Excavators are quite expensive vehicles. Therefore, there may be huge losses for decision makers if a wrong decision is made during the purchasing process. A good evaluation of excavator alternatives both reduces costs and increases the benefits the excavator for the purchaser. The aim of this study is to prioritise excavator technologies to help decision makers during the purchasing process and to apply three different “data fusion methods” instead of the “theory of dominance” of the original MULTI MOORA method. The MULTI MOORA method is composed of three methods, namely: the ratio analysis as a part of MOORA, Reference Point Theory (the reference point approach as a part of MOORA) and the Full Multiplicative Form. It is used to prioritise excavator technologies in this study. The MULTI - MOORA method combines three results obtained from these three methods using the theory of dominance. Dominance directed graph, Rank position method and Borda count method as data fusion methods are also used to combine these three results instead of the “theory of dominance”. The results from this study show that there is no difference between the data fusion methods and the MULTI MOORA method can be applied to technology evaluation of the excavator alternatives successfully.
Identifying the cause and effect factors of marketing resources and prioritizing them with respect to their level of importance can build superior market performance for companies. Although there have been some studies in the literature which have used marketing resource dimensions to conduct their research, these studies have not considered the relationships between marketing resource dimensions. Therefore, the aim of this study is to identify the cause and effect factors of marketing resources and to prioritize them in terms of their importance using the fuzzy Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory method. The findings of this study suggest that the dimension managerial capabilities, composed of financial management, effective human resource management and good operations management expertise, exerts a greater influence on marketing strategy than other criteria. In addition, the criterion credibility with customers through being well established in the market is the most important aspect of marketing resources.
Bu çalışmada değer-tutum-davranış modeli bağlamında çevre bilincinin(değer), çevresel tutumlar (çevre sorunlarına ve eko-sosyal faydalara yönelik tutumlar) üzerinden yeşil ürün satın alma davranışına(davranış) olan dolaylı etkileri araştırılmıştır. Aynı zamanda, referans gruplarının (bilgilendirici, faydacı ve değer ifade eden üç tür etki), yeşil ürün bilgisinin ve yeşil ürün kalitesinin, yeşil ürün satın alma davranışı üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın örneklemini kolayda örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilmiş, Samsun ilinde yaşayan, 18 yaş ve üzeri 550 tüketici oluşturmaktadır.Çalışmanın sonucunda çevre bilincinin, yeşil ürün satın alma davranışı üzerinde çevresel tutumlar aracılığıyla dolaylı; referans grupların, yeşil ürün bilgisinin ve ürün kalitesinin ise yeşil satın alma davranışı üzerinde doğrudan etkisinin olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca demografik özelliklerden kuşakların, araştırmada gözlenmek istenen değişkenler üzerindeki farklılıkların anlamlılıklarının incelenmesi amacıyla Kruskall-Wallis testi uygulanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, tüketici kuşakları açısından, çevre bilinci değerinde ve eko-sosyal faydalara yönelik tutum değişkenlerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu görülmüştür.
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.
