University or polytechnic? A fuzzy-set approach of prospective students' choice and its implications for higher education institutions' managers

Developing Biodata for Public Manager Selection Purposes: A Comparison between Fuzzy Logic and Traditional Methods

“…Hesketh et al, 1988;Hesketh et al, 1995), owing to their practical usefulness in addressing a variety of organizational management problems. Notable examples include multi-objective optimization on the basis of ratio analysis (MOORA; e.g., Brauers & Zavadskas, 2012); the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS; e.g., Shaout & Yousif, 2014); Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP; e.g., Longo et al, 2019); fuzzy set Qualitative Analysis (fsQA; e.g., Guedes & Gonçalves, 2019;Henriques et al, 2018); and Mandani Fuzzy Inference System (MSFI; e.g., Dropuli Ruzic et al,2016). We will return to this last approach later.…”

Different Paths to Achieve High Technological Innovation in Clustered Firms: An Analysis of the Spanish Ceramic Tile Industry

“…The intermediate solution is one of the most used in the literature to analyze the causal complexity of the QCA analysis. This option is optimal mainly because it represents a good compromise between the other two [85,86,89,90,[92][93][94]. The main assumptions made in our analysis, considering the dynamics of the innovative processes in the ceramic sector, were the presence of the conditions early adoption and strong absorptive capacity.…”
