This article looks at the trends and success of the sustainable construction industries in the EU member states, the UK and Norway. The research, covering the past three decades, revealed that different quality of life, macroeconomic, human development, construction and well-being factors define the sustainable construction industries in the EU member states, the UK and Norway. A multiple criteria decision matrix was created and analysed to look at the EU member countries, the UK and Norway from the perspective of their macro level environment and construction industries. Assessments of the sustainable construction industries were completed by using the COmplex PRoportional Assessment (COPRAS) and Degree of Project Utility and Investment Value Assessments (INVAR), two analysis methods. A look was taken at the dependencies linking the indicators related to the construction industries and macro level in the EU member countries, the UK and Norway. Then, the multiple criteria analysis of the construction industry’s utility degree and performances were completed, and recommendations were generated. A country’s perceived image and success can influence the economic behaviour of consumers. By and large, advanced and successful countries rarely become associated with a negative national image and their products and services rarely suffer negative consequences due to such association. This research, then, offers findings that can assist potential buyers in more rational decision-making when choosing of products and services based on a country of origin.
Ongoing global changes and rapid changes in situations lead not only to a change in business organization models but also to restructuring the supply systems themselves. This is especially relevant when analyzing the healthcare system since the supply chain must be flexible and resistant to unforeseen events; the best example is the Covid-19 situation. It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the main focus in the health care system is and must be directed to the user of the service, i.e. the client/patient, the satisfaction of his needs, which means that the service provided must meet the client’s expectations. This article will examine how consumers perceive the services they receive in certain healthcare facilities. A standardized quality assessment questionnaire, Servqual, was used for data collection. The results are processed using statistical research methods. The results are expected to help analyze the critical points of the health system’s service supply chain, thereby improving service delivery quality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
