Studiesshow that most organizations make these decisions mainly based on their overhead costs. In theseorganizations, those activities are selected for outsourcing which decrease the overhead costs.In spite of wide studies about outsourcing a documented and comprehensive procedure for decisionmaking is not provided in the literature. In most articles, Only a quantitative spect of the decision makingprocess, that is cost, is considered or some guidelines are provided about the strategic nature of the decisions.In this study, a model is provided to make decisions about the amount of outsouring of maintenancesystems in manufacturing companies.Maintenance of equipment is mainly one of the candidates of outsourcing in manufacturing companies.With respect to importance of the system, while making decisions to outsource them, all related advantagesand risks should be considered and their short and long term outcomes should be regarded.In this model, first, using cluster analysis technique, all maintenance activities will be divided to someclusters. Then, it will be decided which of the clusters should be outsourced. Decision – making stepsinclude; Core competence, suppliers' market analysis, Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP), sensitivityanalysis and final decision – making.

However, hospitals frequently overlook objective criteria when evaluating and selecting waste disposal firms, relying instead on subjective judgment and past experiences. This research proposes a decision-making framework that presents a hybrid model combining multi-criteria decision-making and linear programming. The primary objective of this study is to propose a safe and efficient method for outsourcing disposing of or recycling hospital waste. Material and Methodology: This study presents a framework for decision-making in hospital waste disposal, addressing both single and multiple outsourcing scenarios. Firstly, the literature is reviewed to identify the criteria for evaluating waste disposal firms. The DEMATEL method is employed to explore the cause-and-effect relationships among these criteria, selecting the most significant ones and visualizing their causal relationships in a network format. The analytic network process (ANP) method is then utilized to evaluate and choose the most suitable waste disposal firm in a single outsourcing scenario. Additionally, to mitigate the risks associated with single outsourcing, a linear programming model is introduced for multiple outsourcing. This mathematical model determines the optimal allocation of waste quantities to various waste disposal firms, aiming to maximize the overall amount of waste disposed of by these firms. Fidings: The framework introduced in this study was put into practice to assess and choose hospital waste disposal firms in Tehran. Through a comprehensive literature review, 10 evaluation criteria were identified. Among these, the six most influential criteria were selected using the DEMATEL method, and their causal relationships were depicted in a network. The ANP was employed to assign weights to the evaluation criteria and the candidate firms. The evaluation criteria, in descending order of importance, include qualified human resources, recycling and disposal capacity, experience, cost, collection and transportation infrastructure, and waste disposal and recycling technology. Furthermore, a linear programming model was solved using Lingo software to optimize the allocation of waste among the candidate firms. Discussion & Conclusion: The decision-making model presented in this article offers advantages to both hospital officials and urban pollution control officials in the context of outsourcing sanitary waste disposal. The outcomes obtained from implementing the proposed framework demonstrate that decision-making based on this model not only benefits hospitals in selecting a suitable firm but also helps to mitigate conflicts of interest and disagreements between hospitals, sanitary waste disposal firms, and urban pollution control officials.

The political regime requires a transition from the three stages of externalization, objectification, and internalization to becoming reality. In political history of Iran, the familiarity of Iranians with the European political systems, especially after the Constitutional Revolution, was the beginning of the idea of reforming and changing the political system among the Iranian elites. After the victory of constitutionalism in Iran and its subsequent developments, the "Republican rapture" erupted at an amazing pace. Most researches have interpreted this incident, a group political tool against the governing board, and have been less concerned with explaining and analyzing it than an epistemological view. From this point of view, although the Iranian intellectual elites erred their mental acts about different forms of government, especially the republic, and later the Republic as a political regime was blamed for a group of political actors but could not go beyond the stage of extermination. The present study uses an analytical-descriptive method and the application of the Burger model to answer this question, what were the reasons for the failure of Republicanism? The hypothesis of the present study is that the republic did not reach an agreement between intellectuals between the intellectual and political elites and was not created as a social reality, because chaos, insecurity, living experience and lack of work of constitutional institutions prevented an agreement between the elites of Iran for The Republic's transition from the stage of extrusion to the stages of objectification and internalisation.

An Organization that decides to outsource part of its activities will initially raise the question of what activities to outsource. However, given the absence of a solid scientific and systematic framework and processes for strategic decision-making of outsourcing services, organizations face diverse problems. The Purpose of this article was to utilize Decision tools with multiple criteria in order to identify and rank the indicators that may affect the business process outsourcing. Also, we used the techniques of Analytic Hierarchical Process in order to calculate the weight of these factors and options raised in the business process outsourcing. Also the magnitude of relationships between the indicators of outsourcing (IT) was examined using DEMATEL technique. Manuscript profile -

Cloud accounting information systems provide extensive and comprehensive network access per use; Compared to traditional accounting systems, they provide better opportunities for scale, better access to the software and hardware in question, greater control, and the potential for better collaboration with supply chain partners. The main outsourcing mechanism allows business groups to split into smaller processes and cross organizational or geographical boundaries, making processes more outsourced and improving flexibility in organizing process delivery, reducing Costs and focus on the core processes of the company. The statistical population of the study includes 384 members of the Accounting and Auditing Association in 2021. The content method, convergent and divergent, was used to assess the validity of the questionnaire, and the structural equation method by LISREL software was used to test the accuracy of the theoretical model of the research and to calculate the impact coefficients. The results showed that process repetition, expert workforce, information intensity and customer contact need have a positive and significant effect on cloud accounting users, and uncertainty has a negative and significant effect on cloud accounting users.

The aim of this research is to present a model for the development of technological startups to enhance the dynamics of extra-organizational navigation mechanisms. Methodology: The research adopts an exploratory objective and a mixed-method approach (qualitative-quantitative). The qualitative research population consists of experts and top managers of industrial companies listed on the stock exchange, with 20 purposively selected participants, and sampling continued until theoretical saturation was achieved.Within the quantitative segment, the sample comprises 500 individuals drawn from the academic faculty, senior executives, middle managers, and industry experts associated with firms listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. The sample size of 217 individuals was determined using Cochran's formula for the period spanning 2012 to 2022. Findings: The results indicate that constraints on financial resources (research and development budgets) and risk-sharing, the transition towards the digital economy synchronized with regional and global developments, market penetration processes, increasing competitiveness, and the formation of an economic scale for product development, as well as social and cultural transformations such as the emergence of an educated middle class, underscore the necessity of strategic thinking in organizations commensurate with changes in the operating environment as key factors in the development of startups. Moreover, contextual and intervening factors include 10 and 5 categories, respectively, comprising macroeconomic conditions and constraints in attracting foreign investment, and the inherent complexity of innovation and commercialization, especially in advanced technology domains. Furthermore, strategies encompassing 16 components, including adopting an agile startup approach and risk-taking and crisis management. Additionally, consequential categories include creating value for businesses following a market-oriented approach through resource integration and product development. In the quantitative section, the conceptual research model was tested, and the research hypothesis was confirmed. Originality/Scientific Contribution: The research findings can contribute to enhancing competition among companies listed on the stock exchange, and it is expected that the establishment of extra-organizational navigation mechanisms will effectively assist in the implementation of the board of directors' tasks and compliance with legal requirements.
