Abstract
This study explores the critical factors influencing sustainable development performance in the electrical wire and cable industry because this industry has potential contributions to sustainability in terms of energy efficiency. Although much previous work identified the factors influencing sustainable development performance, few studies discussed the influential weights of the factors and their interrelationships in this industry from a comprehensive viewpoint. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the feedback and interrelationships among the factors influencing sustainable development performance by an integrated fuzzy multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) approach including fuzzy DEMATEL, fuzzy DANP, and fuzzy modified VIKOR methods. The proposed method can provide guidance to prioritize the influential factors in the improvement strategies for achieving the aspired value of sustainable development performance. This paper applies the proposed method in the Taiwanese electrical wire and cable industry as an empirical study. The outcomes indicate that the environmental aspect should be improved firstly, and top management support is the most significant factor influencing sustainable development performance. Additionally, the finding is useful for identifying the priorities of the factors that offer guidance on allocating limited resources to reduce the performance gaps in the Taiwanese electrical wire and cable industry.
