A Hybrid Program Projects Selection Model for Nonprofit TV Stations

Abstract

This study develops a hybrid multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) model to select program projects for nonprofit TV stations on the basis of managers’ perceptions. By the concept of balanced scorecard (BSC) and corporate social responsibility (CSR), we collect criteria for selecting the best program project. Fuzzy Delphi method, which can lead to better criteria selection, is used to modify criteria. Next, considering the interdependence among the selection criteria, analytic network process (ANP) is then used to obtain the weights of them. To avoid calculation and additional pairwise comparisons of ANP, technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) is used to rank the alternatives. A case study is presented to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed model.

A novel hybrid MCDM model for performance evaluation of research and technology organizations based on BSC approach

“…Yadav and Sharma (2015b) develop an integrated approach based on data envelopment analysis and AHP to evaluate supplier performance in the automobile industry. Chang (2015) integrates ANP and TOPSIS in a projects selection model for nonprofit TV stations. ANP method is used to obtain the weights of criteria and TOPSIS method is used to rank the alternatives.…”

The Use of MIVES as a Sustainability Assessment MCDM Method for Architecture and Civil Engineering Applications

“…As explained in Section 2, MIVES has already been successfully applied to study the sustainability in numerous cases within the building sector [55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69]. Table 4 presents a representative sample of cases classified in four levels: energy, urban, edifices and building systems and elements.…”

“…MIVES is a Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) method capable of defining specialized and holistic sustainability assessment models to obtain global sustainability indexes. There have already been numerous applications of MCDM in engineering [47], most focusing on economic aspects [48][49][50] and fewer about environmental issues [51][52][53] or social aspects [54,55]. Some MCDM tools incorporate different sustainability branches [56,57] and some are specialized in the construction sector [58].…”
