Proposed framework for sustainability screening of urban transport projects in developing countries: A case study of Accra, Ghana

Data-driven and adaptive leadership contributing to sustainability: global agri-food supply chains connected with emerging markets

“…Also, satisfaction that provides feeling of equitability with supply chain partners is the key determinants of financial outcomes. In conclusion, these components of financial and non-financial sustainability intersect and affect each others (Batt, 2003;Rao et al, 2006;Aramyan et al, 2007;Gimenez et al, 2012;Jones et al, 2013;Merad et al, 2013). From the above discussion, the following hypotheses are proposed.…”

“…Researchers (e.g., Matos and Hall, 2007;Jones et al, 2013;Merad et al, 2013;Govindan et al, 2014) have proposed that true sustainability can be created by increasing environmental performance (e.g., reusable packaging, material efficiency, wastewater reduction, total waste reduction for recycling, overall impacts and energy consumption), operational performance (e.g. service quality and product quality), relationship performance (trust in and satisfaction with supply chain partners) and financial performance (e.g., sales, profit and market growth).…”

“…service quality and product quality), relationship performance (trust in and satisfaction with supply chain partners) and financial performance (e.g., sales, profit and market growth). We thus define sustainability is a combination of these financial and non financial performances (Batt, 2003;Rao et al, 2006;Aramyan et al, 2007;Gimenez et al, 2012;Jones et al, 2013;Merad et al, 2013) …”

Multi-criteria Evaluation for Ranking Rural Road Projects: Case study of Nepal

“…AHP is a decision making tool used to organize various criteria into a relative hierarchy that allows for comparisons among these criteria relevant to their common goal [27]. The goal of this study is an evaluation of rural road projects based on different criteria of sustainability.…”

“…The weightage of the three criteria of sustainability and sub criteria is found in the normalized matrix of geometric mean of the responses in AHP different experts mentioned above. Geometric mean considers the best methods for synthesizing group judgments' [27]. The consistency index of each response of AHPis calculatedwith the excel sheet software developed by K.D.…”
