The next step in ISM analysis is to form a hierarchal structure of the barriers by
partitioning the barriers in different levels. Using the rules mentioned in Sect. 3.1,
the barriers are portioned into different levels. The barriers that come at level I are
place at the bottom of the hierarchy and are considered to have most impact on all
other barriers, i.e., they are considered to drive the whole system. In this case lack of
technologies (BI09) and lack of financial support (BI10) are at level I and hence are
considered to drive the whole system.
In the second phase of the analysis, the objective is to rank the internal barriers to
green innovation. All the barriers that are in the upper two quadrant of figure are
selected for the second phase. All these barriers are having high driving power and
