“…In this section, the various methodologies employed by those researching on the successful implementation of GM and environmental-friendly manufacturing are reviewed. There are a few methods that have been developed and utilised in analysing GM implementation factors such as ISM-MICMAC (Thanki Shashank and Thakkar, 2018;Seth et al, 2018;Digalwar Abhijeet et al, 2017;Bhanot et al, 2017), multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) (Toke and Kalpande, 2019;Thanki and Thakkar, 2019;Chen and Bidanda, 2019;Luo et al, 2018;Gandhi et al, 2018;Barzegar et al, 2018;Mittal and Sangwan, 2014;Garg et al, 2014) and structural equation modelling (SEM) (Belhadi et al, 2020;Yacob et al, 2019;Wang, 2019;Ceptureanu et al, 2018;Aboelmaged, 2018). For this research study, a holistic approach is required to capture the interdependencies between variables in the successful implementation of GM in Irish SMEs.…”
