“…Because of the small number of qualified respondents, the "expert opinion"-driven DEMATEL method, which requires a limited number of respondents, was employed in the current study. Unlike the traditional statistical approaches that explore cause-and-effect relationship among variables normally require a minimum sample size of 200 to provide sufficient statistical strength for data analysis [117], the expert opinion-driven MCDM approaches, such as DEMATEL, require only a minimum sample size of six [118,119]. In most studies using the DEMATEL method, the average sample size ranged between 10-15 experts [115,118,[120][121][122].…”
