... and control readiness. The first was the relative importance index (RII) to assess obstacles facing A/E firms and contractors. The second was the interpretive structural modeling (ISM) to analyze interdependence and key influencing barriers. Findings The top barriers for A/E firms were a lack of client...

... and limited technological infrastructure. Design/methodology/approach A comprehensive four-step methodology was employed, including an extensive literature review, expert validation through the Delphi method and the application of interpretive structural modeling (ISM) and Matrice d’Impacts Croisés...

... and the Delphi method, this paper identifies the influencing factors of TIC in megaprojects at the project level. A structural system of these influencing factors is constructed by interpretive structural modeling (ISM), developing various mechanisms for TIC from bottom to top. The Matriced’ Impacts Croisés...

..., by combining the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL), interpretive structural modeling (ISM) and BBN, a model is introduced that can form the project risk network and analyze the impact of risk factors on project cost quantitatively based on the expert knowledge. The ranked node method...

... and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) and interpretive structural modeling (ISM) was developed to analyze the causality of risks, explore critical risks and reveal the risk transmission paths. The quantitative analysis process was implemented in MATLAB. Findings The results show that government decision-making...

... in PCPs, and also offer managers a reference on aspect of schedule risk management. Design/methodology/approach This paper proposes a hybrid method of GT–DEMATEL–ISM, that is combing grounded theory, DEMATEL (decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory) and ISM (Interpretative Structural Modeling...

..., 11 barriers towards adopting the blockchain were identified. Then, the authors investigated the interdependencies amongst the factors by adopting a two-stage integrated interpretive structural modelling (ISM) and decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method. Findings...
