Research on sustainable technology selection decision making model for enterprise

During technology adoption, assessment of its sustainable character it is difficult task to limit the insight and dimensions
of sustainability, as well as its complicated application at the operational level. A proper decision-making framework and
method may be conducive to bridging generic and macro-level sustainability with local-site and task-oriented technology
selection, improving the application of sustainable technology. For this reason, a framework is explored to highlight the
sustainable nature of relevant components during an operational decision-making process within the supply chain. With
an eye to the triple bottom of sustainability, the product chain, value-added activities of supply chain and stakeholders are
analyzed and embedded into the technology selection method. The dynamic relationships among these components (product
chain, value-added activities and stakeholders) as carriers of the technology are also discussed to investigate their sustainable
features. Furthermore, to figure out the whole technology decision making logic map, a modified strategic balanced score
card is established and applied to evaluate technology candidates in terms of their features of sustainability. Next, a computing
method is designed to produce a sustainable technology choice. The multilateral mechanisms among the three groups, as well
as within each group, during the technology selection process are identified and elaborated completely. The framework of
analysis and method presented in the paper add insight to sustainability theoretically and guide its application in technology
adoption. Managerial implications as well as limitations of this work conclude this paper.
