“…However, power electronics could also increase the overall profitability, but few works assessed and quantified it [120,121]. This way, current recycling technologies must be improved if companies involved in ELV reverse logistic chains are willing to gather the highest profit from EVs [122][123][124][125]. Contrarily, the risk is the same encountered by companies when managing electronic components of ICEVs.…”

The use of electricity for transportation needs offers the chance to replace fossil fuels with greener energy sources. Potentially, coupling sustainable transports with Renewable Energies (RE) could reduce significantly both Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and the dependency on oil imports. However, the expected growth rate of Electric Vehicles (EVs) could become also a potential risk for the environment if recycling processes will continue to function in the current way. To this aim, the paper reviews the international literature on obsolete EV management practices, by considering scientific works published from 2000 up to 2019. Results show that the experts have paid great attention to this topic, given both the critical and valuable materials embedded in EVs and their main components (especially traction batteries), by offering interesting potential profits, and identifying the most promising End-of-Life (EoL) strategy for recycling both in technological and environmental terms. However, the economics of EV recycling systems have not yet been well quantified. The intent of this work is to enhance the current literature gaps and to propose future research streams.

“…step 5 -virtual data; step 6 -develop the business intelligence system and step 7 -analysis. Zhou et al (2018) comment on the use of diffuse technology applied to deal with vague, uncertain and qualitative information, as in the case of sustainable management and the supply chain, or as in the evaluation of recycling partners. A weighting technique is used combining the fuzzy method and the DEMATEL-AEWFVIKOR evaluation.…”

The Balanced Scorecard - BSC is a widely used tool in business management that allows implementing and controlling strategies. Today, in a context that demands efforts from all organizations for sustainable development, the BSC has become an excellent alternative to include sustainability in business management. However, when it comes to small business organizations, management tools like BSC and business sustainability face the greatest difficulties, barriers and limitations. Therefore, the objective is to map the frontier of knowledge that brings together sustainable management and BSC to small companies, allowing visualization of the paths covered and the ones to be taken through science. A systematic bibliographical research was developed identifying and analyzing the main scientific publications that intersect the themes mentioned above. The results show the need to increase research towards understanding and monitoring the transformation of small business management in terms of sustainable development. The importance of the use of management tools to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the whole process has been confirmed, as well as that the BSC can play a relevant role. Thus, with this, researchers are expected to be more interested in the subject and more studies applied in small companies will come to be.

“…The MCDM's goal is to integrate objective survey data with expert subjective judgments and provide effective management information to support decision-makers in developing best strategies [16]. Common methods for determining weights are the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) [17], analytic network process (ANP) [18], best-worst method (BWM) [19], decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) [20], and entropy [21]. Methods for performance integration and evaluation include technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) [22], Visekriterijumska Optimizacija i Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) [23], ELECTRE [18], preference ranking organization method for enrichment evaluation (PROMETHEE) [24], and data envelopment analysis (DEA) [25].…”

A Hybrid MCDM Model for Evaluating Strategic Alliance Partners in the Green Biopharmaceutical Industry

Since the rise of strategic alliances which play such an important role in industry today, the biopharmaceutical industry worldwide has entered an era of rapid change and collaborative thinking. The strategic alliance is one of the most important strategies for the green biopharmaceutical industry. Member organizations in these alliances work together to create more advantageous biotechnologies based on environmental protection to achieve mutual benefits. In the past, there have been only a few studies discussing partner evaluations and the selection process for the green biopharmaceutical industry, so the criteria or indicators are still not complete. Therefore, this study proposes a novel multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) framework for strategic alliance partner evaluation that combines the best-worst method (BWM) and the fuzzy TOPSIS technique based on the concept of aspiration level (called fuzzy TOPSIS-AL) to evaluate the performance and priority rankings of strategic alliance partners. The BWM overcomes the shortcomings of small sample sizes and streamlines the number of conventional pairwise comparisons needed. The fuzzy TOPSIS-AL technique introduces the concept of the aspiration level, thereby leading to more reasonable suggestions for improvement. In addition, data from a multinational green biopharmaceutical company survey are utilized to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the proposed model.
