... the questionnaire was developed. Then, data collection was performed by questionnaire surveys. Confirmatory factor analysis was employed to validate the structure of the model. After that, fuzzy synthetic evaluation (FSE) was used to evaluate the importance of the barriers to SBM adoption. Findings Confirmatory...

... measurements for the questionnaires, with the final analysis conducted using fuzzy synthetic evaluation (FSE). Findings The exploratory factor analysis identified four categories of CMII: construction market dynamics, government policies, economic growth indicators, and environmental sustainability issues...

... environment practitioners and academics in Bahrain to investigate the local importance of the indicators. The Mean Score ranking (MS) and the Fuzzy Synthetic Evaluation (FSE) methods were used to analyze the 364 valid responses received. Findings The SBAT was developed, encompassing three criteria: “Site...

... computing technique called fuzzy synthetic evaluation (FSE). Findings In total, 25 uncertainty factors were grouped as critical factors and were modelled. The PCA of the 25 critical uncertainty factors produced an 8-factor solution that grouped the uncertainty factors into 8 categories. The FSE...

..., data were collected via a quantitative survey administered to EXCPs holding managerial positions in international construction projects. Fuzzy synthetic evaluation was employed to analyze the data. Findings The findings identified 23 intervention measures and 4 constructs, among them, measures...

... differences in readiness for SBM adoption in firms of different sizes. The Fuzzy Synthetic Evaluation (FSE) analysis was then used to assess the level of readiness for SBM adoption in construction firms of different sizes. Findings The analysis of FSE showed that large-sized companies demonstrated...

... in this study. PPP Operational risk management Strategies Vulnerability Fuzzy synthetic evaluation While the importance of operational risk is acknowledged, research into the operational risk management of PPP projects remains immature (Gao and Liu, 2019). Firstly, the risk management framework...

... of the probability – impact rating of the shortlisted risks – and the development of a risk assessment model for SC projects in the UAE. The model is developed based on the multicriteria framework and mathematical formulation of the fuzzy synthetic evaluation approach. Findings The developed model quantified...

... the importance of green innovation practices. Fuzzy synthetic evaluation (FSE) is also applied to quantitatively compare such practices. Finally, green innovation level (GIL) is proposed to measure the green innovation indexes and validated by a case study of seven construction firms. Findings This study...

.... This research aims to establish a fuzzy synthetic evaluation (FSE) model to analyze construction supply chain risk factors. Corresponding risk mitigation strategies are provided to facilitate the improvement performance of ongoing construction supply chain projects. Design/methodology/approach A literature...

..., and the constraint clusters were analyzed by the fuzzy synthetic evaluation technique. A significant index cluster to determine HBMM constraints criticality was generated using the linear additive model. Findings Embracing a total of 16 HBMM constraints, the three clusters identified are: (1) managerial...

... Kong. Purposive and snowball sampling techniques were used to identify the potential survey respondents. The fuzzy synthetic evaluation technique was used to develop the PEMs. Findings The findings revealed that adequate technical expertise of the SSP processes is critical in enhancing its...

... and factor analysis were conducted. The fuzzy synthetic evaluation (FSE) method was applied to develop a driving index (DI) for implementing infrastructure PPP projects. Finally, a comparative analysis of top-five drivers was conducted between four emerging economies. Findings Mean values show that all...
