Celebrity endorsement is a critical and positive commercial promotional tool. With the increasing number of international sports celebrities, many sporting and non-sporting goods companies use such celebrities to promote their products. This study develops a model for selecting sports celebrity endorsers. A Chinese sporting brand company is the target of this study. The proposed model adopts the modified Delphi method to identify suitable criteria and applies the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to determine the criteria's relative weights. The selected company exemplifies how the model can guide the selection of sports celebrity endorsers. The model ranks the importance to the target company of five criteria: trustworthiness, match-up, attractiveness, risk and expertise. The proposed model allows the company to select sports celebrity endorsers effectively, and contributes to academia and commerce.

I created a framework for prioritizing the factors that influence women's cognitive bias toward slimness (WCBS), using multiple processes (modified Delphi method and analytic hierarchy process method) to overcome the limitation of using a single approach, and providing a visualization model to understand the problem and identify factors that influence WCBS. After 2 rounds of modified Delphi surveys and an analytic hierarchy process survey were completed by a panel of 16 experts, I constructed a model in which it was revealed that the priority (strength of influence) of the 4 identified WCBS dimensions was as follows: (1) mass media, (2) important others, (3) social factors, and (4) individual factors. My findings may help the mass media and educational institutions achieve social benefits by making accurate assessments and recommendations regarding WCBS.

This study develops a model for selecting videos for city marketing. First, Modified Delphi Method was used to find suitable criteria to evaluate videos of city marketing. Next, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to determine the relative weights of the criteria. A local government in Taiwan is used as an example of how videos for city marketing can be selected with this model. Furthermore, this study found that there is a gap in the weights of criteria identified between operators and governments. Finally, this study used sensitivity analysis to survey the criterion weight of the degree of influence with an alternative hierarchy, making it applicable for academia and commerce.

The script of a drama is key to achieving an outstanding performance. This study develops a new model for selecting the scripts of Taiwanese dramas based on the production manager's perceptions. First, the proposed model adopts the modified delphi method to determine suitable evaluative criteria for the scripts of contemporary Taiwanese dramas. Next, the model applies the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to determine the relative weights of evaluative criteria, thereafter rating the alternatives and selecting the best script. Additionally, a Taiwanese company is used how the scripts of Taiwanese dramas can be selected using this model. The results indicate that important criteria, in order of important, are characteristics of the story, the subject matter of the script, the meaning of the words, and the scriptwriter. The proposed model helps companies to effectively select the scripts of Taiwanese dramas, making it highly applicable for academia and commerce.

Background: Because routine nursing quality indicators are not suitable to evaluate pediatric oncology nursing care, this study aimed to identify a set of quality indicators for pediatric oncology nursing care in mainland China. Method: This prospective investigation utilized a modified Delphi technique and an analytic hierarchy process. A survey questionnaire was developed using a literature review and semi-structured interviews. Fifteen invited experts evaluated the importance of potential indicators through three rounds of Delphi survey by email in 2018. The importance weight of each indicator was identified through analytic hierarchy process. Results: In the Delphi survey, the average authoritative coefficient was 0.93–0.96 for each round of the inquiry. After three rounds of survey, 29 quality indicators were identified as important nursing outcomes for assessing the quality of pediatric oncology nursing care in mainland China. The importance rating mean score of indicators ranged between 4.67–5.00 on a 5-point scale, and the variation coefficient ranged between 0–0.19. Expert-assigned indicator importance weight varied between 0.0040–0.0870. Conclusion: This study identified an indicator system with 29 nursing-sensitive quality indicators that may represent potential indicator candidates for quality assessment of pediatric oncology nursing practice in mainland China.
