Sustainable development in education is growing a public awareness and is gaining an increasing importance to improve a long-term learning program. However, a higher sustainability education is an initial phase as ever in many universities. E-learning systems in science education based on innovative information and Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have close relationship in effective long-standing learnings of sustainability and numerous criteria. Also, the technological challenge integrated to sustainability science education has been focused on e-learning programs, which can fill current educational niche. This paper presents a combined application, Fuzzy-DEcision-MAking Trial and Evaluation Laboratory/Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (F-DEMATEL/MCDA) technique, identifying and analyzing e-learning systems' the most essential criteria for sustainability science education. The main criteria to accomplish this goal proposed are delineated, weighted, appraised and assigned into four groups such as sustainability, science education, e-learning and technology criteria. Sixteen sub-criteria were analyzed by the participatory F-DEMATEL technique on the basis of coefficients' value and computation in the context of impact and examination. For the final decision problem, the most important criteria are acquired with the help of Weighted Linear Combination (WLC) assessed by six implementation strategies’ sensitivity analysis (A to F) and the sub-criteria by a professional online survey. Analysis on F-DEMATEL/MCDA shows sustainability criteria (Strategy A, 0.54 with 84% most likely and likely professional perception survey) that is the most essential criteria in sustainability and e-learning systems science education. Also, it indicates information environmental (0.57 with 77% most likely and likely professional perception survey) is the most essential variable among sub-criteria. Strategy F considering the most important criteria as equal (0.25) got 19% positively perception professional assessment. Consequently, fuzzy-operational and multi-decision analysis and professional survey could be utilized to find out the most essential sustainability science e-learning criteria that also could be engaged to make pliable and pertinent decision features.

“…Regardless of previous attempts in flipped e-learning teaching, the lack of literature is still difficult to identify and analyze the elements and sub-elements of flipped e-learning systems in sustainable science education [23][24][25]. Thus, these operational methods are necessary to adjust sustainable science education of flipped e-learning system with various decision-makers on multiple criteria [26,37,38]. In particular, these operational techniques and methods are barely used in the topic of neither sustainability education nor flipped e-learning systems.…”

According to Garg and Jain and Yang et al, flipped e-learning science interfaces are employing with a hierarchical growth model on the basis of fuzzy MCDA method and FDEMATEL analytic grid procedure that found the influential weights jointly with the establishment [26,37,38]. Thus, these operational methods are necessary to adjust sustainable science education of flipped e-learning system with various decision-makers on multiple criteria.…”

Selecting and ordering components for sustainable science education is a critical issue, which is presently obtaining increased attention because of being at an early stage and scarce application in higher education. Though the flipped e-learning scheme is one of the novel information and communication technologies (ICTs), it can be of great relevance in a long-term learning program for various sustainable science education criteria. This research presents an approach to identify and analyze elements for science education for sustainable development with multi-criteria decision analysis-fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (MCDA-FDEMATEL) method by flipped e-learning system. With the method proposed, the main elements are collected as science-education, sustainable-development, technology-infrastructure and flipped-e-learning elements. The final results’ analyses with sixteen sub-elements are assessed with weighted linear combination (WLC) and sensitivity-analysis (I to VI implementations) in the context of the MCDA-FDEMATEL method. The most important element and sub-element for science education for sustainable development through flipped e-learning teaching are sustainable-development (as an element), VI implementation with 0.540 weight, and environmental contents (as a sub-element) with 0.570 weight. Consequently, this proposed approach could be used in different studies to validate the most important aspects of science education for sustainable development through flipped e-learning teaching elements and sub-elements with equivalent and comparable education settings.

“…This paper used AHP method as the simplest technique of ranking. However, during the past few years, there have been other competitive techniques which can be used for ranking alternatives such as weighted distance-based approximation (WDBA) and distance-based approximation (DBA) method [62][63][64], Euclidean Distance Based Approximation (EDBA) [65], Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) and fuzzy set theory (FST) [66][67][68], Visekriterijumsko Kompromisno Rangiranje (VIKOR) MCDM method [69], Fuzzy Set Theory and Weighted Distance Based Approximation [70], Fuzzy-TOPSIS (F-TOPSIS) and TOPSIS method [71,72], Fuzzy Distance Based Approach (FDBA)' method [73], fuzzy-based matrix methodology [74], Fuzzy Complex Proportional Assessment (COPRAS) [75], Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP), COPRAS, VIKOR, WDBA [76], Hybrid MCDM methods [77] and fuzzy ELECTRE approach [78].

Technology valuation of NTBFs in the field of cleaner production with regard to the investors’ flexibilities and uncertainties in public policy

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Technology valuation, especially in the early stages of new technology-based firms (NTBFs) growth is one of the most critical challenges, which most often hinders the investor and entrepreneur's deals during the venture capital (VC) financing process. It is clear that uncertainties arising from the likelihood of implementing public policies could significantly affect the volatility of NTBFs cash flows in the field of cleaner production. Commonly, these kinds of technologies require public supportive policies for achieving success. Consequently, their technology valuation is more challenging and traditional valuation methods are not suitable anymore because of the definitive assumption of cash flow and ignoring the investors' flexibilities and uncertainties. Therefore, this paper proposes a method by introducing a framework based on the decision tree and the real options analysis which is tailored to meet the technology valuation of such firms during all stages of their growth. Furthermore, unlike previous papers that have utilized the compound options, option to choose has been used to apply investors' flexibilities. Then, the proposed framework is supported by a case study, which has been conducted to verify and validate it. Finally, the conclusion section discusses the contributions and limitations of the study and provides directions for future research.
