“…Assim, para solucionar qualquer problema de decisão, independente do seu nível de complexidade, faz-se necessário um método de estruturação de problemas para melhor compreensão e identificação das variáveis envolvidas (Belton & Stewart, 2002;Laouris & Michaelides, 2018 Portanto, frente a um determinado problema de decisão que envolva múltiplos critérios, o decisor pode formular o problema a depender do seu contexto e do tipo de problemática (Roy, 1996).…”

A natureza competitiva dos mercados com foco em questões puramente econômicas, ainda que seja condição necessária para permanecer competindo em algum setor da indústria, não é mais condição suficiente. Os aspectos sociais e ambientais passaram a fazer parte da agenda estratégica dos tomadores de decisão e têm sido incorporados ao escopo de objetivos que norteiam as decisões corporativas. Neste sentido, o presente artigo propôs a aplicação da metodologia Value Focused Thinking (VFT) em conjunto com o método de apoio à decisão PROMETHEE II para identificação e priorização de ações socioambientais em contexto organizacional. A metodologia utilizada possui natureza qualitativa e quantitativa, baseando-se em aplicações do campo da Pesquisa Operacional. Por fim, com a intenção de validar o modelo proposto, um estudo de caso é apresentado como objeto de investigação.

“…The SDD methodology employs Interpretive Structural Modelling, which is incorporated in the Cogniscope™ system (Chirstakis, 1996) which eliminates the Erroneous Priorities Effect phenomenon by using mathematical algorithms in order to guarantee that the influence the actions have on each other are prioritized (Flanagan & Christakis, 2009;Laouris, 2012;Laouris & Michealides, 2017).…”

The purpose of this study is to investigate ways to identify the challenges of integration of minority groups, such as migrants, ethnic/racial minorities, and refugees in Swedish-speaking Ostrobothnia by using the Structured Democratic Dialogue (SDD) as a participatory methodology. This particular method was selected for this study with the purpose to bring all identified stakeholders in the society together to collaboratively and collectively identify and further discuss the challenges and obstacles they face. The Co-laboratory brought together twelve participants with a diverse socio-economical and educational background in Vasa, Finland. Based on the influence map generated by the participants as a result of the workshop, social inclusion was revealed to be one of the most important indicators hindering the integration of minority groups at the local level. In particular, silent acceptance of racism or racist comments were according to the participants the most influential factor preventing the successful integration of ethnic minorities in Swedish-speaking Ostrobothnia.

“…There is a need to conceptualise organisational participation through analysing the complex linkages between intervention, participation and empowerment (Midgley & Ochoa-Arias, 1999;White, 2006). The work from a Community OR perspective is acknowledged here on the problem of a discursive ethic or 'communicative competency' inherent in these linkages (see Romm & Hsu, 2002, and Gregory & Romm, 2001Laouris & Michaelides, 2017;Midgley et al, 2017; for discussions).…”

For over 50 years Operational Researchers have advocated that Operational Research (OR) could be considered as a useful set of ideas and methods for the benefit of society. However, this aspiration, while still chiming today, has yet to realise its full potential. This paper focuses on organisations whose remit is to alleviate social problems, and therefore have a social purpose. They are under considerable pressure to demonstrate the impact of the work they do. However, showing the value of these organisations is not easy. The paper contributes to this research gap by developing a framework for measuring the impact of social purpose organisations. This is accomplished by bringing together current research on Sen's capability approach and configurational theory, and arguing for an integrative view to show the value of social purpose organisations.
