Complex Decision

Die Standortwahl stellt ein komplexes Entscheidungsproblem dar. Besonders in der Ernährungswirtschaft spielen dabei neben den bekannten Standortfaktoren auch zunehmend weitere Faktoren, wie die Wahrnehmung der Branche in der Öffentlichkeit, eine Rolle. Im Rahmen einer Expertenbefragung wurden 70 Experten aus vier Bereichen der Ernährungswirtschaft um ihre Einschätzung zu verschiedenen Standortfaktoren gebeten. Die Befragungsergebnisse wurden in einem Strukturgleichungsmodell genutzt, um die Relevanz der verschiedenen Einflussfaktoren für die wahrgenommene Standortattraktivität zu bestimmen. Die Wahrnehmung (in) der Öffentlichkeit erweist sich dabei als besonders bedeutsame Determinante. The choice of location is a complex decision-making problem. Particularly in the food industry, other factors, such as the public perception of the sector, are playing an increasingly important role in addition to the known location factors. As part of an expert survey, 70 experts from four areas of the food industry were asked to assess various location factors. The survey results were used in a structural equation model to determine the relevance of the various influencing factors for the perceived attractiveness of the location. The perception of (or in) the public proves to be a particularly important determinant.

The Impact

The Swiss Armed Forces (SAF), as part of a democratic system, depends on legitimacy. Democracy, legitimacy and the public are closely connected. In the public sphere the SAF need to be visible; it is where they are controlled and legitimated by the citizens, as part of a deliberative discussion in which political decisions are communicatively negotiated. Considering this, the meaning of political communication, including the SAF’s communication, becomes obvious as it forms the most important basis for political legitimation processes. Social media provide a new way for the SAF to communicate and interact directly with the population. The SAF’s social media communication potentially brings it closer to the people and engages them in a dialogue. The SAF can become more transparent and social media communication may increase its reputation and legitimacy. To measure the effects of social media communication, a survey of the Swiss internet population was conducted. Based on this data, a structural equation model was defined, the effects of which substantiate the assumption that the SAF benefits from being on social media in terms of broadening its reach and increasing legitimacy values.

Complex Decision

When solving a Multi-Criteria Decision-Making problem of any degree of complexity, many researchers rely on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). To consider mutual connections between criteria and clusters at the same level and not only the hierarchical structure between criteria and subcriteria, researchers often upgrade from AHP to the Analytic Network Process (ANP), which also examines the interdependency of criteria. However, the ANP method requires a large number of pairwise comparisons. In the case of a complex decision-making problem, the authors of this paper suggest upgrading the AHP method with the graph theory and matrix approach (GTMA) for several reasons: (1) The new method is based on digraphs and permanent value computation, which does not require a hypothesis about interdependency; (2) in case of similar alternatives, the distinguishable coefficient of the new method is higher than those computed for AHP and ANP; (3) the new method allows decision makers to rank comparable alternatives and to combine structurally similar methods without increasing the number of comparisons and the understanding of the results. The developed method (AH-GTMA) is validated by a numerical example of a complex decision-making problem based on a symmetrical set of similar alternatives, a third party logistic provider (3PLP) selection problem.

The Relationship

Clarifying the relationship between public cognition and satisfaction with meteorological service is an important way to adapt to and mitigate climate change. This article first proposes an innovative concept on public meteorological cognition. Also, based on the survey data from 3,029 questionnaires on public cognition of meteorological disasters in Shenzhen city of China, the relationship among public cognition, perceived value, and meteorological service satisfaction is evaluated using a structural equation model. Research results demonstrate that (a) public cognition can significantly affect service satisfaction. (b) Shenzhen residents are generally satisfied with meteorological service, particularly during the typhoon season. However, the residents are dissatisfied with the availability of information on meteorological disaster warnings. (c) Both public meteorological cognition and perceived value of meteorological service significantly affect public satisfaction. (d) The public meteorological cognition can be improved by increasing the perceived value of meteorological service, which further enhances public satisfaction.

