Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a technique that can evaluate suppliers based on different criteria. In this paper, suppliers are evaluated based on a new cumulative DEA model. The proposed model has five features of robustness in measurement unit, uniformity, robustness against movement, dependency to the universal set and lack of sensitivity to zero input values. The performance of the proposed model is investigated on a case study taken from a doors and windows manufacturing company and the results show the five considered features. Manuscript profile -

Usually in the earlier phase of systems design and development, systems stakeholders have the request for increased value of viability and for this mean, system engineers propose several engineering changes. The main problem here is the lack of a method for analyzing the effectiveness of these engineering changes and also ranking them based on different criteria such as cost, time and risk. For promoting this gap, in this paper we propose a 11 step model for analyzing the effectiveness and also ranking the engineering changes for increasing systems viability with the use of Monte Carlo and Electre methods. The applicability of the model is shown by using illustrative example of space system datas Manuscript profile -

Given that the financial market consists of the two main pillars of the money market and the capital market, the most important task of the capital market is to attract scattered capital and its optimal allocation to units that move both for economic development and to maintain the expected interests of investors. Therefore, banks, as the engine of financing the economy, are of special importance for other enterprises active in the economy, both for the government and for the banks themselves. Accordingly, identifying the factors and indicators affecting performance and profitability, risk management, as well as changes in their stock prices, both in terms of bank management and from a macroeconomic point of view, can guide the economy and governments. On the other hand, given that the main activity of banks is to provide facilities and loans to applicants, proper management of banking challenges and improving the factors affecting the efficiency and effectiveness of banking resources, can move the economic cycle in the right direction. Accordingly, the researcher analyzed the information of 11 banks in the 9-year period from 2009 to 2017 to assess the impact of management ability, political relations and financial crises on performance improvement, risk management and falling prices of banks listed on the stock exchange. Tehran Stock Exchange paid. The results of the analysis of hypotheses in three parts show that first, the ability to manage has no significant effects on any of the performance indicators of banks, including return on assets, return on capital, growth rate of shared income and growth rate of non-shared income, as well as management ability on liquidity risk effects. It is significant, but it does not affect credit, operational and bankruptcy risk. Finally, the ability to manage has not affected the risk of falling stock prices of banks.

In this article, contingency theory is used as the theoretical framework of the research. This is a quantitative study in terms of research type. The survey method has been used as a research strategy and data collection method. The main tool of data collection in the research is a standard questionnaire, which is adapted based on the questionnaire used in the research of Junkira et al. (2018). Smart pls software was used for data analysis. The results of the research show that more competitive forces cause the formation of the strategy chosen by organizations, however, contrary to what the theoretical foundations predict, those companies that operate in more competitive environments choose a cost leadership strategy instead of choosing a differentiation strategy. . The design and use of management control systems is influenced by the strategy chosen by the company. In addition, the use of contemporary management methods is associated with differentiation strategy. The choice of strategy and management control systems in the organization has a significant positive effect on organizational performance. In addition, those companies that combine the differentiation strategy with contemporary management practices perform better than the other companies studied. Manuscript profile
