“…DEMATEL was introduced by Battle Memorial Institute between 1972 and 1976 (Salehi et al , 2020). This method is based on directed graphs (known as digraphs) which separates involved criteria into cause group and effect group.…”

“…Results indicated that lack of resources has the strongest causal relationship among the 24 UTT barriers. Furthermore, Salehi et al, (2020) employed the DEMATEL technique and Analytic network process (ANP) /method known as DANP to identify the relationship between technology barriers at the supply chain level and prioritise them. The results of DEMATEL showed that the strategic barrier indicator acts as the most influential, and the supply chain management barrier indicator is the most impotent one.…”

PurposeThis paper aims to recognise and identify fears of failure in the international entrepreneurship ecosystem and find the effects of these fears on each other to reduce these increasing effects and minimise the mental barriers for potential entrepreneurs. Therefore, this research is beneficial to strengthen international entrepreneurial personality and to reduce the shadows of fears on entrepreneurs’ minds. To address this purpose the international tourism industry has been investigated in the emerging economy of Iran.Design/methodology/approachThis paper is organised based on experts' opinions, and then factors are identified by literature review and are finalised through the Delphi method with a panel of practical and academic experts. These fears are categorised using a questionnaire and factor analysis (FA) technique. The respondents were entrepreneurship students and tourism entrepreneurs. Subsequently, the effect and importance of fears of failure are scored and ranked by some experts. These fears were analysed through decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method. The results presented the effects of fears of failure in the international entrepreneurial in the tourism industry and the relationship amongst them.FindingsThe first two fears are respectively “fears of future” which are caused by the unclear situation; and “fear of losing credit” that is due to the importance of “personal relationships” in Iranians culture. As pointed out by results, “fear of future” is the most effective group of factors that may lead to other fears too. This fear seems important in the international entrepreneurial tourism industry because of future ambiguity.Originality/valueThis study indicates the relations between groups of fears and offers some practical and applicable solutions to reduce these effects. To the best knowledge of the authors, analysing the relationship between fears amongst the entrepreneurs has not been investigated previously.

“…While the supply chain (SC) concept has attracted interest among academics, policymakers, and companies [ 1 , 2 , 3 ], its success in any organisation may be compromised by a variety of factors, including high demand volatility, short product life cycles, and varying customer requirements [ 4 , 5 ]. Addressing these issues is difficult due to the complex nature of SCs [ 6 ].…”

Health systems are recognised as playing a potentially important role in many risk management strategies; however, there is strong evidence that health systems themselves have been the victims of unanticipated risks and have lost their functionality in providing reliable services. Existing risk identification and assessment tools in the health sector, particularly in the blood supply chain, address and evaluate risks without taking into account their interdependence and a holistic perspective. As a result, the aim of this paper is to develop a new systemic framework based on a semi-quantitative risk assessment approach to measure supply chain risks, which will be implemented through a case study on the Iranian BSC. This paper identifies and assesses supply chain risks (SCRs) by employing a novel systemic process known as SSM-SNA-ISM (SSI). First, the supply chain and its risks are identified using Soft Systems Methodology (SSM). Then, given the large number of risks, the second stage uses Social Network Analysis (SNA) to identify the relationships between the risks and select the most important ones. In the third stage, risk levelling is performed with a more in-depth analysis of the selected risks and the application of Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM), and further analysis is performed using the Cross-Impact Matrix Multiplication Applied to Classification (MICMAC). The study found that by using the new proposed approach, taking into account risk relationships, and taking a holistic view, various supply chain risks could be assessed more effectively, especially when the number of risks is large. The findings also revealed that resolving the root risks of the blood supply chain frequently necessitates management skills. This paper contributes to the literature on supply chain risk management in two ways: First, a novel systemic approach to identifying and evaluating risks is proposed. This process offers a fresh perspective on supply chain risk modelling by utilising systems thinking tools. Second, by identifying Iranian BSC risks and identifying special risks.

Dünya, 2020 yılı başından itibaren insan sağlığı için ciddi bir tehdit oluşturan Covid-19 ile karşı karşıya kalmıştır. Covid-19 kaynaklı ölümler üzerinde etkili faktörlerin belirlenmesi virüsle mücadele kapsamında oldukça önemli olup birçok araştırmaya konu olmuştur. Çok ölçütlü karar verme yöntemleri, karar problemi üzerinde etkili olabilecek tüm faktörleri birlikte değerlendirme olanağı sağlayarak karar vericinin etkin sonuca ulaşmasını destekleyen yöntemlerdir. Bu çalışmada, Covid-19 hastalığının risk grubunu oluşturan faktörler çok ölçütlü karar verme yapısına uygun olarak incelenmiştir. Bir problemi etkileyen faktörlerin etkileme gücünü ölçebilen yöntemlerden biri olan DEMATEL (Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) yöntemi yardımıyla genel kabul görmüş faktörlerin farklı bir açıdan değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Literatürden çalışmanın amacına uygun veriler derlenmiş ve çeşitli kaynaklarda referans olarak verilen faktörler tespit edilmiştir. Ölümler üzerinde etkili olduğu bilinen bu risk faktörlerinin farklı eşik değerleri için sayısal analizleri yapılarak birbirlerini etkileme düzeyleri araştırılmıştır. Eşik değerler belirlenirken virüsün yayılma seyri olan göz önünde bulundurulmuş ve farklı periyotlar için uygulanacak stratejiler bakımından baz alınabilecek sonuçlar üzerinde durulmuştur. Son olarak, çok ölçütlü analiz sonuçları DEMATEL yönteminin temel prensiplerine uygun olarak yorumlanmıştır.
