    A novel approach based on DEMATEL method and patent citation analysis for prioritizing a portfolio of investment projects

    Altuntas, Serkan; Dereli, Türkay

    The aim of this article is to propose a novel approach based on a method called Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) and patent citation analysis for prioritizing the portfolio of investment projects. The proposed approach reflects the government's perspective and takes into account two important prioritization criteria. They are: (i) the decreasing rate of foreign trade deficits in the country and (ii) the potential to attract new investments which are not considered in the literature before. A case study from Turkey is presented to demonstrate the benefits of the proposed approach. The findings show that the proposed approach can be used easily and efficiently to prioritize investment projects among available project proposals.

    A causal and effect model for knowledge flow analysis among firms

    Dereli, Türkay; Altuntas, Serkan; Kubat, C.; Cagil, G.; Uygun, O.

    Examination of the relations among firms with respect to knowledge flows is essential for sustainable development and creative economy in global competition as well as for governments, investors and decision makers. Knowing the causal relations among firms provides answers to questions such as: (1) which firms have strong associations? (2) which firms are in the cause group and (3) which firms are in the effect group? The knowledge flow among firms shows the relations among firms directly. Patent citation analysis is extensively conducted to measure the knowledge flow in the literature. The decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method is also extensively used to construct causal relations among variables. In this study, the DEMATEL method based patent citation analysis is utilized to construct causal relations among firms. An illustrative example is presented to find relations among firms which operate business method technologies. The results of the example show that the DEMATEL based patent citation analysis can be performed to construct causal relations among firms.