Motorcycle-related road accidents are the most frequent cause of road traffic injuries reported in Malaysia. One of the key approaches of the Safe System strategy used internationally to address the road casualty reduction goals and targets for interim and long term planning was by improving the vehicle safety system. In this study, feedback regarding the prevention methods that could help reduce the occurrence of motorcycle accidents was obtained from drivers and motorcyclists. In total, five components of safety prevention methods were established and quantitative data were measured from a set of questionnaires distributed all over Malaysia. The questionnaires were designed to understand the public perception on effective methods to address the current road safety issues. Items in the questionnaire were analysed by Structural Equation Modelling using AMOS 25.0 to enable an informed decision based on the data obtained. The primary objectives of this study are to assess the validity and reliability of the measurement model using structural equation modelling based on the public perception of motorcyclists safety prevention methods. In this study, all the measurement models achieved their validity and reliability at the required level. The fitness index based on CR and AVE values were higher than 0.50, thereby indicating that the measurement model achieved the level of acceptance required. In addition, the constructed variables were statistically significant based on the factor loading values that were greater than 0.6 for each construct.

The management of tourism, hospitality and events is often consumed with solving problems. Whether it be the daily operation of the business or planning for the future, the manager must make decisions concerning problems that are faced by the organisation. Senior management are often responsible for solving the more complicated problems and issues. These may include having to deal with external stakeholders and the public, who have vested interests in particular outcomes. Solving problems at scale creates challenges for the manager of an organisation or destination. This chapter considers the ways in which problems can be evaluated and solved and alternatives for some of the bigger issues that senior managers and organisations face. It opens with a discussion of traditional approaches to solving problems; those which individuals generally take in their day-to-day lives. It is argued that this does not work well for the types of issues faced by senior managers. Two alternative approaches are introduced which can provide insights into problems and assist in unravelling the issues involved in complex decision-making.

Personal Norms

In order to solve the environmental problems caused by the increasing private car use in China, such as transport energy consumption, traffic congestion, and air pollution, many policy measures including car purchase taxes, restrictions on car use in the city center, and incentives to promote electric vehicles have been developed. By taking Hangzhou, a low-carbon metropolitan city in China, as an illustrative example, green transport policies have been proactively implemented in order to turn the metropolitan city into an ecologically livable city. However, citizens’ acceptance of comprehensive green transport policies has seldom been studied and explored, which is actually quite valuable information for implementing and assessing the effectiveness of green transport policies. This study presents a new integrated framework by extending the value belief norm (VBN) theory in order to explore the internal factors for predicting citizens’ acceptance of comprehensive green transport policies and other pro-environmental behaviors in the transport field. A survey on car use reduction was conducted among citizens in Hangzhou and a quantitative analysis was performed using a structural equation model (SEM) method. Results show that personal norms can successfully predict citizens’ acceptance of pull policies for reducing car use, while is less capable of predicting that of push ones. The theoretical implications of different pro-environmental behaviors are explained. This analysis may inspire policy makers to implement appropriate policies to encourage the public to use low-carbon transport in daily life.

This paper investigates the relationship between internet security and e-business competence at banking and exchange firms in Jordan. The proposed conceptual model examines the antecedents and consequences of e-business competence and tests its empirical validity. The sample of 152 banking and exchange firms tests the posited structural equation model. The results consistently support the validity of the proposed conceptual model, the results also found that organizations realize the importance of e- business and are willing to proceed further with e-business. Beyond concerns about internet security, their awareness of security hazards and internet performance is minimal. The author concludes that the public awareness of ICT in general is low. In light of the data collected, the author makes recommendations for the interested authorities to improve e-business in Jordan.

The new European Organic Regulation 2018/848 has announced the phasing out of derogations for the use of untreated non-organic seed by 2036. However, the use of organic seed by organic farmers is currently limited. This paper aims to identify the factors affecting the use of organic seed. It is based on data collected from 749 organic farmers in 20 European countries, by conducting an online survey and using a network sampling. Results of the descriptive statistics and linear mixed models indicate that: (1) the situation of organic seed use is not consistent across geographical regions and crop sectors; (2) the use of organic seed is higher on farms selling directly to consumers than on those selling to supermarkets; (3) larger and more recently converted farms use less organic seed than established organic farms. In the second part of the paper, we analyse farmers’ attitudes towards organic seed use. The structural equation model (SEM) suggests that the highest contribution to explaining intention to use organic seed comes from social norms, i.e., farmers’ perception of societal expectations, particularly from the consumer and the organic certifier. Such expectations, if communicated in the public and political discourse, could stimulate the use of organic seed.
