“…In the second case, the Delphi process is applied during the AHP procedure. Members of an expert panel submit their judgments anonymously, asynchronously, and in multiple iterations (Di Zio & Maretti, 2014; Tavana et al, 1993). We applied the latter method, as the Olympic legacy framework was developed by the IOC (2017) and systematized in Korean context already (Lee et al, 2021).…”

The Olympic legacy framework was proposed by the International Olympic Committee; however, it has not yet been discussed much in academia. This study identified a set of key dimensions and items out of 7 dimensions and 39 items from the Olympic legacy framework, along with the weight of each dimension and item. Based on the judgments of 12 Korean Olympic experts collected via the Delphi-analytical hierarchal process method, the results indicate that social development through sport is the most significant dimension, followed by economic value and brand equity, and urban development. The results also reveal that the most crucial of the 39 items are health and well-being benefits from the practice of recreational sport and physical activity from the social development through sport dimension, while the intangible cultural heritage of Olympism from the culture and creative development dimension was considered the least important. The results provide useful insight for evaluating the Olympic legacy framework for host or candidate cities and countries, as well as the International Olympic Committee.

“…A Delphi approach, put forward by Dalky and Helmer, was employed to get the most dependable common view among several experts and was diffusely applied to make a strategic decision as well as forecasting [38]. The traditional Delphi method provides a chance for experts to obtain replies and revise their views using four rounds of consultations [39], which is time-consuming and hard to obtain consensus via redundant surveys.…”

With the increasing development of renewable resources-based electricity generation and the construction of wind-photovoltaic-energy storage combination exemplary projects, the intermittent and fluctuating nature of renewable resources exert great challenges for the power grid to supply electricity reliably and stably. An energy storage system (ESS) is deemed to be the most valid solution to deal with these challenges. Considering the various types of ESSs, it is necessary to develop a comprehensive assessment framework for selecting appropriate energy storage techniques in establishing exemplary projects combining renewable resources-based electricity generation and an ESS. This paper proposes a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) model combining a fuzzy-Delphi approach to establish the comprehensive assessment indicator system, the entropy weight determination method, and the best-worst method (BWM) to calculate weights of all sub-criteria, and a Vlsekriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) comprehensive evaluation model to choose the optimal battery ESS. In accordance with the comprehensive evaluation results, the Li-ion battery is the optimal battery ESS to apply to wind-photovoltaic-energy storage combination exemplary projects. Based on the discussion on the comprehensive evaluation results, policy implications are suggested to improve the applicability of battery ESSs and provide some references for decision makers in related fields.

“…Saaty and Kearns (1985) gave the general rule-of-thumb that the CR should fall under 10% to be acceptable but never above 20%. Should the CR surpass this threshold, respondents may study and revise their judgments (Di Zio and Maretti, 2014).…”

Purpose The benefits of adopting lean manufacturing for leveraging corporate sustainability have been highlighted in the literature. However, these studies have neglected the social side of sustainability compared with the attention given to the environmental aspects. Addressing this gap, this paper aims to investigate the influence of lean practices on the dimensions of employee social sustainability (ESS), which enabled the identification of the most critical practices. Design/methodology/approach This paper conducted an exploratory study in two phases: first, seeking evidence in the literature, and second, applying the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to connect ESS to lean practices based on expert opinion. Findings From the literature review, this paper found linkages between eight lean manufacturing practices and four dimensions of ESS. Based on evidence from the literature, the authors designed and applied an AHP model to set priorities among lean practices and social dimensions. Therefore, “health and safety” was evaluated as the most critical social dimension, and 5S was considered the most influential lean practice on ESS. Originality/value This study contributed to introducing the perspective of lean manufacturing practices as enablers of ESS. Notably, it pointed out which specific practices should be prioritized in the lean implementation process with social sustainability purposes. In addition, it identified relationships not reported in the literature, raising questions for further investigation.
