| dc.description.abstract | This work delves into the pain points encountered in the current
industry practices for conducting materiality assessment, and aims to improve
the process by reducing effort and subjectivity involved therein. The work
consists of a method specification based on a case study. A part of the
envisioned solution is implemented by creating a tool to automate parts of the
process. Apart from reducing effort and subjectivity, the proposed solution
incorporates weightage-schemes in creation of term document matrix, where
the previous process considered only occurrences. The tool is validated to
favorable outcomes from practitioners and researchers, with respect to being a
valid solution and potential commercial implementation. The automation
achieves to reduce the effort to less than 2% of the original. Future work in this
line of research is improving the precision and recall parameters, social media
sentiment analysis, and a learning module to further streamline and perfect the
tool-output. | |
