“…Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods deal with the selection of the best alternative among several potential options based on several criteria or attributes [72,73]. Therefore, the current study employed the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), which is one of the MCDM, to prioritize the importance of SBBM components.…”

Sustainability has become one of the challenges of today's banks. Since sustainable business models are responsible for the environment and society along with generating economic benefits, they are an attractive approach to sustainability. Sustainable business models also offer banks competitive advantages such as increasing brand reputation and cost reduction. However, no framework is presented to evaluate the sustainability of banking business models. To bridge this theoretical gap, the current study using A Delphi-Analytic Hierarchy Process method, firstly, developed a sustainable business model to evaluate the sustainability of the business model of banks. In the second step, the sustainability performance of sixteen banks from eight European countries including Norway, , assessed. The proposed business model components of this study were ranked in terms of their impact on achieving sustainability goals. Consequently, the proposed model components of this study, based on their impact on sustainability, are respectively value proposition, core competencies, financial aspects, business processes, target customers, resources, technology, customer interface, and partner network. The results of the comparison of the banks studied by each country disclosed that the sustainability of the Norwegian and German banks' business models is higher than in other counties. The studied banks of Hungary and Spain came in second, the banks of the UK, Poland, and France ranked third, and finally, the Italian banks ranked fourth in the sustainability of their business models.

“…The results of the fuzzy Delphi technique are shown in Table 3. Based on previous studies and consultation with experts, a threshold value r = 0.60 is set to decide the inclusion or exclusion of particular risk (Shen et al, 2010;Kumar et al, 2017). The risks having threshold value > 0.60 are selected (S); otherwise they are rejected from the list.…”

The pharmaceutical industry is very important in delivering life-saving products/services to society. There are many ways for materials/products/services concerned with pharmaceuticals to influence the environment; these include improper disposal of pills/tablets by patients, expired and unused medications, improper release of drugs by pharmacies or household sewage mixed with surplus drugs. In view of this, the present work seeks to integrate green supply chain (GSC) concepts in the pharmaceutical sector in a developing economy Indian context. In so doing, managers need to determine the potential risks in adopting GSC initiatives to achieve sustainability in operational perspectives. In this sense, this work seeks to distinguish the potential risks in adopting GSC initiatives within the pharmaceutical industry. This work uses a literature review and fuzzy Delphi approach in finalising the risks. This research also uses fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) for prioritisation of the risks under vague and unclear surroundings. According to the findings, cold chain technology and supply risks categories are highly prioritised. This work can assist practising managers and government authorities in effectively developing and managing GSC initiatives in line with sustainable development goals in the context of the pharmaceutical industry. Finally, a sensitivity test is applied to evaluate the stability of ranking of risks.

“…Moreover, in some cases, project managers need to change technologies and select among feasible options (Zavadskas, Turskis, Volvačiovas, & Kildiene, 2013;Štreimikienė, Šliogerienė, & Turskis, 2016). Selection among active working suppliers in the market highly depend on the place of introducing project (Peldschus, Zavadskas, Turskis, & Tamosaitiene, 2010), possessing equipment, and devices (Sivilevičius, Zavadskas, & Turskis, 2008), personnel qualification (Keršulienė & Turskis, 2011), and innovation capabilities (Kumar, Kaviani, Hafezalkotob, & Zavadskas, 2017). One of the essential decisions in the supply chain for contractors is to select suppliers, and the usual decision-aiding methods in contemporary economics are related to MCDM (Zavadskas, Turskis, & Antucheviciene, 2015).…”

This study investigates an extended version of the combined compromise solution method with grey numbers, named CoCoSo-G for short, to measure the performance of suppliers in a construction company in Madrid. Seven criteria from a relevant previous study are the basis for assessing the performance of suppliers, while ten suppliers are composing our decision matrix. To initiate the decision-making process, we invite experts to aid us in the qualitative evaluation of the suppliers using grey interval values. Two weighting methods, including the DEMATEL (Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) and BWM (best worst method) are used to achieve the importance of supplier criteria in a combined manner. The DEMATEL method is used to realise the best and worst criteria, and the BWM is used to sort the criteria according to a linear programming formulation. The CoCoSo-G method used to release the score of each supplier and rank them. We compare the results obtained by the CoCoSo-G with those obtained by the Complex Proportional Assessment method. It is evident that offering grey values for supplier qualification, using the combined weighting tool and proposing the new CoCoSo-G approach facilitate the evaluation process while indicating trustable outcomes.
