We are proud to share that Dr. Mohammad Dalvi Esfahani, lead of the Blockchain, FinTech & Cryptocurrency Research Group (BFCRG) at the University of Southampton Malaysia, has recently published a new research article in the prestigious journal Quality & Quantity, published by Springer Netherlands.
The article, titled “Investigating the Interrelationships Between the Barriers of Green Computing Adoption: TISM-MICMAC-DEMATEL Method,” was co-authored with Mehrbakhsh Nilashi, Rabab Ali Abumalloh, Ramayah Thurasamy, and Muhammad Shakil Ahmad. This study addresses a critical gap in the field of environmental sustainability by examining the often-overlooked barriers to the adoption of green computing within organizations.

Through consultation with fifteen experts in the field, the research identifies twelve key barriers, grouped into categories such as adoption costs, technological challenges, and internal organizational factors. Using an integrated methodology combining Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM), MICMAC analysis, and the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) approach, the study uncovers how these barriers interact and influence one another. Notably, firm size and legal constraints were found to be pivotal and autonomous factors with significant impact on green computing adoption.
This publication marks another significant milestone in Dr. Dalvi Esfahani’s research journey and reflects BFCRG’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, innovation, and impactful scholarly contributions.
