TL;DR: The proposed fuzzy risk analysis method is more flexible and more intelligent than the existing methods due to the fact that it considers the degrees of confidence of decisionmakers' opinions.
Abstract: In this paper, we present a new method for fuzzy risk analysis based on similarity measures of generalized fuzzy numbers. Firstly, we present a method called the simple center of gravity method (SCGM) to calculate the center-of-gravity (COG) points of generalized fuzzy numbers. Then, we use the SCGM to propose a new method to measure the degree of similarity between generalized fuzzy numbers. The proposed similarity measure uses the SCGM to calculate the COG points of trapezoidal or triangular generalized fuzzy numbers and then to calculate the degree of similarity between generalized fuzzy numbers. We also prove some properties of the proposed similarity measure and use an example to compare the proposed method with the existing similarity measures. The proposed similarity measure can overcome the drawbacks of the existing methods. We also apply the proposed similarity measure to develop a new method to deal with fuzzy risk analysis problems. The proposed fuzzy risk analysis method is more flexible and more intelligent than the existing methods due to the fact that it considers the degrees of confidence of decisionmakers' opinions.

TL;DR: This model correctly classifies 79.8% of the decisions made with respect to the adoption of ERP and may be interesting to managers seeking to be more proactive in planning for their adoption of an ERP system.
Abstract: Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are costly and complex but vital for companies having to face a rapidly changing business environment and an increasingly competitive marketplace. As the first study to examine the factors within the technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework that affect the decision to adopt ERP in Taiwan's communications industry, the empirical tests conducted here are based on personal interviews with a sample of 99 firms in Taiwan's communications industry. Eight factors in three broad categories are tested using logistic regression, and four of these, technology readiness, size, perceived barriers and production and operations improvements, are found to be important determinants of the adoption of ERP. This model correctly classifies 79.8% of the decisions made with respect to the adoption of ERP. The results substantiate the usefulness of this model which may be interesting to managers seeking to be more proactive in planning for their adoption of an ERP system.

TL;DR: A theoretical model for investigating the three main antecedent influences on loyalty for e-service context: trust, customer satisfaction, and perceived value indicates that trust,Customer satisfaction, perceived value, and commitment are separate constructs that combine to determine the loyalty.
Abstract: While the importance of customer loyalty has been recognized in the marketing literature for at least three decades, the conceptualization and empirical validation of a customer loyalty model for e-service context has not been addressed. This paper describes a theoretical model for investigating the three main antecedent influences on loyalty (attitudinal commitment and behavioral loyalty) for e-service context: trust, customer satisfaction, and perceived value. Based on the theoretical model, a comprehensive set of hypotheses were formulated and a methodology for testing them was outlined. These hypotheses were tested empirically to demonstrate the applicability of the theoretical model. The results indicate that trust, customer satisfaction, perceived value, and commitment are separate constructs that combine to determine the loyalty, with commitment exerting a stronger influence than trust, customer satisfaction, and perceived value. Customer satisfaction and perceived value were also indirectly related to loyalty through commitment. Finally, the authors discuss the managerial and theoretical implications of these results.

TL;DR: Low-complexity algorithms are proposed that can reduce the overall computational cost of consensus ADMM by an order of magnitude for certain large-scale problems and offer considerably lower computational complexity.
Abstract: Multi-agent distributed consensus optimization problems arise in many signal processing applications. Recently, the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) has been used for solving this family of problems. ADMM based distributed optimization method is shown to have faster convergence rate compared with classic methods based on consensus subgradient, but can be computationally expensive, especially for problems with complicated structures or large dimensions. In this paper, we propose low-complexity algorithms that can reduce the overall computational cost of consensus ADMM by an order of magnitude for certain large-scale problems. Central to the proposed algorithms is the use of an inexact step for each ADMM update, which enables the agents to perform cheap computation at each iteration. Our convergence analyses show that the proposed methods converge well under some convexity assumptions. Numerical results show that the proposed algorithms offer considerably lower computational complexity than the standard ADMM based distributed optimization methods.
