1
Interpretive Structural Modeling
Interpretive Structural Modeling is used for
identifying and summarizing relationship
among specific variables, which define a
problem or an issues.
It is an interactive learning process.

2
Objective of ISM
• To identify and rank the variables.
• To establish the interrelationship among the
variables.
• To discuss the managerial implication of the
research.

3
Steps of ISM Methodology
1. Variables affecting the system under consideration
are listed.
2. The Structural Self Interaction Matrix (SSIM) is
developed for the variables.
3. Reachability Matrix is developed from the SSIM.
4. Reachability Matrix obtained in step 3 is partitioned
into different level.
5. Finally the hierarchies of the variables are formed.

Personal interview is conducted of the two experts, one is
academician and the other entrepreneurship consultant. It is
asked them to establish the relationship between the various
factors as follows:
A, If ‘i’ is predictor of ‘j’.
B, If ‘j’ is predictor of ‘i’.
C, If ‘i’ and ‘j’ predict each other.
D, If no predict each other.

10
Structural Self Interaction Matrix
(SSIM)
ISM methodology suggest the use of expert
opinions based on the various management
technique in developing the contextual
relationship among the variables.
