Key performance indicators measurement in service business: a fuzzy VIKOR approach

“…Using decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL), he identified the critical central and influential factors, and established a visualised strategy map with logical linkages to improve banking performance. In another study, Flipse et al (2013) effort in identifying and managing the KPIs for R&D projects is regarded as crucial for making innovation trajectories successful. This scholar indicated that KPIs can, in the form of predictive innovation performance models, at least to some extent, explain why some innovations are more successful than others.…”

Open innovation : the road to success in agrifood?
