“…ISM and DEMATEL are complementing and powerful structural modeling techniques and deemed superior to other interpretive and decision modeling techniques [72], [73]. Integrated ISM-DEMATEL has been successfully utilized in various contexts and in various fields to deal with decision-making problems [72], [74]- [76]. However, limited use of ISM-DEMATEL combination has been undertaken by studies in the software engineering domain, therefore studies using these methodologies separately are discussed.…”

Software project scope definition is complicated due to the diversity and magnitude of the information needed. An inadequate scope definition often results in project failure as it continues to emerge as the major cause of delays, changes/rework, and cost and schedule overruns. Literature mentions different tools and methods to verify, quantify, and control software scope definition. However, none of these methods and tools help in defining a complete scope. Since a well-defined scope in the early stages is a core ingredient for project success, therefore, previously we developed a method that includes 45 elements of the software project scope definition. Although these elements are noteworthy for project scope, some may influence others; and should be concentrated on more when defining the scope of the software projects. The objective of this present study is that it builds on our previous research and uses Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) to extract the interrelationships among the elements and Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) to determine the intensity of these relationships. Experts from academia and the software development industry were consulted to identify the relationships among the elements. ISM-DEMATEL approach indicates that the project manager's competence is the main driver. Further, requirements, stakeholders' expectations, cost estimates, project schedule, resource estimation, project summary, communication, consultation, top management support are among the most influential elements that are critical to focus on. Moreover, the findings of the study provide project managers with a better understanding of the elements and their interconnections thus, helping in achieving a better scope definition.INDEX TERMS Interpretive structural modeling (ISM), decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL), scope definition, scope elements, scope management, software projects.

“…If 1 or more number falls at the same level, this technique is unable to justify the importance of the elements within that level. Hence, an integrated approach of DEMATEL and ISM has been suggested by 55 and found useful to get the detailed analysis of all the elements involve in a system. 53,54 As DEMATEL technique facilitates to find out the magnitude of the relational impact of the factors, it considers all the direct and indirect effects to find the strength of relations, but it is unable to categorize the level of the elements.…”

Cloud computing and cloud applications are emerging as the latest technology.Cloud applications are developing very fast and adopted by most of the firms around the globe. The cloud applications are widely accepted and considered as a notion of the digitized era, but the cloud product lifecycle management (PLM) is not adopted much in Indian firms. Cloud PLM is an upcoming cloud application, but its adoption entails various challenges. Considering this fact, the paper aims to empirically investigate the critical challenges encountered by many firms for migration to of cloud PLM. A multicriteria decision making method, grey Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory along with interpretive structural modeling are employed to identify the causal challenges and their hierarchy to cloud PLM adoption. This empirical study brings out "data security" and "trust on solution provider" as the most important and critical challenges for migration to cloud PLM adoption. The findings may act as a guide for the managers in manufacturing firms in identifying the critical challenges to utilize the benefits of cloud PLM over on-premise PLM systems.

SMEs did not have enough ability to invest in development of new products and entering of new markets. Therefore, they try to achieve something through R&D Alliances, such as unique technology, resources, power of synergy, and the ability to reduce the gap between market leaders. However, the scope and characteristics of R&D alliance result in management complexity and difficulty that are higher than business management. The relevant researches in the past only use the fragment analysis, no systematic methods and systems thinking perspective to think about the complexity of R&D Alliance issues. Therefore, this study try to build a composite methodology that can completely reveal the complex causal relationship between the key success factors (KSF) in R&D alliance. This study aims to discuss the complexity of the KSFs in R&D alliance, using the system theory to integrate decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL), interpretative structural modelling (ISM) and analytical network process (ANP) into a composite methodology. Between the KSFs, it reveals the strength and direction of interaction, hierarchy structure, degree of relative importance, and the causal loop map enhancement that is beneficial to help managers use systems thinking for complex issues.
