The purpose of this paper is to provide a new approach to incorporating uncertainty into assessing the profitability of investment projects. In the real world, the capital budgeting problem is accompanied by uncertainty and risk associated dealing with imprecise data. The major contribution of this research is the development of a novel approach to evaluating the profitability of an investment project in uncertainty condition. At first, we presented a new discount method that can be used by investors when they wants to be able to make an investment decision. That is, we developed a new method to evaluate the profitability of investment projects by or-dered fuzzy net present value (OFNPV). In addition, ordered fuzzy numbers (OFN) are used to describe the dynamics of changes of the defined investment parameters in the assumed time horizon. By using ordered fuzzy numbers, we develop an effective tool for assessing the profitability of investment projects. This assessment tool not only enables decision-makers to decide under uncertainty conditions whether or not a given investment project should be carried out or rejected, but also facilitates selecting the most effective project, e.g. a project with the most expected probability of success.

Investor expectations future economic processes are among the crucial factors affecting their decisions. The expectations seem to play a specific role since they are unsupervised variables capable of forming observable economic phenomena. Psychological factors influence investor expectations and corporate market value. Investor sentiments was modelled with an emphasis on psychological factors based on the Grounded Theory (GT). This applied and mixed-methods at its first and second stages. The statistical population comprised 13 experts, senior managers of investment companies, and university professors. The participants were selected through purposive and snowball sampling and the process was continued until theoretical saturation. The data were collected via semi-structured interviews coded via Atlas.ta.8 software. The research data were analysed using an open coding method. The results of the research were presented in 46 categories and 6 key dimensions.

Many behavioral biases affect investors when making decisions.Behavioral distortions divert the investor from rational decisions, and as a result, resources are not diverted to appropriate investments.Behavioral biases can be evaluated in different types including the two phenomena of mental anchor and collective behavior of investors. In the present study, the phenomenon of collective behavior and mental anchor of investors with emphasis on significant weaknesses in internal control has been investigated. For this purpose, the data of 125 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange during the period 2012 to 2018 were used.Data analysis was performed in eviews software version 10 and in order to fit the regression models,the generalized least squares method of panel data was used. The results using univariate analysis showed that there is no significant difference between the amount of behavioral biases in each of the two groups of companies with weakness and lack of weakness in internal control.While multivariate analysis of data in the form of regression models showed that the auditor's report on significant weaknesses in internal control,(which Weakness indicates high agency costs and high information asymmetry between managers and shareholders) strengthens It is the collective behavior of investors but it has no effect on their mental anchor.According to the results, it seems that the behavioral biases of investors are conditioned by the priority and importance of good and bad news in the market.As long as there is bad news in the stock market towards the company, good news can’t cause behavioral bias in investors.

The purpose of the research Decline of Auditors' Financial Bias in Decision making by Professionalism in Auditing: Rough Set Analysis. The research approach is of inductive-deductive type in terms of the data collection meth-od, because it was first determined based on the content analysis of the com-ponents and propositions related to the professional characteristics, then it was tried to confirm or delete the propositions based on the Delphi analysis. This research by participating 14 individuals of the audit partners with the academic degrees over a one-year period, 2018-2019. The results According to the formation of decision making matrix, the results showed that both propositions, the perceptual error of failure to separate the context from con-tent as the Halo bias and the perceptual error of the experience of fraud de-tection in the financial statement as memory bias were determined as the most influential perceptual errors in the audit profession in Iran. In addition, according to gray vikor theory analysis, it was found that the component of the audit's professional maturity was selected as the most important priority and the most effective feature for reducing the audit perceptual bias.

This study examines the relationship between stock liquidity and return predicta-bility of 116 publicly-traded firms in Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE). To this end, we constructed a dated-regular frequency of time series with total 40128 stock-firm observations. After calculating daily bid-ask spreads and stock returns, the observations were classified based on liquidity into three classes and the return predictability was investigated across different classes using a set of parametric tests. The results exhibit signs of return autocorrelation and non-independence over three liquidity groups. Our findings didn’t show a connection between stock liquidity and market efficiency. The Hurst exponent also revealed mean reversion of returns series across different liquidity classes. We conclude that stock liquidity doesn’t play a significant role in market efficiency and return predictability of stocks in TSE. In case of TSE as other emerging markets, due to the small num-ber of traders (the need for more trading activity) and low market making activi-ties, both the cost of trading increases and the reaction to stock price information is delayed, resulting in predictability of price /return.

The article justified the feasibility of an investment project by analysing the performance indicators while taking into account risk and uncertainty of the use of information technologies. The impact of the above calculations of the investment project results is due to the fact that the evaluation of the investment performance depends on the projected cash flows. The purpose of the article is to assess the impact of risks on making investment decisions using information technologies in order to increase the financial security of enterprises. Methodological and practical aspects of risk modelling of the investment project were further developed, using the Monte Carlo method, which allows to construct a model by minimizing data, as well as to maximize the value of data used in the model. This model involves the use of probability theory and random number tables. The results show the distribution of probabilities of the successful project variable and the coefficient of variation of the performance indicator, allowing the investor to take uncertainty into account when making a decision.

