Sažetak
Formal decision-making methods can be used to help improve the
overall sustainability of industries and organisations. Recently, there
has been a great proliferation of works aggregating sustainability
criteria by using diverse multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM)
techniques. A number of review papers summarising these techniques
have been published. During the past few years, new approaches for
hybrid MCDM (HMCDM) methods have been developed, but they
have not yet been completely reviewed. This article aims to fill this
gap and to summarise publications related to the application of
HMCDM. The current study is limited solely to papers available in the
Thomson Reuters Web of Science Core Collection database. The main
findings report that HMCDM methods have been increasingly applied
for supporting decisions in different domains of sustainability. The
most frequently used methods emphasise the advantages of hybrid
approaches over individual methods, and we conclude that they can
assist decision-makers in handling information such as stakeholders’
preferences, interconnected or contradictory criteria, and uncertain
environments. The main contribution of this work is identifying
hybrid approaches as improvements for decision-making related to
sustainability issues, while also promoting future application of the
approaches.
