This research studies heterarchical collaboration in logistical transport. Specifically, it utilizes a hybrid Delphi-Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach to explore the relevant criteria for the formation and maintenance of a strategic alignment for heterarchical transport collaboration. The importance of this work is that it applies a novel hybrid approach for identifying criteria for suc...

Purpose – To critically review the use of Delphi techniques in qualitative research for utilising ‘expert’ opinions and to explore through a detailed example, how Policy Delphi can be used by hospitality researchers as an alternative to the more widely used Normative Delphi. Design/methodology/approach – This paper reflects on the research methodology of a project that explored organisational c...

Wewished to further understand Transnational Knowledge Transfer (TKT) in a not-for-profit context. To accomplish this, we explored, verified, and mapped out the key factors affecting TKT using a fourcomponent framework in the context of publically funded knowledge transfer (KT) projects. The Delphi technique was used to explore, identify, and verify the relevant key factors; 24 major factors we...

Despite having an important role supporting assessment processes, criticism towards evaluation systems and the categorizations used are frequent. Considering the acceptance by the scientific community as an essential issue for using rankings or categorizations in research evaluation, the aim of this paper is testing the results of rankings of scholarly book publishers’ prestige, Scholarly Publi...

A set of statements was developed by the authors utilizing the literature on the definition and classification of cholesteatoma. A questionnaire was sent to the members of the EAONO, inviting them to state if they are in agreement with each of the statements and if not, then to provide comments or suggestions for revision. Responses were evaluated and modified using online questionnaire and sur...

A four-round Delphi was conducted to determine the degree to which the PMBOK can address the identified critical success factors for software projects. Our findings show that the PMBOK provides a very effective framework for addressing only one critical success factor. Thirteen factors are addressed to a very good degree, five to a good degree, four to a fair degree and two are addressed to a l...

Abstract According to the 12 indicators of social responsibility proposed by the , a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model of social responsibility of State Grid Corporation of China is built on the basis of Delphi method, and an example is also put forward to demonstrate the feasibility of the model. This approach helps our government of...

A recent theoretical model by Andersson et al. proposes that soft gluons order themselves in the form of a helix at the end of the QCD cascades. The Authors of the model present a measure of the rapidity-azimuthal angle correlation, which they call screwiness. We searched for such a signal in DELPHI data, and found no evidence for screwiness.

This article determines the most important business models that try to achieve the goals of various online education stakeholders. We employed the Delphi method to consult leading experts in online education, asking them to identify existing business models; describe potentially feasible models that are not currently implemented; identify specific categories of stakeholders involved; and identi...
