“…Scholars have used this method since then to identify enablers of technological innovation in Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in India [31], utilizing this method for the supplier selection life cycle [32], to evaluate the external forces affecting the sustainability of the oil and gas supply chain [33], or even wielding this tool in order to develop a roadmap to overcome barriers to energy efficiency in buildings [34]. Recently, intuitionistic fuzzy multiplicative BWM has been proposed by [35] to extend the method's use to uncertain circumstances.…”

“…Therefore, the best and worst criteria are chosen among the proposed criterion suggested by decision-makers and the whole purpose is to find the optimal weights and consistency radio (CR) through an optimization model constructed using the comparison between the best criteria over others and vice versa. Figure 2 indicates the BWM process as a system and briefly sets out the steps in the rest of this section based on [29,31,32]. Step 1: Designation of criterion.…”

High-tech companies are rapidly growing in the world. Research and development (hereafter R&D) department strength is the main asset that allows a firm to achieve a competitive advantage in high-tech businesses. The allocated budget to this sector is finite; thus, integration, human resource, risk and budget limitations should be considered to choose the most valuable project in the best portion of time. This paper investigates a case study from a high-tech company in Iran to prioritize the most attractive technologies for the R&D department. The case consists of twenty three technology options and the goal is to find the most attractive projects to sort them out for implementation in the R&D department. In this research, scholars proposed the best-worst method (henceforth BWM) to find the weight of the criteria of the attractive technologies in first step and utilize the newly developed method total area based on orthogonal vectors (henceforward TAOV) to sort the selected technologies based upon the identified criteria. Project integration is one of the least-noticed subjects in scientific papers; therefore, the researchers presented a zero or one linear programming (ZOLP) model to optimize and schedule the implementation procedure on the project risk, budget and time limitation simultaneously. The results indicate that starting few but attractive projects in the first years and postponing the rest to the future, helps a firm to manage funds and gain profit with the least amount of risk.

Developing innovation, based on knowledge and technology, as a driving force of the economy, is necessary for survival and is required in having strong interactions within the globalized world of business. Innovation and technology development require an intertwined network of organizational interactions between public and private sector. The activities and interactions of these firms are the reasons for innovation development in the framework of innovation systems. Following strategies is of crucial necessity and importance in industries such as aerospace and remotely-piloted helicopters (RPH) with their complex characteristics, costly and time-consuming processes. Understanding the business environment and identifying the success factors is a significant step towards adopting innovative strategies and planning for technology development. The aim of this article is to evaluate the key success factors in technological innovation development of remotely-piloted helicopters (RPH) industry. The methodology used in this article is Best-Worst method which is considered as one of the most prominent and effective MCDM methods. Based on a case study and by reviewing the extant and relevant literature, the key success factors of technological innovation development of remotely-piloted helicopters (RPH) industry in Iran were identified. Then by applying the "Best-Worst" method and the experts' opinions, the key success factors were analyzed and prioritized. Finally, some suggestions are made by considering the results of the study.Growing Science Ltd. All rights reserved. 7

In the past decade, there has been an increasing interest in green supply chain management, which integrates environmental thinking into supply chain management. Assessing a supplier's potential for improvement is very important when an organization wants to achieve certain environmental targets concerning their supply base, taking into account the limited resources available. In this paper, incorporating environmental evaluation criteria into a comprehensive supplier segmentation approach called 'supplier potential matrix' (SPM), a green supplier segmentation is proposed to segment the suppliers. Two overarching dimensions-supplier's capabilities and supplier's willingness-are used to evaluate the supplier's green potential. The two dimensions are measured by multiple criteria. A sorting method called ELECTRE TRI-rC is used to solve the resulted multi-criteria decision-making problem. In order to make a more meaningful distinction, a simple method is also proposed to assess the suppliers with respect to the carbon footprint of the raw materials they supply. The results of this assessment are combined with the ones of the SPM, resulting in a more useful segmentation. The proposed model is applied to a sample containing the suppliers of a large international company.B Jafar Rezaei
