“…Rough set theory (Pawlak, 1982), as a mathematical approach, has been frequently combined with decision-making techniques in recent years. Rough set theory has been used in other important decision-making methods, such as best-worst method (Haqbin et al , 2021), analytical hierarchy process (AHP) (Gigović et al , 2017), ANP (Li and Wang, 2018) and technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) (Song et al , 2014). Rough set theory is used to aggregate group information to cope with the conflict, subjectivity and ambiguity in judgments made in a group decision-making process (Mao et al , 2020).…”

Purpose This paper aims to identify and analyze the barriers to the implementation of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization’s programxk for export consortia in the Iranian handmade carpet industry. Design/methodology/approach To accomplish its objectives, the study relied on a mixed (qualitative and quantitative) research method. Primarily, unstructured interviews were conducted to identify the effective barriers. Then, the validity of the barriers identified was evaluated through content validity ratio analysis. Finally, the interrelationships between the barriers were determined using the rough decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory technique (DEMATEL). Findings Results revealed that “a lack of leadership,” “a traditional business environment” and “a lack of awareness of consortium benefits” were the most significant causal barriers. Meanwhile, the most important effect barriers were “a lack of long-term vision,” “a lack of business ethics” and “a lack of motivation.” Practical implications The findings and results could help the stakeholders of the handmade carpet industry in Iran to improve existing export consortium programs, increasing the country’s share in the global markets in this industry. Originality/value This investigation seeks to fill an existing gap in the literature on export consortium formation in the handmade carpet industry by providing a network of barriers for the first time.

“…It can be concluded that the BWM method, although relatively new, has found wide application in various fields (Mi et al ., 2019). Some of the most recent applications of this method in the areas of logistics, agri-food and circular economy, which are the focus of this research, are for green supplier selection (Wang et al ., 2022), the evaluation of the sustainability drivers in the context of Industry 4.0 externalities (El Baz et al ., 2022), land evaluation for paddy cultivation (Everest et al ., 2022) and the evaluation of the environmental impacts of recycling (Soner et al ., 2022), prioritizing COVID-19 recovery solutions (Haqbin et al ., 2022). The COBRA method is one of the youngest MCDM methods and has so far been used in the literature to evaluate the possibilities of applying the Industry 4.0 technologies to perform reverse logistics activities (Krstić et al ., 2022a), to rank the smart reverse logistics scenarios (Krstić et al ., 2022b) and to identify the main circular economy interest areas in terms of applying the logistics 4.0 concept to the agri-food sector (Krstić et al ., 2022c).…”

PurposeCircular supply chains (CSC) are particularly important for the agri-food sector, which faces strict requirements generated by increased food consumption as a consequence of world population growth, changes in lifestyle, development of consumer society and increasing health awareness. Recent disruptive factors have placed the vulnerability of agri-food supply chains in the spotlight. Therefore, the purpose of this paper was to identify the most manageable groups of risks in order to ensure the smooth operation of agri-food circular supply chains.Design/methodology/approachSeven main risk groups were evaluated in relation to nine criteria. To solve this multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem, a novel MCDM model, which integrates the best-worst method (BWM) and the COmprehensive distance-Based RAnking (COBRA) method in a grey environment, was developed.FindingsThree risks were singled out, namely, product features risks, logistics risks and managerial risks. The obtained risks are those whose management would create the most positive effects for the stakeholders and help them achieve their primary goals regarding the circularity of agri-food supply chains.Originality/valueThis study investigates the main characteristics of the CSC in the agri-food sector, identifies, simultaneously explores and ranks all main risk groups associated with them and expands the possibilities for solving these kinds of problems by developing a novel MCDM model. It also identifies the most significant risks, both for individual stakeholders and for all stakeholder groups together.

“…The repercussions have been disastrous, and no industry has been affected harder than tourism and hospitality (Dube et al, 2021 ; Nicola et al, 2020 ). Recovery alternatives for tourism include lowering costs, implementing automation technology and new business models, and seeking government assistance and loans (Haqbin et al, 2022 ). Further rural tourism picked up steam, and those locations best positioned to provide rural lodging witnessed greater and longer-lasting domestic demand recovery (Marques et al, 2022 ).…”

The success of sustainable tourism is inter-woven with the participation of different stakeholders in general and communities in particular. Participation becomes more important in the mountain ecosystems with a fragile resource base and limited capacities of the local people to accommodate rapid changes. The fundamental focus of this work is to measure the attitude of local communities concerning sustainable tourism development and assess the reliability and validity of the SUS-TAS. The research objective required both quantitative and qualitative research strategies. A survey of households was carried out to gather information from respondents. Yamane’s formula was employed to select the sample size of respondents. Structured questionnaires were used to collect the data and SUS-TAS was applied to serve as a foundation for the analysis of local communities’ attitudes to sustainable tourism development. Delineation of dimensions of SUS-TAS was done by principal component analysis with a varimax rotation. Community members exhibited their agreement to six constructs of sustainable tourism development among seven. This study validates the sustainable tourism attitude scale as one of the premier tools for monitoring sustainable tourism development.
