Cloud computing has been regarded as one of the significant Information Technology (IT) tools. Many sectors are adopting cloud computing services for its business support. It has also become a new IT paradigm that has transformed the E-Learning system to become more user-friendly. As a result, the E-Learning usage is growing rapidly and being preferred over the conventional teaching-learning process in a big way. This revolutionary change is attributed to the advancement in digital technology. The transformation in digital technology has made the teaching-learning process flexible, easy and convenient for effective knowledge transfer. The cloud-based E-Learning process depends upon many factors of different dimensions that are of significant importance for cloud-based-E-Learning success. Hence they must be studied to successfully analyze their level of importance and fulfill Cloud-based E-Learning positive effectiveness. The current research provides a detailed literature review for cloud-based E-Learning Critical Success Factors (CSFs) of teaching-learning process. Further, the research employs the combinatorial approach to evaluate the diversified dimensions and CSFs of cloud-based E-Learning that helps in quantifying and comparing the influence of various dimensions and CSFs of cloud-based-E-Learning. Four dimensions and fourteen factors have been identified through in-depth literature review and later on evaluated for the prioritization using a combinatorial approach. The influence of such dimensions and factors will help various stakeholders to plan their strategy and resources for the betterment of knowledge transfer through cloud-based-E-Learning.INDEX TERMS Analytic hierarchy process (AHP), cloud-based E-learning, combinatorial approach, critical success factors (CSFs), Fuzzy AHP, cloud-based E-learning, group decision making (GDM).

“…This phase examines whether the pairs obtained are sufficiently consistent or not. There may be chances of some inconsistencies during the evaluation process of pair-wise comparisons and the AHP takes care of these inconsistencies in the model (Talib et al , 2011; Azam et al , 2015). Consistency Ratio (CR) is used to check these inconsistencies and is obtained from the ratio of the consistency of the results being tested to the consistency of the same problem evaluated with a random number.…”

PurposeTypically, adoption of sustainability in organizations are often done in an unstructured way without the consideration of other partners in the supply chain. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a coherent plan to improve sustainability in the supply chains utilizing ISO standards for environment and social responsibility.Design/methodology/approachThis paper draws on literature on ISO14000 and ISO26000 to derive a set of variables applicable to supply chains, which are then prioritized for real organizations utilizing analytic hierarchy process.FindingsThe findings highlight that not all the variables of environmental, social and economic responsibility are equally important. Besides, the work reported in this paper justifies the application of multi-criteria decision-making (AHP) to prioritize elements of sustainability in context supply chains. The suggested method is illustrated using inputs from large manufacturing companies in Qatar.Practical implicationsISO14000 and ISO26000 are well known standards; however, there was no effort to integrate these standards to improve sustainability in supply chains. The suggested methodology provides invaluable help to the managers to implement sustainability in a coherent manner across the supply chain.Originality/valueThe research contributes to the extant literature by proposing a new methodology based on the integration of three-approaches: Analytic Hierarchy Process, ISO14000 and ISO26000 systems.

“…The AHP is a multiple criteria decision making method that utilizes pairwise comparisons to select the best alternative given a set of criteria (Basak, 2018;Fico, Gaeta, Arredondo, & Pecchia, 2015;Hummel, Bridges, & Ijzerman, 2014;Liberatore & Nydick, 2008;Mohammad, Qureshi, & Faisal, 2015;Saaty, 2013;Toth & Vacik, 2018). The alternatives and criteria underlying a problem are presented in a hierarchy, where pairwise comparisons are conducted to ascertain "… the impact of items on one level of the hierarchy on the next higher level" (Liberatore & Nydick, 2008, p. 195).…”

“…The process is advantageous in circumstances where it is difficult to establish the relative weight and/or value of each alternative (Render, Stair, & Hanna, 2011). Additionally, the process has been described as favourable compared with other multiple criteria decision making methods as it measures and considers the inconsistency level across judgements throughout evaluation (Liberatore & Nydick, 2008;Mohammad et al, 2015).…”

The lack of inclusive, accessible housing that meets the needs of people with physical and cognitive disability is a global issue. The inadequacy of inclusive housing development is partly a result of divergent priorities and poor coordination between housing, health, and disability sector stakeholders—public and private developers, designers, architects, occupational therapists, and disability service organizations. This paper provides findings from an Australian Research Council funded study where the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was utilized to compare and contrast inclusive housing development priorities among relevant stakeholders. A multistage process was undertaken to ascertain the AHP criteria for inclusive housing development decisions, including a systematic review of peer‐reviewed and grey literature, in addition to a structured focus group with end users (n = 17) and an industry stakeholder online survey (n = 130). Finally, a subgroup of industry stakeholders (n = 29) representing the housing, health, and disability sectors completed the AHP to establish decision priorities. The final AHP model indicated three broad clusters of decision priorities for inclusive accessible housing development: end‐user connectedness, building considerations, and feasibility, respectively. Global weights conclude that specific end‐user connectedness elements, namely, “access to health care,” “community engagement,” “proximity to transport,” and “security and safety,” were the foremost priorities. It is expected that inclusive housing development decisions that integrate the connectedness of end users first and foremost, with building and feasibility priorities, will favourably impact the housing opportunities and choices for people with disability.
