Reputation risk as one of the most important risks in any competitive industry and market should be considered before all the risks of the enterprise which also affects other risks. This research aims to review and manage reputation risk in the framework of enterprise risk management. Considering the importance of the subject and lack of available studies in this field, the innovation of presen...

In the area of software engineering, quality metrics have shown their importance for good programming practices and software designs. A design developed by the help of these metrics (e.g. coupling, cohesion, complexity, modularity and size) as guiding principals is likely to be less error-prone, easy to understand, maintain, and manage, and is more efficient. Several researchers already identif...

How the relative importance of community assembly processes varies with spatial scale is the focus of intensive debate, in part because inferring the scales at which specific niche-based processes act is difficult. One obstacle is that standard phylogenetic and functional diversity metrics may integrate the signals of multiple processes when combining separate niche axes into one variable (mult...
