Abstract

This study aims to prioritise the solutions for effectively minimising the barriers to sustainable innovation implementation. Based on the literature review and discussion with an expert panel, barriers and solutions to overcome these barriers are identified. The best-worst method (BWM) is used to compute each barrier's relative weights, and the Complex Proportional Assessment method (COPRAS) is used to prioritise and select the most effective solution. The suggested framework is numerically illustrated by applying it to a manufacturing organisation. The findings show that organisational change synchronised with innovative technological change is the top-ranked solution. In addition, sensitivity analysis is performed to check the robustness of the proposed BWM-COPRAS framework. This study will help policymakers better understand the obstacles that obstruct the effective implementation of sustainable innovation in manufacturing organisations. It will also aid the decision-makers in tackling the barriers through systematic implementation of the solutions.
