(b) Identifying key criteria
Frequency Percentage (FP) indicates different level of criteria into three categories; (i) key criteria,
nd
rd
(ii) 2 important criteria, (iii) 3 important criteria along the 700 years establishment. Noted that
assuming for each criterion, the minimum number of frequency per year is one. Therefore, 560 = 1 ×
8 companies × 70 years.

Hence, the (FP) can be determined as:

Frequency Percentage = Number of frequency per period of time for each criteria × 100%
560

Where;
Key criteria = > 80%
nd
2 important criteria = 50% ~ 79%
rd
3 important criteria = < 50%
