The Application Of Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process In Sustainable Project Selection, Rakan Alyamani, Suzanna Long Oct 2020

The Application Of Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process In Sustainable Project Selection, Rakan Alyamani, Suzanna Long

Engineering Management and Systems Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

The project selection process is a crucial step in sustainable development. Effective sustainable development depends on the ability to select the appropriate sustainable project to implement to ensure that the desired goals are met. Some of the most common characteristics or criteria used in evaluating sustainable projects include novelty, uncertainty, skill and experience, technology information transfer, and project cost. Prioritizing these criteria based on relative importance helps project managers and decision makers identify elements that require additional attention, better allocate resources, as well as improve the selection process when evaluating different sustainable project alternatives. The aim of this research is …


Exploring The Relationship Between Sustainable Projects And Institutional Isomorphisms: A Project Typology, Rakan Alyamani, Suzanna Long, Mohammad Nurunnabi May 2020

Exploring The Relationship Between Sustainable Projects And Institutional Isomorphisms: A Project Typology, Rakan Alyamani, Suzanna Long, Mohammad Nurunnabi

Engineering Management and Systems Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

With the increase in awareness about the wide range of issues and adverse effects associated with the use of conventional energy sources came an increase in project management research related to sustainability and sustainable development. Part of that research is devoted to the development of sustainable project typologies that classify projects based on a variety of external factors that can significantly impact these projects. This research focuses on developing a sustainable project typology that classifies sustainable projects based on the external institutional influences. The typology explores the influence of the coercive, normative, and mimetic institutional isomorphisms on the expected level …
