  The purpose of project risk management is to improve project performance by systematically identifying and assessing risks, developing strategies to reduce threats and to maximize opportunities. According to our review, some key success factors have previously been identified in project risk management literature, but their importance relative to each other has yet been uncovered. This paper introduces an applicable model to diagnose and to rank the project risk management key success factors of an assumed project, using group decision-making. Surely, having the obtained rank may lead the project manager view toward focusing on critical points of project risk management. The proposed model could be used by the analysts of the other management fields. The paper ends with explaining a case study. Manuscript profile

  Achievements and research findings could n't be a factor for creation of wealth and welfare for society until they will be commercialized. So the creation of contexts for commercialization, not only provides significant economic value for organization, but also leads to economic and technical growth of community. In this study, the challenges and success factors of commercialization for research achievements will be identified and ranked. This research in terms of the objective is applied research, and in terms of how to gathering data, is descriptive survey. First, by the literature review and use of expert’s opinions in the Institute of Communications and Information Technology and using the Delphi technique, 11 challenges and 19 success factors for commercialization of research achievements were identified. For measuring the consensus, Kendall's Coefficient and for ranking the factor the Friedman test are used. The results show that the most important challenges are "weak laws protecting intellectual property, economic barriers, lack of commercialization strategies" and the most important success factors are "requiring faculty to estimates business plan for their new research propsals, intellectual property protection, and effective communication between universities and industry".

  ERP system implementation can affect all the functions of the areas in organization and lead to increased efficiency and total productivity in the organization. But usually the organizations face with important problems and barriers such as restrictions on capital, resources, poor management and so on during the process of ERP implementation. One of the priorities of economic development in many of the developed countries is small and medium firms. What is important in these companies is ERP system implementation, so in this research we provide a model for successful ERP implementation by using its critical success factors in ERP life cycle. Therefore, study population in this research is small and medium companies based in the industrial city of Rasht Sefidrud taken into account that the number of respondents included 166 patients and for analysing the results by using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results obtained confirm the factors to company's strategy (transparent goals), accuracy of information and knowledge management, organizational structure (organizational readiness), experience, knowledge and expertise of the members of the project team and the support and participation of senior managers in step pre implementation, and approve all contributing factors is in during ERP implementation. As well as factors of change management, system acceptance / resistance ERP, collaboration and communication between departments, participation of stakeholders (end users, shareholders, etc.) and the Steering Committee also approved sample was in ERP post implementation step.

  With increasing cost, complexity and speed of technological changes and global competition, to ensure that technological investment is consistent and aligned to present and future needs of the organization, industry and country has become the most important challenges for policy makers and managers. So, technology management and innovation through a structured and flexible approach such as TRM is necessary. However Road mapping projects implementation and use of its advantages is impossible without identifying and prioritizing of success factors of technology road mapping. The aim of this work is using interpretive structural modeling technique to analyze the affecting factors on the success of technology road mapping. This helps improving technology road mapping process and identifying appropriate organizational policies. For this purpose, we firstly focus on literature review to extraction of technology road mapping success factors. Then, interpretive structural modeling technique is used for revealing the relation between those factors. For data gathering, 17 questionnaires are distributed among people with executive background or related working experience. The results show that the effective factors were classified in four levels. the most influencing factors are related to "commitment and support of management", "financial support" and "access to data, information and required knowledge", " appropriate participation of people ", "proper facilator" and " Accepting roadmapping ". The most influenced factors are "quality of roadmap" and "flexibility for reasonable changes by updating of roadmap"'. Manuscript profile

  In recently years, the importance of environmental and social performances of industries beside their economic performance resulted in formation of a new concept and approach that is named sustainability. In today’s competitive world, different industries to achieve a competitive advantage and maintain their survival, needs to move towards achieving sustainability approach. The main problem is that, the implementation of this approach is simply not possible, and there are several barriers in this way. To deal with this, need to identify and understand the critical success factors. This study aimed to identify and analysis the critical success factors in implementation of sustainable supply chain management in the automotive industry. This paper proposes an interpretive structural modeling (ISM) approach to develop a structural model for evaluating the influential factors among recognized factors. After literature review, the 16 factors based on experts opinions have been selected. In presented research results, the factor of “top management commitment and support” is identified as the most effective and the factor of “Knowledge of competitive advantage” is identified as the most dependent critical success factor.
