“…To approach this issue, many studies have utilized the consensus method [ 62 – 64 ], consistency index [ 21 , 54 , 60 ], and expert weighting method [ 5 , 65 ] to reach a consensus or eliminate conflict in the EDM process. In the future, it would be interesting to consider decision-makers’ bounded confidence [ 75 ], knowledge structures [ 17 ], sub-group cohesiveness [ 42 ], opinions evolution [ 9 ], and dynamic trust [ 49 ] during the consensus reaching process in EDM.…”

When an emergency occurs, effective decisions should be made in a limited time to reduce the casualties and economic losses as much as possible. In the past decades, emergency decision-making (EDM) has become a research hotspot and a lot of studies have been conducted for better managing emergency events under tight time constraint. However, there is a lack of a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the literature on this topic. The objective of this paper is to provide academic community with a complete bibliometric analysis of the EDM researches to generate a global picture of developments, focus areas, and trends in the field. A total of 303 journal publications published between 2010 and 2020 were identified and analyzed using the VOSviewer in regard to cooperation network, co-citation network, and keyword co-occurrence network. The findings indicate that the annual publications in this research field have increased rapidly since 2014. Based on the cooperation network and co-citation network analyses, the most productive and influential countries, institutions, researchers, and their cooperation networks were identified. Using the co-citation network analysis, the landmark articles and the core journals in the EDM area are found out. With the help of the keyword co-occurrence network analysis, research hotspots and development of the EDM domain are determined. According to current trends and blind spots in the literature, possible directions for further investigation are finally suggested for EDM. The literature review results provide valuable information and new insights for both scholars and practitioners to grasp the current situation, hotspots and future research agenda of the EDM field.

“…e CRP is essentially the communication and evolution of preferences or opinions between supply chain subjects, which is very normal in daily life [13,14]. It was previously assumed that the evolution of preferences is based on individual rationality and self-interest, that is, the hypothesis of "economic man."…”

A Consensus Decision-Making Model considering Empathetic Preferences and Power Structure of the Poverty Alleviation E-Commerce Supply Chain

et al. 2022

This article focuses on the conflict consultation process and empathetic decision-making behavior of a poverty alleviation supply chain composed of farmers, retailers, and third-party e-commerce platforms (e-platforms), and proposes an empathetic preference-based consensus decision-making model. The impact of empathetic preferences and power structure on the consensus reaching process are analyzed. The results indicate that consumers’ empathy increases the consensus wholesale price and sales price of products, while retailers’ and e-platforms’ empathy increase the wholesale price and reduce the sales price of products. The empathetic preferences of consumers, retailers, and e-platforms are helpful for increasing the profits of farmers. The retailer’s empathetic preference is not beneficial to its own profits and the supply chain, while the e-platform’s empathetic preference can help to improve its own income and increase the overall profit of the supply chain at first, before decreasing. Moreover, the power of retailer is positively correlated with the profits of farmers and the retailer, and negatively correlated with the profits of the e-platform and supply chain. The sales price and commission price are negatively correlated with the power of retailer, but the wholesale price is not related to the change in power structure.

“…It is found that the characteristics of "similar knowledge, ability, and value orientation of participants," "relatively concentrated preferences of a few individuals," and "relatively clear preference interaction orientation among individuals" are different from those of large group decision-making under hard constraints [16]. is leads to a narrow scope of communication between decision-makers, a lack of regulation of the relationship of authority, and difficulties in aggregating consensus [17], which greatly increases the cost and reduces the efficiency of group decision-making. Considering that the basic characteristics of large group decision-making in weak relations are that large-scale individuals jointly express decentralized preferences, individuals only interact with some of their neighbors, and the information scope involved in the interaction is narrow [16][17][18], this study defines large group decision-making in weak relations as an informal cooperative relationship formed on a temporary basis, in which subjects consisting of heterogeneous partners with different domain strengths interact in a low familiarity situation in the process of making multiple rounds of judgmental choices and finally reaching a unified opinion on the executable solutions.…”

Aiming at this definition, the interaction state and law of large groups of weak relationships coincide with the view that individuals choose to form optimal decisions at different stages in Intertemporal Decision eory [19] (weighing costs, values, and risks).…”

The fusion of large group decision-making preferences is generally based on hard constraints, and the general low-consensus heterogeneous preference interaction situation of weak relationship decision-making under soft constraints has not been investigated. This study puts forward the preference connotation structure and preference attributes of the intertemporal decision-making of weak relationships groups, objective preference comparison standards between individuals, preference interaction neighborhoods between individuals, preference learning adjustment rules, and preference cycle interaction result evaluation connotations. On this basis, this research constructs a multistage and multiple-round intertemporal decision-making preference dynamic fusion theory and a method for weak relationship large groups. The simulation results verify and support the constructed preference fusion theory and method, indicating that a relatively rational interactive learning and adjustment process can improve the group decision-making performance of the key digital technology R&D team for offshore wind power project construction, operation, and maintenance and effectively improve the convergence level, convergence time, comprehensive decision-making benefits, and decision-making cognition. In the increasingly open large group intertemporal decision-making situation, these research viewpoints and conclusions will help to expand the strong relationship hypotheses of preference fusion in previous group decision-making research. The research opinions and conclusions supplement the theory and method of preference interaction fusion under soft constraints in large group decision-making.
