“…For testing the recommendation framework we compare six well-known normalization techniques using an adapted case study presented in (Arrais-Castro et al , 2015a, 2018). In the spatial-temporal changeable case study context a varying set of criteria is used to evaluate and rate each supplier or potential business partner to better fit the specified requirements in terms of past, present and future evaluation scenarios.…”

“…In the spatial-temporal changeable case study context a varying set of criteria is used to evaluate and rate each supplier or potential business partner to better fit the specified requirements in terms of past, present and future evaluation scenarios. Examples of criteria used to evaluate current data (so-called present matrix of data) proposals sent from different businesses through the use of the platform in (Arrais-Castro et al , 2018) include: price, delivery time, lead time, etc. Historical information regarding the businesses’ performance is gathered in a past matrix .…”

“…Historical information regarding the businesses’ performance is gathered in a past matrix . When analyzing information about the past, in (Arrais-Castro et al , 2018) criteria about previous orders with different constraints are used, such as: price, on time delivery performance and defect delivery rates. Finally, for the future evaluation matrix , in (Arrais-Castro et al , 2018) some forecasting data were also defined, such as performance indexes and prices, i.e.…”

“…basing the assumptions about future values on past performance patterns. After obtaining the input values for all criteria, for the three matrices (past, present and future), all their values must be normalized before any data fusion (aggregation) process can occur (Arrais-Castro et al , 2015a, 2018; Campanella et al , 2012).…”

Purpose Normalization is a crucial step in all decision models, to produce comparable and dimensionless data from heterogeneous data. As such, various normalization techniques are available but their performance depends on a number of characteristics of the problem at hand. Thus, this study aims to introduce a recommendation framework for supporting users to select data normalization techniques that better fit the requirements in different application scenarios, based on multi-criteria decision methods. Design/methodology/approach Following the proposed approach, the authors compare six well-known normalization techniques applied to a case study of selecting suppliers in collaborative networks. Findings With this recommendation framework, the authors expect to contribute to improving the normalization of criteria in the evaluation and selection of suppliers and business partners in dynamic networked collaborative systems. Originality/value This is the first study about comparing normalization techniques for selecting the best normalization in dynamic multiple-criteria decision-making models in collaborative networks.

“…The issue of network competences (along with the access to new markets) is of particular importance in the process of identification, assessment and selection of new partners [66], as well as retaining existing partners. The purpose is to develop and maintain the requisite collaborative capability [58].…”

The effective response to the proliferation and growing diversity and sophistication of cyber threats requires a broad spectrum of competencies, human, technological and financial resources that are in the powers of very few countries. The European Union is addressing this challenge through an initiative to establish one or more cybersecurity competence networks. A number of existing technologies can support collaboration in networked organisations; however, network governance remains a challenge. The study presented in this article aimed to identify and prioritise network governance issues. Towards that purpose, qualitative and quantitative methods were applied in the analysis of norms and regulations, statutory documents of existing networks, academic sources and interviews with representatives of funding organisations and potential major customers. The comprehensiveness and complementarity of these primary sources allowed to identify 33 categories of governance issues and group them in four tiers, indicative of the respective priority level. The results of the study are currently used to inform and orient the development of alternative models for governance of a cybersecurity network and a set of criteria for their evaluation. They will support informed decision-making on the most appropriate governance model of a future networked organisation, evolving from a project consortium.
