Aim:Complex analysis results are often simplified for practical reasons. The choice of the simplification range for analysis results is critical for their reliability and the effects of their subsequent application. However, the need for the assessment of the simplification range assumed is often neglected. The same is true in the case of DEcision MAking Trial and Evaluation Laboratory(DEMATEL) technique application. The technique represents a popular tool for the identification of complex structures. DEMATEL enhancement is therefore proposed in the paper to avoid the excessive simplification of the results obtained through its application.Design/Research method:The original DEMATEL procedure is modified to allow for determiningtheacceptable level of the simplification of its results.Conclusions/Findings:The presented sample analysis reveals the feasibility of the modified DEMATEL procedure.Originality/Value of the article: An important gap in DEMATEL theory is addressed in the paper. The gap may lead to incorrect outcomes with respect to further application of the results provided by DEMATEL application.(original abstract)
