“…The literature reveals some theoretical gaps and issues in relation to green supplier selection. Although many studies have developed supplier evaluation systems and some of them have also briefly mentioned certain environmental criteria for green supplier selection in megaprojects (Shane et al , 2012; Brady and Davies, 2014), there is hardly any empirical research that incorporates environmental criteria in the complex situations of megaprojects. Moreover, limited studies have integrated supplier selection approaches with hesitation from the perspective of multi-criterion modeling approaches.…”

Purpose Green supplier selection is one of the crucial activities in green supply chain management. However, limited studies have addressed the vagueness and complexities during the selection process, particularly in multi-criterion decision-making (MCDM) circumstances. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to develop a group decision model using a modified fuzzy MCDM approach for green supplier selection under a complex situation. Design/methodology/approach The proposed study develops a framework for sorting decisions in green supplier selection by using the hesitant fuzzy qualitative flexible multiple attributes method (QUALIFLEX). The synthetic consistent or inconsistent indexes were used to calculate all alternative suppliers by normalizing the hesitant fuzzy decision matrix. Findings The proposed framework has been successfully applied and illustrated in the case example of CB02 contract section in Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge project. The results show various complicated decision-making scenarios can be addressed through the proposed approach. The synthetic (in)consistent indexes are able to calculate all alternative suppliers by normalizing the hesitant fuzzy decision matrix. Originality/value The research contributes to improving accuracy and reliability decision-making processes for green supplier selection, especially under vagueness and complex situations in megaprojects.

While there is a general agreement on the need for tools, which guide the evolution of complex organizational systems, and while there already exists a wealth of tools and approaches for the measurement and management of complexity, it seems that in practice these approaches often fail to achieve the desired impact during transformation processes. Based on focus group data and based on related literature, we analyze the factors that hinder current complexity management systems from guiding enterprise transformations and contribute a set of design principles, which address these factors. In particular, it is important to be aware of the context, to use a consistent ontology, to pay attention to visualization and to raise awareness and support.
