    Charting the evolutionary conceptual pathway of analytic network process research: A main path analysis
    (John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2024-05-01)
    This study delves into the flow and structure of knowledge prevalent in Analytic Network Process (ANP) literature. It traces the evolutionary pathway of ANP research, spotlighting seminal works and unfolding the development of topics over time. Analysing 4583 ANP literature records from 1986 to 2022, this research utilizes two pivotal data sources: Web of Science (WoS) and Dimensions. This main path analysis (MPA) approach is coupled with techniques such as citation analysis, social network analysis, and centrality measures to identify most influential papers, as well as using a search path algorithm (SPC) to provide higher weights to papers that serve as bridges connecting different research paths rather than simply counting all citations equally. Key works emerged as focal points in both datasets, including notable contributions from Lee, Kheybari and Büyüközkan, with the Dimensions dataset uniquely highlighting Saaty as the initial conceptual knowledge source of the ANP. The centrality measures unearthed persistent bridge roles undertaken by key contributors such as Saaty and Sarkis over different time periods. Furthermore, a detailed topic analysis discerned eight distinctive thematic clusters among the two data sources: analytical network process, network process, fuzzy analytic, evaluation laboratory, supply chain, quality function, hierarchy process, and information systems. These clusters emerged, providing a comprehensive map of ANP topics and their evolution. The study offers a comprehensive framework for scholars to navigate the expansive domain of ANP research. Identifying pivotal works and emergent themes provides direction for future research endeavours. It allows practitioners to gain invaluable insights into the foundational and transformative works in the ANP realm, enhancing their understanding and application of the methodology. This paper proposes of a dual methodological strategy: First, by using traditional academic data sources (WoS) along with a more encompassing Dimensions database; and second, by using a SPC algorithm to weight MPA papers based on their connecting role among different research paths. At the discipline level, this study carves out a novel vantage point in understanding the ANP research landscape. It offers an integrated portrayal of the field's conceptual evolution, identifying specific cluster topics as an indispensable resource for scholars, practitioners, and students.

    Analytic Network Process in Economics, Finance and Management: Contingency Factors, Current Trends and Further Research
    (Elsevier BV, 2023-09-04)
    This study explores the recent use of the Analytic Network Process (ANP) in the decision process in the areas of economics, finance and management to identify common contingency factors, current trends, representative studies and directions for further research applications in the target areas. A systematic literature review of 434 ANP studies for a 10-year period (2012–2021) within the Scopus database was conducted using the keyword “Analytic Network Process” in articles indexed in the following two categories: (1) Business, Management and Accounting, and (2) Economics, Econometrics and Finance. Further analysis using a citation-based graph and contingency analysis approaches was performed to identify usage trends. Our findings indicate that the most common ANP applications are with sustainable supply chain management and business evaluation frameworks. There is also a trend of applications engaging stakeholders in the decision-making process. Finally, it was found that the ANP is most commonly used as part of a multicriteria multi-method (a method followed by others) or integrated decision-making (hybridization of methods) approach rather than alone. The most common use (>80%) of the ANP is as part of a multi-method or integrated method with other tools such as DEMATEL, which suggests these approaches, in particular integrated ones (>50%), are becoming the preferred method of analysis to simplify the ANP process. From a practical point of view, it was found that the ANP is particularly utilized in sustainable projects to facilitate the participation of various stakeholders. This is the first focused review of the use of the ANP in the areas of economics, finance and management with an emphasis on its application as well as its contingent factors. Also, representative studies have been highlighted in each area. Traditional reviews have not delved deeply into the areas and contingent factors that this study explores.
