Issue formulation in a multi-actor context: a five-step approach

SMC 2000 Conference Proceedings. 2000 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics. 'Cybernetics Evolving to Systems, Humans, Organizations, and their Complex Interactions' (Cat. No.00CH37166), 2002
Problem formulation is one of the most crucial steps in any systems engineering effort. This paper describes a five-step approach to systems problem formulation in which the different crucial aspects are addressed consecutively. The approach first emphasizes (1) the analysis of a problem's context and (2) the formulation of objectives, as this may ...

Why Platforms Become Scapegoats: Extending Attribution Theory in Multi-Actor Service Contexts

Journal of Service Research
Multi-actor exchange relationships involving platforms and individual service providers have become increasingly common in the online service sector. Drawing on attribution theory, this study identifies a phenomenon called the “locus-responsibility shift,” a form of scapegoating in which consumers transfer responsibility for service failures to a ...

The use of multi‐criteria decision analysis to support the search for less conflicting policy options in a multi‐actor context: case study

Journal of Multi‐Criteria Decision Analysis, 2001
AbstractPublic resource allocation often requires the management of conflicting objectives of multiple policy actors at different spatial levels. An example is the case study on which this paper is based: the definition of an investment policy in new inter‐municipal road‐links in the Lisbon Metropolitan Region (LMR) for the period 1999–2004.

The Power of Electric Vehicles - Exploring the Value of Flexible Electricity Demand in a Multi-actor Context

2013
Electric vehicles (EVs) have the potential to play a crucial role in clean and intelligent power systems. The key to this potential lies in the flexibility that EVs provide by the ability to shift their electricity demand in time. This flexibility can be used to facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources by adjusting EV demand to the ...
