Abstract


Information Systems (IS) have become crucial for all the organizations to survive in contemporary technology-oriented environment. Consequently, the number of companies and organizations which have invested widely in their IS infrastructures to present better services and to produce higher value products is increasing. On the other hand, nowadays, because of the increase of governmental rules and serious requirements of more people in the case of environmental protection, it seems necessary for all the enterprises to follow these regulations if they want to survive in the global markets. However, what is at issue here is not just the companies’ agreement with the environmental laws; in addition, they should apply some strategies to decrease the negative environmental impacts of their products in some countries. Thus, the aforementioned arguments are the reasons for the compulsory use of the green supplier selection (GSS) in all firms. Considering the mentioned contents, the purpose of this study is representation of the relation between ISs and GSS as two vital components of firms in a novel way which has not been done before. Actually, it shows the ISs' performance or effectiveness to select the green suppliers taking into account the different levels of importance of GSS measures (including eight criteria and 31 sub-criteria), using a multi-criteria decision-making method called Best Worst Method (BWM) to identify the weights (importance) of GSS measures and compute the GSS performance of 10 ISs in a company using the data gathered in a survey from ISs' experts.
