“…These strategies are being applied both to the production side and to transportation, which is responsible for a quarter of all CO 2 emissions (Grant et al, 2009). The main methodology employed to evaluate environmental impacts has been the analysis of "eco-balance", based on a collection of indicators of sustainability and environmental impacts using solid theoretical reasoning (Herva and Roca, 2013). This technique has proved effective in guiding decision-making processes and for establishing a practical evaluation framework for monitoring (Cerutti et al, 2010).…”

“…Indeed, some writers maintain that it is only in agricultural systems that are sustainable over the long term that the output of all of the components in the system is capable of balancing the input (Lal, 2008). This view of sustainable agriculture, although accepted by the majority of researchers and technicians working in the field, is vague with regard to the actual methods for achieving sustainability (Lichtfouse et al, 2009;Herva and Roca, 2013). In the context of fruit production, there are various sets of guidelines ranging from those that attempt to optimise profitability (conventional production) to those that respect certain norms relative to sustainability (organic production) or that lead to intermediate systems, such as integrated production.…”

“…Some approaches are based on traditional methods like Multi-Attribute Analysis technique (MAA) (see e.g., [12]), Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) (see e.g., [10,36]), Analytical Network Process (ANP) (see [1,11]) and others specifically developed models (see e.g., [22]). Several references to diverse applications of multi-criteria analysis can be foun to specific issues in corporate environmental evaluation in [15].…”

Abstract:The need for organizations to evaluate their environmental practices has been recently increasing. This fact has led to the development of many approaches to appraise such practices. In this paper, a novel decision model to evaluate company's environmental practices is proposed to improve traditional evaluation process in different facets. Firstly, different reviewers' collectives related to the company's activity are taken into account in the process to increase company internal efficiency and external legitimacy. Secondly, following the standard ISO 14031, two general categories of environmental performance indicators, management and operational, are considered. Thirdly, since the assumption of independence among environmental indicators is rarely verified in environmental context, an aggregation operator to bear in mind the relationship among such indicators in the evaluation results is proposed. Finally, this new model integrates quantitative and qualitative information with different scales using a multi-granular linguistic model that allows to adapt diverse evaluation scales according to appraisers' knowledge.

“…Several applications of the AHP have emerged in current literature across various disciplines. For the current developments, theoretical extensions, and applications of the AHP, see the reviews of Vaidya and Kumar (2006), Ho (2008), Sipahi and Timor (2010), Ishizaka andLabib (2011), Subramanian andRamanathan (2012), Herva and Roca (2013). The contribution of this work lies in identifying general appropriate criteria for each level of an organization.…”

Currently, there has been limited established specific set of criteria for personnel promotion to each level of the organization particularly among retail industries. This study is conducted in order to develop a personnel promotion strategy by identifying specific sets of criteria for each level of the organization. The complexity of identifying the criteria set along with the subjectivity of these criteria require the use of multi-criteria decision-making approach particularly the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Results show that for first line management, the specific criteria set are: trustworthiness, job involvement, creative and innovative skills, younger generation, and family of businesses. For the middle management, the specific criteria set are: job involvement, creative and innovative skills, trustworthiness, family of business, and education credentialing. And for the top management, the specific criteria set are: strategic and organizational skills, organizational commitment, creative and innovative skills, content specific knowledge and skills, and strategic entrepreneurial connections. These intend also to help avoid mismatch of employee skills and competencies and their job, and at the same time eliminate the issues in personnel promotion such as favoritism, glass ceiling, and gender and physical attractiveness preference. The contribution of this work is in identifying relevant criteria in developing a personnel promotion strategy across organizational levels.
