        Limitation of resources is an undeniable fact, which is dealt with many organizations such as media organizations. Hence, improving the performance of resource utilization of these organizations is one of the most important concerns of the managers. As a result, a manager must evaluate the performance of their organizations frequently. In this paper, we intend to measure the progress and regress of Iranian printed newspapers between two times 2016 and 2017. The current study is applied in terms of purpose and uses the Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI), which is a very useful approach in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to measure the rate of progress and regress of decision-making units (DMUs) under evaluation. The data analysis was done utilizing GAMS, which is a high-level modeling system for mathematical programming and optimization. After reviewing the performance measurement literature and interviewing with media management specialists and also experts from the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance-Deputy of Press and Information Affairs, appropriate indicators were recognized and selected. The results of the comparison of intra-organizational indicators in two consecutive years of 2016 and 2017 represents that 29 units from 87 DMUs have experienced progress and 58 ones regressed. In order to improve the performance of the regressed units, an appropriate strategy has been proposed. Manuscript profile

        In the performance evaluation process, using the classic data envelopment analysis (DEA) models, decision making units (DMUs) are considered as black boxes. While in many cases and different applications such as investment funds, banks, insurance companies, etc., DMUs have a network structure. In addition, in many network structures, some of the indicators used to calculate the efficiency of DMUs have an undesirable nature. Therefore, it is necessary to provide an effective approach that takes into account the internal structure of the DMus and the inter-organizational relationships in the calculation of efficiency and also is capable to be used in the presence of undesirable data. Accordingly, the purpose of the present study is to provide a network data envelopment analysis (NDEA) model in order to performance assessment of DMUs with a two-stage structure in the presence of undesirable outputs. It should be noted that according to the two-stage structure of investment companies and the presence of undesirable output in their evaluation process, ten investment companies from Tehran Stock Exchange have been selected as a case study for the research. Finally, the results of their performance evaluation by applying the proposed approach of research have been analyzed. Manuscript profile

        This paper develops a balanced scorecard for supply chain management (SCM) that measures and evaluates day-to-day business operations from following four perspectives: finance, customer, internal business process, and learning and growth. The paper further suggests that a balanced SCM scorecard can be the foundation for a strategic SCM system provided that certain development guidelines are properly followed, appropriate metrics are evaluated, and key implementation obstacles are overcome. The balanced scorecard developed in this paper provides a useful guidance for the practical managers in evaluation and measuring of SCM in a balanced way and proposes a balanced performance measurement system to map and analyze supply chains. While suggesting balanced scorecard, different SCM performance metrics have been reviewed and distributed into four perspectives. This helps managers to evaluate SCM performance in a much-balanced way from all angles of business.   Manuscript profile

        The aim of this study was to design and explain the pattern of factors affecting the narcissism of managers with emphasis on regulatory mode (case study of managers of Payame Noor University). In terms of the applicability of the subject, the researcher, in order to answer the problem of managers' narcissism, should examine the issue at the level of the directors of Payame Noor universities. To further explain the problem, first narcissism was introduced; its definitions and dimensions from the point of view of thinkers, and by expressing various approaches and theories, the examples and consequences of narcissism were examined. The research method in this research is descriptive-survey type, from the field branch and in terms of applied nature. The statistical population and sample size in the qualitative part is 8 experts and management specialists and in the quantitative part includes all managers of Payame Noor university centers and units in region 5 (Isfahan, Yazd, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province), the total number of which is 168 people. Due to the limited statistical population, the sample size is considered equal to the statistical population. Data collection tools are semi-structured interviews and researcher-made questionnaires. Qualitative information analysis was performed based on data theory approach (three stages of open, axial and selective coding) and a quantitative part of inferential statistical methods (confirmatory factor analysis) and paradigmatic models. According to the main purpose of the study, using AMOS software, the effect of these factors on managers' narcissism was investigated. The first-order factor validation model was presented to measure the narcissistic component of managers. Then the significance of the difference between factor loads (regression weights) with zero value was presented. Because the calculated P value showed that among the 16 factors affecting the narcissism of managers, 3 factors are greater than 0.05, so with 95% confidence we can say that the calculated factor load for these 3 components is not significant and on the narcissism of the managers of Payam Noor universities. Light has no effect. By removing the three factors, the model was tested again and finally the model of factors affecting the narcissism of managers was designed. Manuscript profile

        In today's world due to the advantages of the supply chain for organizations, the majority of organizations have joined the supply chain. On the other hand, Performance Assessment is an essential element for the development of modern organizations. Because of joining the organizations to supply chain, organizations performance linked together along the supply chain and the measure of an organization's performance rate alone doesn’t indicate the performance of the supply chain. For this reason, in this study, we tried to review the previous literature and present a Comprehensive conceptual model of supply chain performance indicators in the balanced scorecard model. Then, BY using fuzzy analytic hierarchy process, the measured weights Model of Balanced Scorecard in the food industry were calculated. After getting feedback from some professionals in the supply chain and doing the calculation, it has been found that the customer perspective is most important and internal process, financial and learning and growth perspective in the supply chain performance importance, respectively. The quality of the food supply chain performance metrics is also the most important indicator and efficiency, competitiveness and reliability indicators are important, respectively.   Manuscript profile

        The cost of capital is important as a criterion for making investment decisions, creating the optimal capital structure, measuring the performance indicators and declining the future liquidity to determine the value. The provided funds are used in the assets with the hope to gain efficiency. A company works optimally when the efficiency of the company is more than its costs. Therefore, the cost of capital is the minimum rate of return that gaining it is essential to maintain the value of the company. Given the importance of liquidity of the company assets in order to reduce the cost of capital, especially in the financial crisis, the impact of this factor is examined on the cost of company capital. The managers should have enough information about the cost of capital, which is often called the minimum expected rate of return for the items such as taking decisions for capital budgeting, establishing optimal capital structure and so on. The required information in this research is extracted from the text of the audited financial statements and explanatory notes of the companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange for the years 2010 to 2014. The time period of the research consists of 5 consecutive years from 2010 to 2014 and the research sample includes 195 companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange. The method of hypotheses testing in this study is the panel data which is done by using software EVewis8 and according to the output of the software, the significance of the relationships between variables is investigated. The results of testing the research hypotheses suggest that a liquid market for real assets increases the operational flexibility and also the ability to create cash. Manuscript profile

        The goal of any Performance Measuring System (PMS) as an integral control mechanism, is the focus on and convey of the effects financial and non-financial information on decision-making and management decisions. The Diagnostic and Interactive use of the PMS as a measurement and feedback system is used for design and strategy testing for organizational coordination. The current study attempts to assess the effects of diagnostic and interactive use alongside the inherent PMS-level complexities on Organizational returns. Alongside this, varying intervening effects of environmental uncertainty contingencies on complexity levels were analysed from across 46 active organizations in the petrol industry during 1401. In this study, within Simon’s Lever of Control (LOC) framework, we focus on the design and function of PMS, alongside Contingency plans with a compatibility-mediation approach to test the presented theories of the partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) method. Our findings displayed that interactive functionality had a significant and positive relation with PMS, while the results of diagnostic functionality are left unsatisfactory (non-confirmed). Additionally, a significant correlation between complexity levels and environmental uncertainties with PMS outcomes, PMS outcomes in operational performance, Diagnostical and Interactive Functions in PMS complexities, and environmental uncertainties with Diagnostical and Interactive functions was confirmed.
