The impact matrix cross reference multiplication applied to classification (MICMAC) method can be used to isolate key factors from complex factor sets. Recently, scholars have begun combined fuzzy theory with MICMAC operations to establish the fuzzy MICMAC (FMICMAC) for enhanced evaluation accuracy. A novel fuzzy integration method was developed in the present study to readily integrate expert opinions for combination with the MICMAC.However, traditional MICMAC methods do not account for the dual aspects (e.g., satisfaction/ dissatisfaction, interests/risks) of certain factors. Hence, This study proposed fuzzy integration method and dual-aspect MICMAC process to resolve this shortcoming, then applied to identify the key factors.
