...Haidar Abbas; Mohd Mehdi; Imran Azad; Guilherme F. Frederico Purpose This study endeavours to (a) develop a comprehensive interpretive structural modelling (ISM) toolkit containing sufficient details about the suitability and procedural aspects of each ISM approach and offer points of reference...

... of factors. Design/methodology/approach Literature review and group judgment techniques are used to identify the factors responsible for negative WOM. The study uses interpretive structural modeling approach to develop a structural model representing interrelationships among factors. The model also...

... interpretive structural modeling (ISM) and MICMAC analysis. Findings This study reveals that collaborative activities increase the value of whole SC. The various activities are modeled on the basis of “an activity influencing other activities” and “an activity influenced by other activities,” which...

... (F&V) are identified. The interpretive structural modeling (ISM) methodology, a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach, is employed for developing a structural model of the identified barriers. Findings The results of the analysis highlighted that two factors, namely, the non...

...-resilient indices (performance indicators) have also been established through interpretive structural modeling. Findings By exploring the concept of fuzzy DOS, outlined in the trapezoidal fuzzy numbers set theory, various SC performance indicators have been classified into three distinct performance...

... (NCS). Design/methodology/approach This study develops a framework to analyse the interaction among a set of barriers of STM using the interpretive structural modelling approach. Findings In this study, 16 relevant barriers responsible for the failure of STM in Indian scenario have been...

... by using the interpretive structural modeling (ISM) approach. The mutual relationships between these factors were identified to develop an ISM model so as to find out the important factors which can make India an affordable place for medical tourism. Findings The results of the survey and the model...

.... Design/methodology/approach The interpretive structural modelling method is used to model the drivers in this study. This method helps in understanding the driver-dependent relationships among various drivers/criteria which are selected for studying. Findings The findings of the study vividly shows...

... with experts from industry and academician. Interpretive structural model (ISM) was developed to identify the contextual relationship among these barriers. Design/methodology/approach – A group of experts from industries and academics was consulted and ISM is used to develop the contextual relationship...

... of their relationship toward greening a supply chain. Design/methodology/approach – Using interpretive structural modeling the research presents a hierarchy-based model to realize the driving power and dependence of sustainable boundary enablers. Findings – The research shows that there exists a group...
