THE PRESENT RESEARCH AIMED AT EVALUATING THE QUALITY OF E-LEARNING SERVICES OF SHAHID BEHESHTI UNIVERSITY IN 2010. FIRST, 67 SERVICE QUALITY ASSESSMENT CRITERIA WERE DETERMINED BASED ON THEORETICAL PRINCIPLES, COMMON MODELS OF E-SERVICES AND E-LEARNING IN HIGHER EDUCATION, AND EXPERTS’ INTERVIEWS. THEN, THE EXPLORATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS WAS USED TO CLASSIFY THE CRITERIA IN 10 DIMENSIONS OF FACULTY, REPUTATION, STAFF, EDUCATIONAL PLANNING, ACCESS, RESPONSIVENESS, COMMUNICATION, WEBSITE DESIGN, FEEDBACK, AND FLEXIBILITY. THE FINAL MODEL FOR THE QUALITY ASSESSMENT OF THE E-LEARNING COURSES WAS CONFIRMED USING THE CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS. DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS, INFERENTIAL STATISTICS, AND CHEN AND HUANG’S FUZZY SPECTRUM WERE USED TO ANALYZE THE COLLECTED DATA. CONTENT VALIDITY WAS EVALUATED AND CONFIRMED BY E-LEARNING PROFESSORS AND IT PROFESSIONALS. THE CONSTRUCT VALIDITY WAS APPROVED USING FACTOR ANALYSIS, AND RELIABILITY WAS MEASURED BY CALCULATING CRONBACH’S ALPHA AS 84%. FUZZY ANALYTICAL NETWORK PROCESS, WAS USED TO CALCULATE THE RELATIVE WEIGHTS OF MULTIPLE CRITERIA AND TO IDENTIFY INTERDEPENDENCIES OF THE OBTAINED CRITERIA. THE CASE STUDY SHOWS HOW THIS APPROACH CAN BE USE TO ASSESS THE SERVICES QUALITY.

"THE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE SYSTEM" IS A RESPONSE TO THE PROBLEM OF AGENCY WHICH IS CAUSED BY THE "SEPARATION OF CONTROL FROM OWNERSHIP". AFTER REPRESENTING AGENCY THEORY, AGENCY RELATIONS WERE WIDELY AFFECT THE VARIETY OF TOPICS IN FINANCIAL LITERATURE AND GRADUALLY, ESPECIALLY WITH THE EMERGENCE OF FINANCIAL SCANDALS AND BANKRUPTCIES OF COMPANIES AND FINANCIAL CORRUPTION THAT OCCURRED IN THE LATE TWENTIETH CENTURY, CORPORATE GOVERNANCE SYSTEM DISCUSSION HAS ALSO ATTRACTED MORE ATTENTION.IN THIS STUDY, THE EFFECTS OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE ON THE EFFICIENCY OF CASH MANAGEMENT IS EVALUATED IN MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT INDUSTRY. THE SAMPLE CONSISTED OF 15 COMPANIES LISTED ON THE TEHRAN STOCK EXCHANGE IN MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT INDUSTRY IN 1385-1393, WHICH WERE SELECTED THROUGH SCREENING. HYPOTHESIS TEST WAS CONDUCTED THROUGH MULTIPLE REGRESSION AND GENERALIZED LEAST SQUARES (GLS) METHOD. THE RESULTS OF THIS STUDY IN MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT INDUSTRY INDICATE A SIGNIFICANT POSITIVE CORRELATION BETWEEN CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT COMPONENTS PERFORMANCE OF THE CASH CONVERSION CYCLE.

BANK SYSTEMS ARE AMONG THE EFFECTIVE FACTORS ON ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES OF A SOCIETY. DIFFERENT TYPES OF INVESTMENTS AND THEIR RATES AND INTEREST RATES PLAY CRITICAL ROLE IN PRODUCTIVE ACTIVITIES AND CREATING JOB OPPORTUNITIES. SINCE IN THE PRESET STUDY A DETERMINING BANK INTEREST RATE SYSTEM WAS PRESENTED, FOUR BANKS, NAMELY, AGRICULTURE, SAMAN, PASARGAD AND SINA BANKS, WERE EXAMINED WITH REGARD TO BANK INTEREST RATE IN THE LITERATURE. EXAMINING THE BONUS BANKING INDICATES THAT IN THE LITERATURE, THE RATE OF BONUS RATE AND INTEREST RATE DURING THE TIME IN WHICH THE RESEARCH WAS CONDUCTED WAS RANGED FROM 10% TO 18% IN WHICH THE LOWEST AMOUNT WAS GIVEN TO THE SHORT TERM INVESTMENT WHILE THE HIGHEST ONE WAS 18% WHICH WAS GIVEN TO ONE-YEAR LONG TERM INVESTMENT. IN THE PRESENT ARTICLE, THERE WAS AN ATTEMPT TO EXAMINE THE BANK INTEREST RATES IN ORDER TO PRESENT A NEW SYSTEM OF INTEREST WHICH WAS SURVEYED BY QUESTIONNAIRE AT THE END OF THE STUDY.

