The purpose of this paper is to present a new model of non-radial data envelopment analysis that is able to evaluate the systems one of these complete networks is supply chain of cement industry. In this paper, using a non-radial model in data envelopment analysis, a model with a network structure that can assess the sustainable supply chain of strategic industries is evaluated. In addition to commonly used financial and technical indicators, undesirable outcomes and sustainability criteria should be considered in the supply network.The new model was tested on the basis of actual data from 42 existing cement companies in the stock market. The results showed that this model could well evaluate performance in a networked structure. Based on the implementation of this model, 7 supply chains have been able to achieve efficiency.

The purpose of this study is to present a model for employee absenteeism management using Grounded Theory (GT). Since there is a lack of study on theorizing this construct, this study aimed to conceptualize a theoretical model applying GT. This research is a qualitative research. The sample size was 11 interviewers who were knowledgeable human resource and organizational experts. Required data was collected through semi structured interviews. In this study, the data were analyzed by open coding, axial and selection coding based on the GT method. Coding was done in two steps and the reliability of the results of the research was confirmed by calculating the similarity index of codes by two methods.

In this research using theoretical predictions from a real option-based investment framework, the present study aims to examine the effects of stock returns volatilities on changes of working capital accruals of firms. In addition, the moderating effect of variables such as, life cycle and ownership structure on the relationship between stock return volatilities and working capital accruals is studied. The statistical sample of this research consists of 111 firms accepted in Tehran Stock Exchange from 2004 to 2017.The research hypotheses are also examined by Generalized Least Squares (GLS) regression analysis. The results show that there is a significant negative relationship between volatilities of stock return and changes of working capital accruals of firms in general. On the other hand, results indicated that the effect of stock returns volatilities on firms is not the same in different stages of life cycle. this negative effect is at its highest level for mature companies and lowest level for decline companies and in the end results indicated that both ownership concentration and institutional investors in ownership structure of firms decreases the negative effect of stock returns volatilities on firms working capital accruals.

Abstract The intensification of the competitive environment between financial and credit institutions and the provision of new financial services in order to retain and attract customers, has made the use of more efficient electronic banking tools an inevitable necessity. Therefore, the present study intends to rank banks in terms of the efficiency of electronic services. In order to achieve the objectives of the research, statistical information related to the research was collected from the database of the Central Bank and the financial statements of banks during 2007-2017. Then the banks were ranked using two methods, TOPSIS and VIKOR, and then, using the analysis of variance test, the difference between the intra-group and inter-group means in using two methods was statistically examined. The results of the present study showed that in using the TOPSIS method, Mellat, Keshavarzi and Kar Afarin banks were ranked first, second and third, respectively. Meanwhile, in the ranking, according to Vikor method, Mellat, Kar Afarin and Pasargad banks won the first, second and third ranks. The results of analysis of variance showed that there was a significant difference in the mean of the group ranking of banks in the use of two methods. In other words, the ranking of banks based on two methods is statistically different. Since there is a statistical difference in the mean of the banks' ranking group using the VIKOR method, the results of the VIKOR method are more reliable.
