Here’s an example of a decision-making problem related to education: Business Reputation Index Development and Assessment

To implement the project using DEMATEL software, one would input the criteria for the Business Reputation Index. The software would analyze the relationships among the criteria, determine influential factors, and generate a visual representation. The results would guide decision-making and prioritize efforts to improve the index’s key factors.

These criteria serve as key factors in evaluating and creating a comprehensive business reputation index. The index aims to provide an overall assessment of the business’s reputation, taking into account its performance, public perception, and stakeholder satisfaction. The weightage assigned to each criterion can vary based on industry-specific consideration

ns and the objectives of the reputation index.
