et al, 2021;Ishizaka & Siraj, 2018). Hence, it was used by several researchers in IT management.…”

Outsource or not? An AHP Based Decision Model for Information Security Management

Purpose: Outsourcing information security has proven to be an efficient solution for information security management; however, it may not be the most suitable approach for every organization. This research aimed to develop a multi-criteria decision-making model that would enable organizations to determine which approach to information security management (outsourcing or internal management) is more suitable for their needs and capabilities. Methods: Our study utilized several different research methods. First, the decision criteria were identified by reviewing related work and then selected by information security experts in a focus group. Second, a survey was conducted among information security practitioners to assign the criteria weights. Third, four use cases were conducted with four real-world organizations to assess the usability, ease of use, and usefulness of the developed model. Results: We developed a ten-criteria model based on the analytic hierarchy process. The survey results promote performance-related criteria as more important than efficiency-focused criteria. Evidence from use cases proves that the decision model is useful and appropriate for various organizations. Conclusion: To make informed decisions on approaching information security management, organizations must first conduct a thorough analysis of their capabilities and needs and investigate potential external contractors. In such a case, the proposed model can serve as a useful support tool in the decision-making process to obtain clear recommendations tailored to factual circumstances.
