“…In this problem structuring method, the fundamental objective was considered as the driving forces in final decision-making (Marttunen et al 2017). Value-focussed thinking is a proven method that is being widely applied in various disciplines, as listed by Sheng et al (2005), as well as in the literature, such as strategic management (Kunz et al 2016), quality management practice (AlMaian et al 2016), environmental management and wall structures (Hassan 2004).…”

A value-based definition of success in adaptive port planning: a case study of the Port of Isafjordur in Iceland

Multiple stakeholders with a wide range of objectives are engaged in a port system. Ports themselves are faced with many uncertainties in this volatile world. To meet stakeholder objectives and deal with uncertainties, adaptive port planning is increasingly being acknowledged. This method offers robust planning, and thereby, a sustainable and flexible port may be developed. The planning process starts with defining success in terms of the specific objectives of stakeholders during the projected lifetime of the port. In the present work, an integrated framework to reach a consensus on the definition of success, involving stakeholders with different influences, stakes and objectives, is presented. The framework synthesises the problem structuring method with stakeholder analysis and combines these with fuzzy logic to support decision-makers in formulating a definition of success in the planning process. Our framework is applied to the Port of Isafjordur, the third busiest port of call for cruise ships in Iceland. Values of stakeholders about port planning were structured around the value-focussed thinking method to identify stakeholder objectives. The highest level of agreement on the objectives, which is viewed here as success in port planning, was revealed by the fuzzy multi-attribute group decisionmaking method. Success was defined, prioritising an increase in competitiveness among other planning objectives, such as effective and efficient use of land, increasing safety and security, increasing hinterland connectivity, increasing financial performance, better environmental implications, flexibility creation and increasing positive economic and social impacts.

Combining Value-Focused Thinking and PROMETHEE Techniques for Selecting a Portfolio of Distributed Energy Generation Projects in the Brazilian Electricity Sector

et al. 2021

This article aims to propose a multi-criteria model to support decision-making from a portfolio in selecting technologies for Distributed Generation of Energy (DGE) projects based on the characteristics of the geographic space in Brazil. The decision model involves using multi-criteria to support the evaluation, prioritization, and selection of projects under a multistage decision-making process that fits into a strategic management cycle within the energy sector of Mato Grosso do Sul (Brazil). The over-classification techniques Preference Ranking Organization Technique for Enrichment Evaluations (PROMETHEE) II and V were applied under the Value-Focused Thinking (VFT) approach, reflecting the decision-maker or manager preferences among several conflicting criteria in the investment context of sustainable distributed energy generation projects. Based on real data, a numerical application is employed to view the steps of this decision model and illustrate the adequacy and effectiveness in practical issues of portfolio management.

“…Research in cluster 4 is the most diverse, however the strongest focus of the cluster is on organisational learning (Almaian et al 2016;Chiang et al 2008;Chinowsky et al 2007;DeVilbiss and Leonard 2000;Knauseder et al 2007;Love et al 2016;Pham and Swierczek 2006;Pries et al 2004;Styhre 2011;Styhre and Josephson 2007). This body of research accounts for 41% of citations in the cluster and will be the focus of this discussion.…”

Tension between Leadership Archetypes: Systematic Review to Inform Construction Research and Practice

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In the literature on construction projects, the role of project managers in maintaining control over tasks and activities has been theorised comprehensively, placing a firm focus on vertical forms of leadership. Increasingly, construction firms are challenged with unprecedented operational uncertainty, brought about by changes to project environments, technology and labour. Similar challenges in other contexts have led to growing research on shared or horizontal approaches to leadership, which have been particularly effective in making organisations more agile in uncertain environments. Through a systematic review of 289 peerreviewed articles on leadership in construction, this paper considers the extent to which traditional vertical approaches to leadership are supplemented with horizontal and emerging balanced approaches to leadership across six bodies of construction leadership research. It contends that despite evidence for the increasing implementation of horizontal leadership practices on construction projects, vertical leadership theory dominates construction leadership research. In comparison, there is a dearth of research addressing horizontal leadership and 2 scarce consideration of balanced leadership. Based on the review, stronger integration of the balanced leadership archetype in research on leadership in construction is proposed as a logical means of advancing leadership theory in relation to six research vectors.
