Abstract

In the post-recession period, the business environment in developing countries is still relatively undesirable. Based on the reports published, the number of closed entrepreneurs are significantly more than the number of those newly established. These statistics also reflect that the development of entrepreneurship faces several challenges. However, a strategic management program must be accurately conducted to effectively control entrepreneurial challenges based on the limitation of time and financial resources. On the other hand, the program should provide an appropriate opportunity for competitiveness by producing better quality goods and services successfully marketed to consumers. The aim of this paper is to propose a robust model with a high potential for evaluation of entrepreneurial challenges in order to identify and control the most critical ones. To achieve the aim, the most critical parameters should be identified to prevent wasting the resources. Likewise, the analytical network process (ANP) method, a branch of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) techniques, is a powerful tool that can consider all interrelationships and interdependencies between criteria. On the other hand, neutrosophic sets are among the most widespread approaches in coping with vagueness and unknown environment. The methodology employed in this paper uses a combination model based on ANP and neutrosophic sets using sustainable development indicators to prioritize the challenges of entrepreneurship. The results show that the proposed model has a high potential to provide a process for decision-making under a vague environment.
竞争环境下基于可持续发展的创业挑战优先排序模型研究
在后衰退时期,发展中国家的商业环境仍然相对不利。根据公布的报告,关闭的企业家人数明显多于新成立的企业家人数。这些统计数字也反映出创业精神的发展面临若干挑战。然而,必须准确地实施战略管理计划,以在时间和财力限制的基础上有效控制创业挑战。另一方面,该计划应通过生产更优质的商品和服务,成功地向消费者推销,从而提供适当的竞争机会。本文的目的是提出一个具有很高潜力的稳健模型来评估创业挑战,以识别和控制最关键的挑战。为了实现这一目标,应确定最关键的参数,以防止浪费资源。同样,分析网络过程(ANP)方法是多准则决策(MCDM)技术的一个分支,是一种强大的工具,可以考虑准则之间的所有相互关系和相互依赖性。另一方面,中性集是处理模糊和未知环境的最广泛的方法之一。本文采用的方法使用了基于ANP的组合模型和使用可持续发展指标的中性粒细胞集,以优先考虑创业的挑战。结果表明,所提出的模型具有很高的潜力,可以为模糊环境下的决策提供一个过程。