Online reviews play a crucial role in the consumer decision-making process in the glamping industry. Some reviews are misleading; therefore, users need to identify credible reviews to form objective opinions. This study examined dimensions of perceived review credibility and its influence on purchase intention within the glamping business. Online surveys were conducted with respondents with relevant travel experiences to examine the key credibility factors. Findings identified that review length, amount of detail, writing style, and travelers’ images; as well as mixed, moderate, and two-sided reviews influence perceived review credibility. It was also found that perceived review credibility influences purchase intention; that management response impacts perceived company credibility and purchase intention; and that personalized management response is valuable for the perceived credibility and purchase intention. A revised conceptual framework was developed to demonstrate the sources of perceived credible online reviews and the role of management responses in the reviews. In addition to the theoretical contribution, this study can have practical marketing implications for businesses when creating online promotional material for their products and engaging with customers

With the rapid advancement of information and communication technology (ICT), public administration has adopted the concept of e-government. The academic literature produced many studies in the field of E-government (E-GOV) services, however, there is limited research on such services from the perspective of bibliometric and Network analysis. Therefore, this study aims to present a bibliometric and network analysis of the E-government services literature review obtained from the Scopus database, published between 2011 to 2021. This study uses a five-step method including (1) defining keywords, (2) initializing search outcomes, (3) inclusion and exclusion of some elements of the initial result, (4) compiling initial data statistics, and (5) undertaking analysis of data. The analysis starts by identifying more than 4,880 published articles related to E-government services published between 2011 and 2021. The study findings revealed that the highest number of publications on the E-government Service was in 2019 (102 articles), the top contributing affiliation was Brunel University London, the leading influential country was the USA, and the top contributing Source was Electronic Government. Furthermore, Lu J. occupied the first rank in the list of the most influential authors in terms of citations, while Weerakkody V. occupied the list of the top authors with high publications 20 papers. Likewise, this study showed that there is a collaboration among some authors. This research identified four research clusters by which researchers could be encouraged to widen the research of E-government services in the future. The bibliometric and network analysis of E-government services helps to graphically display the publication's assessment over time and identify domains of current studies' interests and potential directions for further studies. Finally, this research draws a roadmap for future investigation into E-government services.

The primary reasons for this review are ID, displaying and positioning of variables impacting the brand disdain. To do this, mixed approaches of qualitative and quantitative have used. In the qualitative approach, the grounded theory method has considered. Hence, the opinions of 18 sale managers in the field of home appliance, as experts, collected and analyzed. The results of analyzing in 3 steps of grounded theory with MAXQDA software revealed that 14 variables affect the brand hate which are placed in 3 groups of casual condition, external factors and main variables. The results of this section was approved by 10 indicators of Strauss and Corbin. In the next section, for understanding the importance and rank of each variables in brand hate, MADM method has used. The results of this section showed that among main variables, experimental avoidance; among casual condition, marketing and advertisement and among external factors, competition had highest importance.

One of the important issues in the supply chain is the selection of reliable and efficient suppliers, which improves performance and competitive advantage. Therefore, the aim of this research is to implement two evaluation models based on failure rate and NDEA with the approach of choosing the right supplier in 7 separate supply chains of an electrical appliance manufacturing company in Shiraz. In this direction, a series-parallel system was used to evaluate based on the failure rate, which at the first level examines the reliability of the suppliers and at the second level examines the reliability of the devices required for the production of electrical appliances. And in order to calculate the efficiency of suppliers, the NDEA model was also used. The results showed that both presented approaches are suitable for evaluating the performance of the supply chain, because the performance rating of both models has high resolution.

Due to the existence of various paradigms and theories in accounting and various methods introduced to measure accounting values, as well as the lack of a complete and well-defined framework of these theories in terms of sociological paradigms, we decided to analyze sociology from theories. To achieve this goal, we used the content analysis method. In this way, first by examining the schools and theories of sociology and the main paradigm of positivism, interpretiveness, identification and components that were the characteristics of these paradigms were extracted and categorized from the themes and then the outputs were approved by sociology professors. And then accounting measurement theories and various theories using the method of taking notes from books and texts and articles extracted and sociological components in the context of accounting theories are searched and analyzed and at the end of accounting theories according to The extracted themes and their analytical codes are classified and analyzed and interpreted based on the obtained results. The results of the analysis of themes, new theories of accounting measurement tend to interpretism in which the role of the accountant is more prominent and historical cost theory is classified as a positivist sociological theory.
