Research has shown that complexity may be a significant factor in a project's failure to meet cost, time, and quality goals. Although important indicators of project complexity have been identified in many studies, their weight effect has yet to be investigated. This article reviewed the project complexity literature to develop a simple and dynamic framework, and 40 complexity indicators were identified and classified into nine factors. Then, they were provided to 30 industrial experts and two research consultants for evaluation to determine the role of each indicator in Evaluating the complexity of industrial projects. These indicators were validated, weighted, and ranked during the three stages of implementing the Delphi method. The results showed that the indicators related to the complexity factors of the project's context, content, and dependency have the highest accumulated weight. Also, the presence of uncertainty and ambiguity in increasing the weight of each indicator showed an influential role. The presented framework was used to measure the level of complexity in 14 industrial projects. The results showed a high level of complexity in international projects being implemented by Iranian companies. Despite the difference in complexity management approach in these projects, commonalities were identified for which the proposed solutions can help other project managers achieve positive results for complexity management. With the help of the results of this research, project managers can have a framework for measuring complexity management and allow industry experts to prioritize and efficiently allocate their limited resources in complex projects.

Considering the crucial position of the banking system is in the country's economic development and the competitive environment prevailing in the banking industry, designing and defining a new institutional pattern make this face on the banks to be felt. Therefore identifying the main components of the e-entrepreneurial organization dimensions and its pattern and delivering it to run on the banking system is the main aim of this paper.
The statistical society of the research has been 214 members of the managers and experts of the Refah Bank's headquarters offices in Tehran. At first the conceptual model of e-entrepreneurial organization was drown from implementation of Delphi Method. Statistical Analysis has been used in the following of identification the relationship between variables and testing 7 hypotheses considered for this study (which has been conducted through SPSS and Lisrel).
In accordance to findings of this research, if organization elements get influenced by the entrepreneurship process and the acquisition of e-readiness process, under the influence of values ruling the society and banking industry, the result will be a new face of organization which can call it “the electronic entrepreneurial organization”. Due to providing customers with new products and creating electronically values for them, EEO has more efficacy than traditional organizations.

After the industrial economy span that caused many changes in the human life and the human systems, now we are facing a new era in the electronic revolution. One of the symbols of this electronic revolution is Mobile Commerce. Nowadays, this new style of trading has been used in many parts of the globe especially, in the developing countries. Now the fundamental question is how to design and explain the business development model. To solve this issue, the present exploratory study has been conducted, with the scoring and weighting the extracted factors and making items for them, by the Delphi panel of experts (during four rounds), the researcher found three dimensions (technological, social and personality) and twelve new variables. These variables formed the conceptual model of Mobile Commerce. The conceptual model has been examined in the Iranian Virtual Society with designed questionnaire and using AMOS software. The collected data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling. For this purpose, initially the structural relationships have been tested by using Confirmatory Factor Analysis, then with a Path Analysis approach the hypotheses have been examined. At the end this research, with the future studies approach and adding the time dimension to the three dimensions, makes the model more dynamic.

The project excellence model (PEM) evaluates projects by a comprehensive approach and measures the success and excellence of a project based on a set of pre-defined criteria. This model includes nine evaluation criteria that one of them is the “leadership” criterion. The execution responsibility of leadership in projects is undertaken by project managers. In this paper, a comprehensive conceptual competency model is presented by focusing on the PEM's leadership criterion. This model suggests three general dimensions as necessary criteria for evaluating project managers, which are knowledge competency, performance competency and behavioral competency. Moreover, in this research, to achieve optimum evaluation process, a new multi-attribute decision making (MADM) method is designed integrating the Delphi and VIKOR techniques in a fuzzy environment. The proposed competency model and fuzzy hybrid evaluation method can be considered as a decision support system (DSS) that not only helps development of the project excellence level but is a move towards systematic planning and scientific decision making in the successful project management process.
