The rapid development of information technology and electronic products has had a profound impact on global business activities and the quality of human life. To maintain competitiveness among enterprises, contribute to society, and protect the environment while maintaining profits, electronics manufacturers must move toward sustainable development. This paper proposes the following four dimensions for sustainable supplier evaluation and selection (SSES): economic, social, environmental, and institutional sustainability. These dimensions can be subdivided into 20 criteria, which constitute the SSES framework of electronics manufacturing. A modified indifference threshold-based attribute ratio analysis (ITARA) technique is proposed to obtain the objective weights of the criteria and the preference ranking organization method for enrichment evaluation based on aspiration level concept (PROMETHEE-AL) method is applied to integrate the performances of sustainable suppliers and determine their rankings. The modified ITARA and PROMETHEE-AL methods are integrated as a hybrid decision-making analysis model, which improves the conventional ITARA and PROMETHEE methods and introduces the concept of aspiration level to enhance their practical applicability. In addition, through model comparisons and sensitivity analysis, the robustness of the proposed model is demonstrated and more potential management information and suggestions are obtained. The study results can help decision-makers in the industry and academic researchers to better understand how systematic supplier selection can be conducted in electronics manufacturing. This study provides a complete SSES approach to support decision-makers and practitioners in easily determining the performance of alternative suppliers. For researchers, the proposed decision-making model can be used as a research basis for SSES to facilitate the development of other more forward-looking methodologies.

Governments worldwide are cognizant of the deficiencies of measuring quality of life according to gross domestic product; consequently, they have created indicators of citizen well-being that can be applied in governmental policy. To improve citizens’ lives, governments should create an environment with maximal quality of life, ideal material living conditions, and sustainable well-being and determine the true needs of citizens. This paper proposes a hybrid multiple-attribute decision-making model with a modified PROMETHEE method that can identify practical performance-improvement strategies for the sustainable development of a better life by accounting for the complex dependencies among the indicators. In the proposed model, an influential network relation map is first obtained using the DEMATEL method to delineate the interrelationships among the indicators. Second, to address the feedback and dependence concerns associated with interrelationships among criteria, the influence weights are identified through the DANP method. Finally, the degree of preference is determined through the modified PROMETHEE method and combined with the influence weights to calculate flow indicators, which facilitate attaining the aspiration level. The aspiration level is set and an aspiration alternative is identified as an improvement benchmark to facilitate continual melioration and sustainable development of a better life. This model uses the OECD well-being indicators consisting of 11 dimensions and 24 criteria to measure material living conditions (namely housing, income, jobs) and quality of life (namely civic engagement, community, education, environment, health, life satisfaction, safety, and work–life balance). An empirical case study was performed to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed model by using questionnaire data of six cities in Taiwan. Our results prove that the proposed model (aspired-worst as benchmark) outperforms the traditional model (max–min as benchmark) and that it can obtain more realistic net flows and an improvement benchmark to conduct ranking, selection, and continual improvement for facilitating sustainable development of a better life.

With the growing prevalence of mobile devices, the use of near-field communication (NFC) technology has increased constantly in recent years. Scholars expect NFC technology to be used to develop new campuses with sustainable education environments for safely transferring information or services. In campuses, the decisions to adopt NFC technology considers multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problems, which require multicriteria decision analysis that in turn involves the feedback and interdependence effects among criteria/dimensions. This paper proposes an improvement model that could facilitate NFC technology promotion for creating the sustainable education environment in a campus (Kainan University of Taiwan). Furthermore, in this model, the interdependence and feedback effects among criteria/dimensions, optimal alternative selections, and systematic improvements for NFC technology promotion can be addressed by using a hybrid modified MADM model, which integrating the decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method, the DEMATEL-based analytic network process (DANP) method and the modified VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) method. Finally, an empirical case for improving NFC technology promotion in the context of creating the sustainable education environment is presented to prove the proposed model. The results revealed that government policy was the largest driver in NFC technology promotion and the most influential criterion for creating the sustainable education environment, and that alternative C (educational institution) should be the first improvement priority. Furthermore, the comparative results revealed that the proposed method is better than the traditional method because using hybrid modified MADM model can obtain the most realistic performance-gap to innovation and determine the most effective improvement plan towards achieving the aspiration value.

Although the electronic health record (EHR) is a promising innovation in the healthcare industry, the implementation of EHR has been relatively slow. A theoretical structure for the exploration and improvement of this usage of EHR is proposed. Incorporating the theoretical structure of TOE (technology-organization-environment), we apply the DEMATEL (decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory) technique to illustrate the influence-matrix and to construct the INRM (influential network relationship map). Based on this DEMATEL influence matrix and the fundamental concepts of ANP (Analytic Hierarchy Process), we derive influential weights for the criteria. These influential weights are then combined with the modified VIKOR (VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje) method to find ways to understand and enhance the usage of EHR technology. The outcome demonstrates that our model can not only be used for implementation of EHR technology, but can also be applied to analyze the gaps in performance between the aspiration level and present performance values in individual criterion/dimension.
