Research on the group decision‐making about emergency event based on network technology

In order to improve decision‐making efficiency about emergency event, this paper proposes a novel concept, i.e., Agile‐Delphi Method, which is an integration of agile decision and Delphi Method implicating that the decision‐makers instantly deliver, respond, treat, and utilize information via Delphi process while conducting group decision‐making about emergency event. The paper details the mechanism of group decision‐making about emergency event based on network technology and Agile‐Delphi Method. Finally, the paper conducts an empiric analysis taking the ‘111 event’, i.e., the liquid ammonia spill event happened on November 1, 2006 in a phosphorus chemical company in China, as an example.
