“…The smallest value of the concordance coefficient W min , with the significance level α = 0.01 and the degree of freedom ν = n − 1 = 15 − 1 = 14, allowing the authors to assume that the respondents' estimates were consistent, was calculated by Equation (9). The smallest value of the concordance coefficient W min = 0.0400 corresponded to only about one-fifth of the calculated concordance coefficient W = 0.194.…”

“…Experience has shown that passengers usually choose the mode of transport that best suits their personal needs, habits and understanding of the expected quality of traveling. The mode of transport that is the most acceptable to a passenger can be determined by developing a system of criteria and calculating their weights using multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods [5][6][7][8][9]. Passenger loyalty development increases the profits of airline, rail, and road transport companies.…”

Nowadays, travelers can use different modes of transport, and they usually choose the most suitable and reliable mode available. The choice of one mode of transport as an alternative to another is subjective. It is usually built upon passenger attitude toward the advantages and disadvantages of using a particular mode. This article proposes analytical methods for and research results on passenger choices for sustainable train journeys as an alternative to traveling by bus. The rank averages of all criteria and their normalized subjective weights were calculated with reference to new linear (ARTIW-L) and nonlinear (ARTIW-N) methods of average rank transformation into weight. A correlation between sub-criteria rank averages and normalized weights is presented, based on the minimum number of passengers required to be interviewed to provide reliable results. The average ranks assigned by passengers to the evaluation sub-criteria and their global weights were used for determining and describing the most and least important key criteria by applying the inverse hierarchy for assessment of main criteria importance (IHAMCI) method. The analysis shows that the most important key criterion belonged to the sub-criteria characterizing economy, while the less important key criteria included ride comfort. The least important key criteria described safety and environmental protection, whose normalized subjective overall weights were the lowest. Rail transport authorities and companies involved in transporting passengers can make this mode of transport more attractive to people by giving priority to improving the services they provide to passengers.

“…Since websites include multilevel data, evaluation may be carried through different perspectives and samplings. There are several methodologies offered in literature such as content analysis (Kwon and Jeong, 2015), analytic hierarchical process (Bulíček and Drdla, 2015;Ecer, 2014), benchmarking (Johnson and Misic, 1999), decision tree (Sun et al, 2015), balanced scorecard (Kline et al, 2004), quality function deployment (Gonzalez et al, 2015), delphi method (Leite et al, 2014) etc. Though, no agreed method exists (Sun et al, 2015;Law and Buhalis, 2010).…”

“…Since there are various sectors, there are also several websites specialized for different purposes. Some researchers focus on the evaluation of websites serving in a specific area such as e-commerce (Kang et al, 2016), travel and tourism (Law and Bhalis, 2010;Cengiz and Akkuş, 2015), sports (Chiu and Won, 2016), logistics (Bulíček and Drdla, 2015;Jain and Rangnekar, 2015) and health (Raj et al, 2016). Websites are evaluated according to various criteria which are sector specific for some cases.…”

Corporate websites are essential platforms through which firms introduce their goods and services on B2B and B2C level, express financial information for the stakeholders and share corporate values, purposes and activities. Due to its facilities, websites take part in firm positioning strategy. Accordingly this study aims to understand the innovation oriented positioning through corporate websites. The method applied in this study has been adapted from the 2QCV2Q Model developed by Mich and Franch (2000) to evaluate websites and top 30 firms with the highest Research and Development expenditures listed in Turkishtime (2015) have been analyzed. Within this context, this study presents a revised and updated method for the assessments of websites through positioning strategy framework. Findings indicate no direct relationship between website evaluation and R&D expenditure, though some common weaknesses have been put forward, such as information about management of the firms. Besides, publicly traded firms are recognized to facilitate websites more efficiently than non-publicly traded firms. Study contribute to both academia and practitioners as putting forward a new approach for 2QCV2Q Model and indicating the similarities and differences among the corporate websites through positioning perspective.
