The bibliometric study aims to map and expand respective knowledge by establishing connections between important actors in academic research regarding the government venture capitals (GVCs). The scope is to analyze documents published on Scopus database starting from 2011 to 2020.  Accordingly, the United States (U.S.) is the top country in all categories with China catching up. Alperovych, Quas, and Colombo are top co-authors. On the other hand, Leleux, Grilli, Lerner and Cumming are prolific authors. Articles by Grilli and Li Y are two most cited documents. Investments, venture capital, economics, public policy, and government are most co-occurrence index keywords. Research policy, venture capital, and journal of technology transfer, journal of business venturing and small business economics are top sources of cited documents. Closely associated themes with respect to the study of GVCs are government role in venture capital support, effective Innovation financing policies, performance differential, performance of portfolio companies, funding challenges and investment strategy, decision making model and critical success factors for IT startups. The analysis generated gaps and directions for future research consisting of fund’s structure and characteristics, key personnel’s work experience and network, geographic location, investment horizon, shareholding rights.

Proving helpful in an efficient management of cash in order to reach optimal cash and clearly explain relevant optimization policies, this study examined the adjustment speed of cash holding using asymmetric models. The sample consisted of 117 firms listed in Tehran Stock Exchange and their financial details over the 2009-2018 period. Once the optimal level for cash holding was identified, asymmetric models such as the dummy variable approach, the quadratic model, and the threshold regression model were employed to test the adjustment speed of cash holding. The results revealed that cash-rich firms are moving toward optimal cash at a greater speed than cash-poor firms. In addition, the results from the quadratic model showed a non-linear, skewing effect of the cash holding adjustment speed in terms of the different cash levels. Therefore, there is an optimal level of cash holding that enables firms to deviate from the cash target. Should firms fall outside the optimal cash range, cash adjustment will occur at a greater speed, and it will be both partial and asymmetric.

A logo epitomizes a brand and depicts the picture of a product; consequently, attention, as an initial step of the AIDA model, to the logo is a good-looking index to survey the cognitive processing during consumers’ decision-making. Eye tracker extracts the visual attention data. For these reasons and appreciated from fixation duration, in the present study, the process of visual attention to the logo of a brand during decision-making was studied. To analyze the effects of the popularity of a brand on consumers’ decision-making, visual attention of 53 undergraduate students was studied. The brands were selected from two categories of beverages: soft drinks and non-alcoholic beers. Prior to the test, the participants had declared their favorite categories. The results showed that 75% of the participants selected a popular brand of their unfavorite categories. On the other hand, the difference of fixation duration between logos of popular and unknown brands did not directly relate to the choices of the participants. Therefore, these results did not correspond with the AIDA model. Additionally, cognitive processing toward the unknown brands’ logos was more than the popular brands’ logos. Moreover, the consumers who changed their decision were subjected to more cognitive processing compared to the consumers who insisted on their selection. In contrast to the AIDA model which implies that decision-making is triggered by attention, the present study indicated that decision making can also be influenced by the popularity of the brand. This can be due to optimization of the working memory usage by the brain. Finally, these results could be helpful in creating a new brand. According to the AIDA model, the more attractive logo and package of the brand, the more chance for being selected by the customers. However, our findings emphasize the importance of the popularity of the brand.

The portfolio selection problem is one of the main investment management prob-lems. In the portfolio selection problem, robustness is sought against uncertainty or variability in the value of the parameters of the problem. This paper has been conducted for Robust portfolio optimization based on the mean-cvar approach. And introduces the linear mean-cvar model as a criterion for calculating risk and provides an optimal Robust mean-cvar model. Robust approach used in this research is the Bertsimas and Sim. In this approach, Robust counterpart presented for a linear programming model remains linear, maintaining the advantages of the linear programming model in the optimal model. The model developed in this research is randomly selected by real data of 20 stocks of the S&P 500 index for three years, this development help portfolio selection problem to consider uncertainty. Interval optimization is modeling approach to consider parameters uncertainty in this paper. Considering uncertainty make model more realistic. The results of model show that this approach has computational efficiency and on the other hand proposed model produce better solution in risk and portfolio rate of return point of view

Nowadays, the rapid growth of data in organizations has caused managers to look for a way to analyze them. Extracting useful knowledge from aggregation data can lead to appropriate strategic decision-making for the organization. This paper suggests an application of hybrid network based on amount month demand in every ATM device based on transaction mean of 9 months for 1377 devices to obtain customer behavior patterns, to do so, first designed a basic model based on an auto-regressive with exogenous input network (NARX) then, the optimization of the weight and bias of the designed network is made by the genetic algorithm (GA). As a result, finding the weights of the network represents a nonlinear optimization problem that is solved by the genetic algorithm. Paper results show that the NARX-ANFIS Hybrid network using GA for the learning of rules and to optimize the network weights and weights of the network and the fixed threshold can improve the accuracy of the prediction model. Also, classic models are more efficient and increased benefits and lower financing costs and more rational inventory cash control. As well, the designed model can lead to increase benefits and decrease costs in the bank so that, exact forecast and optimal cash upload in ATMs will lead to increase funds on the bank and rise customers and popularity the brand of the bank.
