Modern global managers are required to possess a set of competencies or multiple intelligences in order to meet pressing business challenges. Hence, expanding global managers’ competencies is becoming an important issue. Many scholars and specialists have proposed various competency models containing a list of required competencies. But it is hard for someone to master a broad set of competenci...

Risk factor identification of IT outsourcing is significant to capture the source of IT outsourcing risk. Risk factors of IT outsourcing are often interdependent, and consequently the interrelationships among factors affect risk factor identification, whereas this fact is neglected in the existing studies. The purpose of this paper is to investigate a method for identifying risk factors of IT o...

This paper discusses the issue of how to solve multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problems by applying fuzzy logic. Multicriteria decision-making problems often involve a complex decision process in which multiple requirements and fuzzy conditions have to be taken into consideration simultaneously. Fuzzy set theory provides the mathematical technique for the systematic handling of imprecise ...

Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is a utility theory based decision-making technique, which works on a premise that the decision-making of complex problems can be handled by structuring them into simple and comprehensible hierarchical structures. However, AHP involves human subjective evaluation, which introduces vagueness that necessitates the use of decision-making under uncertainty. The vagu...

Sustainable supply chain management has become one of the significant areas concern for modern industries. Enterprises are now adopting that implements viable practices involving environmental protection and financial savings in a combined form. In this aspect, study focuses on detecting various concerns associated with sustainable diamond mining industry globally. These parameters classified b...

In this paper, we investigate multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems where decision makers represent their evaluation of alternatives by trapezoidal fuzzy two-dimensional uncertain linguistic variable. To begin with, we introduce the definition, properties, expectation, operational laws of trapezoidal fuzzy two-dimensional linguistic information. Then, to improve the accuracy...

Implementation of the risk management concepts into construction practice may enhance the performance of project by taking appropriate response actions against identified risks. This research proposes a multi-criteria group decision making approach for the evaluation of different alternative response scenarios. To take into account the uncertainties inherent in evaluation process, fuzzy logic i...
