Abstract

Since project management is inevitably a social effort involving all relevant actors, social aspects have to be emphasized when considering collaborative project management. Social innovation focuses on reacting to social demands and developing innovative solutions to overcome various social issues. Therefore, determining the social innovation potential in the project management process is very important. The main purpose of this study is to propose a Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (FANP) and Fuzzy VIKOR (FVIKOR)-based decision model to determine the social innovation potential of technological projects. The results of FANP revealed that the most important criteria for determining social innovation potential of projects are financial resources, technological developments and social capital. Furthermore, FVIKOR was used for ranking social innovation potential of the selected technological projects. There are several managerial implications of this study. First, we suggest that practitioners should integrate the proposed model into their project evaluation processes. Second, they can also use this model to define the social innovation factors during project selection. Lastly, the proposed model can be employed to prioritize the social innovation factors that enable managers to allocate the appropriate resources to project management process.

确定科技项目社会创新潜力的决策模型方法
由于项目管理不可避免地是一项涉及所有相关参与者的社会努力,因此在考虑协作项目管理时必须强调社会方面。社会创新侧重于对社会需求做出反应,并制定创新的解决方案来克服各种社会问题。因此,在项目管理过程中确定社会创新潜力是非常重要的。本研究的主要目的是提出一种基于模糊分析网络过程(FANP)和模糊VIKOR (FVIKOR)的决策模型来确定科技项目的社会创新潜力。FANP结果显示,决定项目社会创新潜力的最重要标准是财政资源、技术发展和社会资本。此外,采用FVIKOR对入选科技项目的社会创新潜力进行排名。这项研究有几个管理意义。首先,我们建议从业者应该将所提出的模型整合到他们的项目评估过程中。其次,他们也可以利用这个模型来定义项目选择中的社会创新因素。最后,该模型可用于对社会创新因素进行优先排序,使管理者能够将适当的资源分配到项目管理过程中。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis was launched in 1992, and from the outset has aimed to be the repository of choice for papers covering all aspects of MCDA/MCDM. The journal provides an international forum for the presentation and discussion of all aspects of research, application and evaluation of multi-criteria decision analysis, and publishes material from a variety of disciplines and all schools of thought. Papers addressing mathematical, theoretical, and behavioural aspects are welcome, as are case studies, applications and evaluation of techniques and methodologies.
