the importance and various applications of information technology have made fundamental changes in all organizations. the aim of the present study was to identify and prioritize the obstacles to the application of information technology in sport and youth offices using fuzzy topsis technique. the study had an application purpose and used a descriptive-survey methodology and data were collected ...

Fuzzy logic systems technology, particularly fuzzy control and fuzzy modeling techniques, is one of the most successful practical applications of fuzzy set and logic theory. In the past few years, the trend has been to combine fuzzy logic systems technology with artificial neural network technology to produce so called neural-fuzzy or fuzzy-neural systems. The objective is to take the advantage...

Multi Period–Multi Product (MPMP) production planning problems are well-known in the literature and several researches had been carried out in this area. However, designing a well organized control mechanism in terms of time– cost point of views had not been taken into considerations. In this paper, such a control mechanism is implemented successfully using earned value analysis which is well-k...

Commercial potential is the opportunity of commercialization of the candidate technology. Every new technology to reach market needs to thrive and prosper in a continuously changing and unpredictable business environment. Determination of commercial potential of a technology is a necessary prerequisite element for defining successful commercialization strategies. Commercial potential can be det...

Technology is viewed as one of the major factors determining the competitiveness position of an industry. For the sake of technology competitiveness; however, countries need to encourage private firms to develop technology R&D projects. How to select proper R&D projects to be supported for governments is very important policy. In this study we propose a hierarchical dependence structure for ITD...

Abstract This author introduces the concept of Stepwise Strategy Approach (SSA) for dealing with a number of problems arises in the current age of technology. This new idea is combined with the knowledge of Grey Theory for adding flexibility to decision making process. Grey theory is useful for grasping the ambiguity exists in the utilized information and the fuzziness appears in the human judg...

The mass adoption of digital technologies raises questions about how they impact people and society. Associations between technology use negative correlates (e.g., depression anxiety) remain common. However, pre-registered studies have failed to replicate these findings. Regardless direction, many designs rely on psychometric scales that claim define quantify a construct associated with engagem...
