Nowadays, information technology plays a very important role in the world business. While information technology offers opportunities for creating new business by opening new markets up and introducing new products and services, but its acceptance encounters with many difficulties, specially by small and medium enterprises (SMEs). For example, a survey conducted by Verison found that 36% of small and medium enterprises established web sites primarily to advertise and promote their business, compared to 9% who established one to sell or market online. Similarly, in a survey of 444 SMEs during 2002, Pratt found that many SMEs were reluctant to conduct transactions online, more than 80% were only using the Internet to communicate (via e–mail) and gather business information.This means that top managers/owners of SMEs do not realize the strategic value of electronic commerce to their business or this means that they encounter significant barriers to implementing it.(Cyber Atlas, 2003) The research objective is determining the effective behavioral factors on decision making of acceptance the electronic commerce by managers of SMEs in Tehran that it’s using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). The research focused on the behavioral intention and it doesn’t measure the actual behavior. The data collected from 226 persons of top managers/owners of SMEs in order to validating research models, then the models evaluated by Lisrel. The findings of the Davis’ Technology Acceptance Model presented a support to the theoretical links. Also the findings of the Ajzen’s Theory of Planned Behavior presented a support to the theoretical links (with the exception of the effect of subjective norm on the behavioral intention to accept/use the electronic commerce).

The main objective of this dissertation is the introduction of a risk-based model for operational auditing and testing its application in solving problems such as amount of fee, verification time allocation and planning of an operational audit engagement. The Government Audit Organization standards on risk concept, evidence and materiality are applied in the introduced model. The riskbased model, as a tool of planning, assists the auditors in proceeding to an acceptable assurance level.The introduced model is applied in seven audit engagement and collected data from those engagement are compared with 10 audit engagement performed by Audit Organization during 2001 to 2007 and effectivness, efficiency and economy of the model is measured. Effectiveness is defined as the accomplished results, efficiency is defined as the way that results are accomplished and economy is defined as the reduction of cost of the engagements.This research is qualitative, application oriented and based on constructivism philosophy. The approach of the research is deduction- induction and the strategy of the study is action research. Time horizon of research is longitudal. In order to test the hypothesis, essential data is collected by likert questionnaire and verification evidence of audits files. In this research SPSS NO.13 and Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon non-parametric tests are used.The results of the study confirms following the hypothesis of the dissertation as follows: Using risk – based model increase the acceptable level of assurance, acceptable level of materiality and facilitates the preparation of the budget on the basis of the standards of operational auditing process.Using the risk- based model increases the efficiency index of "number of deficiencies / number of teams member" and "number of offers / number of teams member" in operational auditing process.Using the risk- based model decreases the economy index of " actual hours / budgeted hours " in operational auditing process.

Dysfunctional Conflict can cause lost of energy, struggle and tension between managers, personnel and organizations customer.The main goal of the present study was to investigate the relationship between the communication system and the organizational conflict at Hazrate Rassoul Hospital.

The data was collected via questionnaires which were prepared by the researcher. Respondent was answered to the questionnaire by a self-report method. The information was analyzed by the Pearson Correlation Coefficient, the variance's test F analyses and the multiple variant regressions.Average score of the individual conflicts between managers and Their employees was (1.89). Among the indicators of the relationship system at the investigated hospital, positiveness (average 3.33), Empathy (3.20), and Supportiveness (2.24) were obtained desirable situation. There was a significant relationship between the communication system and the individual conflict between managers and their employees (R=0.651).
