“…Two Delphi studies were conducted, a three-round Delphi survey with a panel of healthcare providers and a two-round Delphi survey with a panel of healthcare users. The detailed methodology and processes for participant recruitment are published elsewhere and are beyond the scope of this paper (Efstathiou et al 2007(Efstathiou et al , 2008.…”

“…As conflicting priorities may lead to dissatisfaction with the care offered and the healthcare system in general, the present analysis from two studies aimed to identify and compare the cancer care priorities of healthcare providers and service users in Greece. Two separate studies were conducted in parallel, addressing the aim with an identical research question (Efstathiou et al 2007(Efstathiou et al , 2008. The two studies will be briefly described to demonstrate the methods for identifying the priorities between the two panels of healthcare providers and users, and then the method used to compare the priorities will be provided.…”

Traditionally healthcare providers have determined how healthcare resources should be allocated. However, in recent years, healthcare users have increasingly been invited to identify those priorities important to them. Yet, healthcare users' priorities do not always match the priorities set by healthcare providers. In Greece, there has not been any research to measure the extent of agreement between healthcare providers and users on cancer care priorities. This project aimed to identify the priorities of healthcare users and providers with regards to the areas of cancer care that needed to be developed or improved in Greece and to examine the extent of agreement between the two groups. Two parallel Delphi surveys were conducted to identify the priorities and arrive at a consensus. Thirty participants formed the panel of healthcare providers and 30 participants the panel of healthcare users. The participants identified 18 key cancer care areas that require development or improvement; however, there were significant differences on the prioritisation between the two panels. It is encouraging that 18 key areas were shared by both panels. These areas can form an agenda for further exploration. Healthcare users can participate in developing priorities for cancer care; however, education is required so that they are better able to make informed choices.

“…Even within a system of such orientation the development of preventive strategies is of great importance [52] and satisfies health providers' and users' views in Greece, who highlight the significance and the need for earlier diagnosis of cancer [53], although the latter do not seem to be aware of the relation of screening and improved long-term survival rates [54].…”

“…Predicated on the logic that "two heads are better than one" (Dalkey, 1972), Delphi method is developed to reach a consensus from an expert panel for a complex problem where knowledge is limited (Williams andWebb, 1994, Hauck et al, 2007;Phillips, 2000;Dalkey and Helmer, 1963;Linstone and Turoff, 1975). The Delphi methodology can be used for a plethora of cases, such as sustainable tourism (Miller, 2001;Choi and Sirakaya, 2006), CSR (Hussein, 2010;Talaei and Nejati, 2008), human resources development (McGuire and Cseh, 2006), government planning (Linstone and Turroff, 2002), environmental management (Gokhale, 2001), medicine (Efstathiou et al, 2008;Keeney et al, 2001) and strategic management (Loo, 2002), while it is applied to select performance indicators in several fields (Ma et al, 2011). Typically, Delphi methodology involves expert panel, repeated rounds, opportunity for respondents to reconsider their responses and finally, anonymity of the expert panel.…”

The Telecommunication sector deals with numerous social and operational challenges such as technological development, increased demand for telecommunication services, health concerns and environment protection. The aim of this paper is to identify both general and sector-specific indicators in order to measure the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) performance. The Telecommunication sector has analyzed and identified the main stakeholders that affect and are affected by business operations. Six main stakeholders, namely suppliers, customers, corporate governance, environment, society and human resources and forty three indicators are indentified concentrating on the Greek market with the use of Delphi technique. Additionally, the study presents a specific formula for each indicator so as to measure CSR performance in specific terms. The contribution of the study is to formulate an aggregate CSR index and translate CSR concerns into specific indicators and to recommend a methodology in order to propose indicators applicable to any sector.
