“…Battles for dominant designs in the energy domain are only scarcely studied (an exception is, e.g. Van de Kaa, Fens, and Rezaei (2019)) but when they are studied, experts deem technological superiority as the most important factor for the dominance of a design. Thus, irrespective of the case that network effects appear to be apparent in these industries (Kubli and Ulli-Beer 2015;Kubli and Ulli-Beer 2016), technological superiority remains crucial.…”

“…The paper can be considered novel and original in various ways. First, it contributes to a range of studies that has attempted to assign weights to factors for design dominance for systems that make up a sustainable home energy system (Van de Kaa et al 2019;Van de Kaa, Fens, and Rezaei 2019;Van de Kaa et al 2014). This paper focuses on technology battles for thermal energy storage systems; a case that has not been studied before in the literature.…”

An important component of sustainable home energy systems is the selfsufficient generation and usage of energy. Although sustainable solutions to both generation and usage of energy in homes have been extensively studied in the past, the storage of energy has only scarcely been studied. This paper focuses specifically on thermal energy storage. Three competing designs are currently available: sensible, latent and thermochemical heat storage systems. The question is which will become the dominant design. Relevant antecedents for design dominance are explored and applied to this case in order to determine their weights. Furthermore, it is assessed which of these three alternatives will have the highest chance of achieving market dominance. Technological characteristics are most important and latent heat storage technology has the highest likelihood of achieving design dominance. The paper contributes to ongoing research that attempts to assign weights to factors for technology dominance in different arenas.

Sustainable product‐package design in a food supply chain: A multi‐criteria life cycle approach

This paper presents a multi‐criteria decision‐making approach for the selection of a sustainable product‐package design, accounting for the different actors within a food supply chain. The study extends the focus of sustainable packaging design to the collective of all supply chain actors. Decision criteria are identified via a literature review, and current product‐package alternatives are collected via interviews. With the inputs of these criteria and the alternative designs, a multi‐criteria decision‐making problem is formulated and solved using Best Worst Method (BWM). BWM finds the weights of the criteria. Using these weights, the ranking of the alternatives is found. The implementation of the analysis took place for three selected products of the Kraft Heinz Company. Data on the preferences of the supply chain members of these selected products were collected, and the optimal package designs were selected. It is shown through sensitivity analysis that modifying the weights that decision makers assign to the preferences of the supply chain members and the importance of the dimensions of sustainability have an effect on the selection of the optimal design.

“…The best criteria is the one with the most important role in decision-making, while the worst criteria has the opposite effect. This approach can be applied in many areas, e.g., various battery technologies in the residential grid storage market, sustainable material selection for building construction, and exploring the criteria for evaluating the green performance of airports [29,44,45]. The BWM is used in this study instead of AHP to determine the local weights for each criterion.…”

Green buildings are a crucial environmentally friendly component for sustainable human habitation and for the preservation of a healthy ecosystem. This study proposes a novel hybrid model to explore the influential relationship of various indicators and their importance for a green building evaluation system. First, a green building index system is established based on a review of recent literature on green building evaluation systems. Then, the decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) technique is utilized to determine the influential relationship among the criteria. Finally, a novel best worst method (BWM)-based analytic network process (ANP) model is applied to determine the influential weight of the criteria. The result indicated that the top five ranked criteria are all classified within the two dimensions of waste reduction and energy saving. An empirical case study of an example in Taiwan is carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model. Management implications are also provided.
