“…In some previous studies, we use single MCDM methodology in a variety of contexts. For instance, extended TOPSIS model for solving multi-attribute decision making problems in engineering (Aikhuele & Turan, 2017), TOPSIS for selection of the all-time best World XI test cricket team (Chakraborty et al, 2019) as well as for identifying effective criteria in agile project management and ranking projects regarding the employer and the contractor's perception (Pourkhandani, & Iranban,2014), FTOPSIS method for knowledge management processes to prioritize organizations (Shirouyehzad et al, 2015) as well as for in supporting supplier selection with focus on HSE criteria in the oil and gas industry (Haddad et al, 2021), TOPSIS method for the selection of a car by using hypothetical data (Abdal, 2020), FTOPSIS for evaluating project management standards based on EFQM Criteria (Golpîra, 2014), combined FAHP and TOPSIS decision model for selecting the best firewall alternative (Cubukcu & Cantekin, 2022), FAHP and TOPSIS methods for risk evaluation of gas transmission facility (Farokhi, 2019).…”

An increase in investment is required to support the growth and expansion of the industrial sector in a given country. But the planning and ranking of investments must consider financial resource constraints, high investment risk, the frequency of needs and goals, as well as an unfavorable pattern of investments in the production sectors and industries. To ascertain ranking and economic viability for the investment sectors, this study used optimization techniques called TOPSIS, VIKOR, and COPRAS. From 2020 to 2022, this study was conducted for the Debre Berhan City Administration. The study's findings include investment criteria and outline the importance of certain investment areas. The final findings of this study show that, according to TOPSIS, VIKOR, and COPRAS, the current industrial investment pattern is not ideal investment priorities need to be changed. As a result of the above three optimization techniques; spinning, weaving, and finishing of textile fabric’s sector have been ranked first.

“…In the context of conflicting criteria, MCDM is a generic term for all methods that help people decide based on their preferences [88]. Problem owners can apply MCDMs to deal with the complexity of decision problems [89]. The advantages of these methods are that they can simultaneously handle conflicting goals and multiple stakeholders [90].…”

Because of hyper-complexity, a difficulty to define, multiple stakeholders with conflicting perspectives, and a lack of clear-cut solutions, wicked problems necessitate innovative and adaptive strategies. Operations research (OR) has been a valuable tool for managers to make informed decisions for years. However, as we face increasingly complex and messy problems, it has become apparent that relying solely on either hard or soft OR approaches is no longer sufficient. We need to explore more innovative methodologies to address these wicked problems effectively. This study has bridged the research gap by proposing a structured process encompassing a subdivision-based problem structuring method for defining the wicked problem, a multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) for prioritizing subproblems, and a hard OR technique, data envelopment analysis (DEA) for tackling one of the most critical subdivisions. The proposed methodology, the subdivision-based problem structuring method (SPSM), implemented in a case study, focuses on a higher education institution experiencing a decline in student admissions and involves five steps. First, a diverse group of stakeholders is formed to ensure the comprehensive consideration of perspectives. Second, the wicked problem is defined, considering long-term consequences, multiple stakeholders, and qualitative stakeholder opinions. Third, a hierarchical structure is created to break down the wicked problem into manageable subproblems. Fourth, a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method prioritizes subproblems. Finally, the subproblems are addressed one by one using a combination of soft and hard OR tools. The findings highlight the benefits of integrating hard and soft OR approaches. The study concludes with reflections on the implications of using a combined OR approach to tackle wicked problems in higher education and beyond.
