Providing standard products and emphasizing on the financial measures do not guarantee the survival. Consequently, organizations are obliged to constantly analyze the market and anticipate the future needs of the customers. By examining various organizational diagnosis approaches and processes and considering the specifications and issues for all companies in Iran, this paper attempted to provide an integrated model to be established as an organizational diagnosis process in a selected company. Regarding the studies done in this field by using various models for the evaluation of the organization performance and organizational diagnosis, this research aimed to employ a comprehensive approach to identify and solve problems in organizations and to provide a fuzzy methodology to identify and rank the most important indicators of organizational diagnosis in the organization. As a case study in RojinTak Agro–industry, the study used the technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) as one of the multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) techniques for identifying and ranking criteria and EFQM approach in order to identify problems and provide solutions.

One of the main types of taxation is the petroleum tax which accounts for more than 30% of revenue for developed countries and more than 85% for developing economies. This work focuses on petroleum producing giants in Iran. The tax system has changed over time with changing circumstances such as the structure of political environment, the nature of respective oil industry, the policies of the individual oil associations, the price of oil, and domestic demand. The study found that the tax systems of Iran are not fixed over time and they are not adequately flexible to attune to profitability or non-profitability of oil as well as price. Energy resources are one of the factors essential to the economic development of countries such as Iran and five fossil fuels, especially oil products are the most important resources that are used. As a result, use of these fuels, on the one hand, reduce the energy resources that we face with the completion of the resources and on the other hand, we are actually affected by air pollution and climate change. Energy consumption patterns of production and consumption sectors are inappropriate and that has led to the lower position of Iran among other countries in terms of energy efficiency, causing environmental problems. According to the results, a tax on gasoline, gas oil, fuel oil and liquefied petroleum gas has been reduced to increase their consumption. Manuscript profile -

A questionnaire comprising 55 items was distributed among 400 couples in shopping centers in order to examine their decision-making styles. Analyses conducted included scale reliabilities and validities, as well as EFA and CFA were utilized. Seven decision making styles among Iranian couples associated with their shopping patterns were perceived. The findings indicated that decision making styles are culture-specific phenomena and differ among nations. While generally supportive of the CSI, the findings require more validation. The results can be employed to help enhance the effectiveness of marketers’ and sociologists’ strategies. The present research strives to clarify the decision-making styles of couples so as to provide marketers interested in the decision-making profile of Iranian consumers with information and therefore enable them to construct their marketing attempts accordingly.

In recent years, the recommender systems apply describing information in the terms of the user, such as location, time, and task, in order to produce relevant and even customized recommendations. Recently, some companies began to utilize the context information in their search engines. For instance, when choosing a song for the customer, it attempts to include the current mood of the listener in the context of the suggestions that the user makes. Employing context information, in view of the system's access and ability to collect information from the user interface, it offers more precise and user-friendly content that, in addition to obtaining user satisfaction, will also lead to the development and promotion of the field of work and the concept known as context-aware recommender system. In particular, this paper explores the dimensions of research, work areas, architectures, and tools employed and the ability to create a structure that researchers have based on in this area.

The present study was an attempt to evaluate the impact of different periods of life cycle of companies on the relevance of risk measures of companies. In this study, the collected data have been analyzed in three stages. First, the statistical sample companies were selected using the elimination method. Then, the companies were divided into the stages of creation, growth, maturity, recovery, and decline using the Dickinson Cash Flow Pattern [1]. In the next step, the effect of risk measures was investigated in each stage and the stock return was utilized as a dependent variable. In order to test the research hypotheses, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) test and the parametric multivariate regression method were used to check the normal distribution of data and to test the assumptions, respectively. The results of 406 year-company during the period of 2005-2015 indicated that the relevance of risk measures as well as the increasing explanatory power of risk measures in different stages of life cycle (birth, growth, maturity, recovery, and decline) have a significant difference with each other.

This controller is suggested for the design of the robust driver for three phase PMSM and the cost reduction of its control system. It’s useful for the industrial application and automation and ultimately speed control and the improvement of the dynamic behavior of the PMSM. Antiwindup control strategy prevents the increase of the output beyond its saturation point. So, it avoids the saturation. In effect, the suggestion of this new speed control scheme is in line with a goal to realize a better antiwindup scheme. The simulation results are shown for PMSM for two cases of antiwindup control strategy and fuzzy control strategy and with different operation modes. For this purpose, different three phase PMSM output waveforms are presented. These waveforms are presented for fuzzy control strategy in constant torque, constant speed and different reference speeds with focus on speed curve, electromagnetic torque and phase currents.
