Impulse Buying is a complex human behavior that is influenced by psychological, social, situational etc. factors. This behavior is irrational and often takes emotionally. Modeling and simulation of Impulse Buying behavior help the researchers and managers to understand and predict behavior and planning. Thus, the aim of this paper is developing and proposes a conceptual and mathematical model to simulation of Impulse Buying behavior. The model focuses on the essence of human decision making which rooted in emotion as important drives for shaping and directing human behavior. The proposed model is developed based upon the consumer agent’s culture and personality and situational and seller characteristics. An agent based modeling used to simulation of Impulse Buying behavior.

System thinking / Operational research and systems architecture are two areas of complexity management that have been highly sought after by various scholarly scholars. Although systems architecture is considered to be the dominant approach to system thinking / operational research in dealing with complex issues, there is no theory or process for architectural creation. Architecture is the science and art of planning and constructing structures. On the other hand, soft system thinking / soft operations research and structured methods to the problem, with the aim of learning and defining the problem with the help of stakeholders, is seeking satisfactory answers. In this study, by comparing the philosophical foundations of both areas at the methodological level, we would show the usefulness of the system / system research approach in soft operations in order to create a theory for architecture / system architecture. So, in the first step, the architectural mastery / system architecture and system thinking / research in soft operation were extracted and then compared on the basis of the Hamilton logic.

The purpose of the layout design is to find the most efficient arrangement of equipment, manpower in departments or units in order to maximize productivity in product production. Existing heuristic models do not consider the organizations need to locate units within certain departments, but in practice many organizations need to design a layout that limits the location of units in their respective departments. Particularly for organizations with an operational organizational structure, and often each of the units in each executive department should be located in their own office. The purpose of this article is that in an organization composed of several main departments and each department comprising several units, optimal placement is made in such a way that the limits of locating the units within the departments that are similar to the work process are met. Many layout design problems are not suited to solve mathematical problems because some of the facilities need to be put together. In this paper, constraints are added to design the facility layout in specific departments and a mathematical model is proposed for optimization. The benefits of introducing departmental constraints are: Compared to existing models, it provides more pragmatic logic for layout and facility design, and can help improve computational efficiency by reducing overlap constraints across facilities.
