Findings - Supplier A has relatively better product features and supplier features. Addressing fundamental issues in supplier selection has been increasingly gaining ground in the construction industry in order to maintain a competitive advantage in regard to both cost and time efficiency as well as sustainability. Conclusion - Companies operate in an environment where decisions are ought to be handled in a rather holistic way. When managers are about to make robust decisions, they are ultimately obliged to feel responsible to both the company and various groups of stakeholders. Overall, decision-making is of vital importance for corporates both in a macro perspective due to existing ecological concerns and also in a micro perspective in terms of sustainability.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAnalytic Hierarchy ProcessStrategyDecision-MakingSupplier SelectionConstruction IndustryArticle52142149
