Sha Wang et al.

Summary: This article proposes a two-stage consensus feedback mechanism that considers different power structures in large-scale group decision-making. It uses a Louvain algorithm type to detect subgroups and defines the concepts of internal and external subgroup consensus levels. The mechanism allows for identifying inconsistent individuals/subgroups and supports consensus within and outside subgroups. With minimum adjustments, the mechanism achieves optimal power allocation under different power structures.