IN THE COMPETITIVE ECONOMY OF TODAY, THOSE COMPANIES ARE TO SUCCEED THAT CAN DESIGN EFFICIENTLY AND PRODUCE PRODUCTIONS THAT WOULD BE PREFERRED BY ITS CUSTOMERS OVER THOSE OF THEIR COMPETITORS AND THOSE COMPANIES WHICH DESIRE TO FIND FOR THEIR PERFORMANCE A POSITION IN WORLD-CLASS SHOULD HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO QUICKLY, EFFICIENTLY AND EFFECTIVELY RESPOND TO CHANGES IN GLOBAL MARKETS. SO PLANS MUST BE COME UP WITH WHICH MAY SATISFY CUSTOMERS’ NEEDS AND LEAD TO HIGH-QUALITY PRODUCTS THAT CAN COMPETE WITH OTHER COMPANIES. THIS PAPER AIMS AT DEVELOPING THE WAY WE CAN USE QFD(QUALITY FUNCTION DEPLOYMENT) AND VA(VALUE ANALYSIS) TOOLS BOTH THEORETICALLY AND IN CASE STUDY. OUT OF IRANIAN CARS, PRIDE WAS CHOSEN BECAUSE OF QUALITY DRAWBACKS IT SUFFERS FROM AND THEN THE COMBINING PROCESS OF QFDVA WAS APPLIED TO ITS BODYWORK. FINALLY, THE RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS WAS ANALYZED BY DEVELOPING AND DISTRIBUTING A QUESTIONNAIRE. SPSS SOFTWARE WAS USED FOR ANALYZING THE DATA. COMBINING QFD AND VA IN PRODUCT DESIGN OBVIATED ONE OF THE EXECUTIVE PROBLEMS IN QFD, E.I, INABILITY OF THE LATTER IN RECOGNIZING ALL CUSTOMER NEEDS. THE OPTIMAL VALUE OF THE FEATURES OF PRODUCT DESIGN CAN BE ASSESSED BY USING THE ABOVE-MENTIONED TOOLS. ASSESSMENT OF THESE FEATURES PROVIDES FOR ALLOCATING RESOURCES OPTIMALLY TO THE RECOGNIZED FUNCTIONS. ONE OTHER FINDING OF THE RESEARCH IS THAT USING QFDVA IN NEW PRODUCT DESIGN (NPD) IMPROVES THE COMPETITIVE STATUS OF THE COMPANY IN RELATION TO ITS COMPETITORS IN GLOBAL MARKET THROUGH IMPROVING DESIGNING AND, CONSEQUENTLY, DECREASING THE COST, INCREASING THE QUALITY AND BOOSTING SALES. THIS PAPER PROVIDES SOME INFORMATION FOR CAR INDUSTRY AND HAS SOME IMPLICATIONS FOR DEFEATING THE COMPETITORS IN THE COMPETITION-RIDDEN MARKET OF TODAY.

CURRENTLY EXPORT-IMPORT BUSINESSES FACE THE PROBLEM OF STAGNATION AFTER A SPECIFIC TIME PERIOD FROM THE ACTIVITY OF A BUSINESS. IN ORDER TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM WE HAD TO IDENTIFY THE MAIN ELEMENTS ACTIVE IN AN EXPORT-IMPORT BUSINESS. USING THE SIX ELEMENTS, SIX GUIDELINES WERE GENERATED, WHICH ARE SUPPOSED TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM OF STAGNATION. ON THE NEXT LEVEL THE SIX GUIDELINES WERE CATEGORIZED IN THREE GROUPS, WHERE THE RELATED GUIDELINES WERE GROUPED TOGETHER, AND COULD BE ACTIVATED TOGETHER AS A SOLUTION.
