Alliances can be a very effective way to achieve new strategic opportunities, but despite this, a high percentage of strategic alliances fail and end failure.. Therefore, the present study sought to identify the factors affecting the stability and stability of strategic alliances using a systematic review. The case of the study was all articles accepted from invalid databases after filtering in several stages, 44 articles were reviewed for final evaluation and analysis. In the coding process stage, the selected articles were performed and 30 sub-themes were divided into three main themes: Senior management team, structure, and business. In the individual section, the strategic ability of the leaders, the commitment of the senior management team, the coordination between the senior managers of the units, having interdisciplinary specializations, and having previous experience in the inter-company cooperation space were identified. In the structure section, module management process, continuous and short-term performance feedback, data output transparency, number of module partners, complementary resources, distinct goals, having an international perspective, intangible outputs, symmetric learning capabilities, clear division of labor, a form of governance, Type of contract, reward system, contract orientation and type of exchange were identified; For the business sector, cultural distance, market growth, partner reputation, partner size, partner experience, contract territory, type of partner activity, cash flow of each partner, a unique type of exchange, correct choice of key partner were selected. Finally, based on the five identified proportions (cultural, strategic, operational, organizational, and individual) at each level of sustainability, it can be significantly increased

The purpose of this research is to present a complete picture and an integrated framework of the Business Exit process. The process is complex, dynamic and lengthy. Decisions and actions in each step have a multi-faceted interaction with other steps. To achieve this purpose, in this research, 69 works published during the years 1990-2022 were reviewed and evaluated based on a systematic method. Based on the findings of this research, the exit process is divided into 5 steps (entry strategy, exit drivers, decision making, exit method, and consequences) in order to provide a better understanding and an integrated framework of the business exit process. 34 subcategories and 213 components were also identified. Out of these 69 studies (considering two categories for some articles), exit drivers (43), consequences (28), strategy and method of exit (28), decision-making (23), and entry strategy (11), respectively, are the most studies have been assigned to themselves.

Shopping in the general sense is ambiguous, it is both work, leisure and entertainment and it is an activity that oscillates between private life and privacy with social dimensions and in the tension between rationality and lust and a pleasant social form with necessary and obligatory activity. The aim of this study is to systematically study the research literature in the field of comparative comparison of shopping motivation studies, identify research gaps and propose suggestions accordingly. To this end, it seeks to answer the question of what are the strengths and weaknesses of existing domestic and foreign scientific articles in the field of shopping motivations in terms of problematics, theory and methodology. The method of this research was a systematic literature review of Latin and Persian articles in the field of studies related to shopping motivations. Articles found in 2001-2020 for Latin articles. By examining the keywords in the databases of this field and based on pre-determined criteria, appropriate articles were selected and analyzed. During the study of the dimensions of the studied articles, it can be stated that lack of attention to problematics, lack of various methodologies, dominance of positivist approach and lack of attention to interpretive paradigms and critical realism, lack of clear theoretical foundations and lack of attention to basic theories and related to the concepts of hedonic and utilitarian shopping motives are very evident. At the end of the research, based on the results of a systematic literature review is presented a model of purchasing motivation.

One of the new approaches to development is the good governance model, which can be achieved through e-governance. Given the extensive literature and the lack of a comprehensive and indigenous model for good e-government in the country, the present study aims to design a model for the establishment and development of good e-governance based on systematic review of articles and their analysis using a Meta-synthesis method. For this purpose, after searching the databases in the period of 2000 to 2018, finally 85 articles were selected and by analyzing their content, the relevant dimensions and codes were extracted and the importance and priority of each was determined using Shannon entropy. Based on research findings, Information and communication technology codes, Human resources with knowledge and skills in the use of information and communication technology, Confidentiality of information, network security, credibility and reliability of information, the reality of security laws, the validity of the information provided, the entry of legal procedures and civil society oversight of e-government performance, ease and convenience of citizens in using services and access to government information and the reduction of government spending were the most important factors among the 19 dimensions of establishing and developing good e-governance. Finally, After the research steps, the model of establishing and developing good e-governance was presented in three stages of reviewing and identifying the requirements, establishment and development of good e-governance.

Evaluating entrepreneurial opportunities exemplifies the decision-making under conditions of uncertainty. These evaluations mainly have been done in a complex and dynamic environment under true uncertainty. In contrast to risk and ambiguity, in true uncertainty not only all potential outcomes and their assigned probabilities are unknown, but also it is not possible easily to estimate the probabilities and acquire knowledge about the results. In these situations, entrepreneurs evaluate opportunities based on minimal and inaccurate information, which is described by fuzzy variables, i.e. linguistic variables that do not have any clear boundaries. Hence, adopting a fuzzy approach, the purpose of this paper is to propose a model for evaluating entrepreneurial opportunities under conditions of uncertainty. This study is the first using fuzzy screening to formulate opportunity evaluation as a Multi-Expert Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (ME-MCDM) problem and it is innovative in this research area. In doing so, first, through a systematic literature review and focus group the authors identified entrepreneurs’ current solutions for evaluating opportunities under true uncertainty. Then, a ME-MCDM model has been suggested to evaluate opportunities and select between them. The model is based on fuzzy screening method and evaluates 12 opportunities by 15 experts in a medium entrepreneurial firm. R software has been used to perform calculations. With regard to experts’ aggregate evaluations, findings show that O6 and O11 have higher rating (better evaluation) among opportunities and considered as appropriate candidates for pursuing.

The main purpose of this paper is to provide a structured insight into the current state of marketing research in Iran. Therefore, a systematic review of 966 studies published in Persian scientific journals (2001-2015) was conducted. The review of published studies shows that consumer behavior, brand and marketing strategy are the first three subjects that have been considered by researcher and have experienced a growing trend. Findings show that majority of active researchers in marketing have only one published study; therefore, mainstream of research in this field does not reach to its professional maturity. Also, published researches are mainly based on quantitative methods (structural equations modeling and inferential statistical analysis). Using quantitative methods has a direct relationship with the type of data collection and show a significant difference with the growing trend of qualitative research in the international marketing journals.
