Green building has attracted widespread attention in recent years. Increasing building projects in Iran has had significant environmental impacts and green building implementation is an appropriate approach to reduce the environmental risks. Green building projects facing with risks unwittingly which, reduce their efficiency. Therefore, identifying and ranking the risks can play a significant role in the success of green building projects. Due to the few studies in this area in Iran, this study aims to provides a new comprehensive framework of all the criteria and risks of green building projects. For this purpose, the first step aims to identify and screen the risks from the viewpoint of experts in green building projects and introducing the risk assessment criteria. After that, the next step is to apply the SWARA method to obtain the weight of the criteria. Finally, Ranking of the risks of green building projects has been done using the COPRAS method. This is the first attempt to solve a green building project using a hybrid of SWARA and COPRAS through a case study (Amol). The results show that risks of: the low quality of materials and equipment, the stakeholder resistance to approve the green ideas and lack of realistic goals are very important. The proposed framework can help stakeholders of green building projects in developing countries to manage project risks more efficiently.

Risk is inherent and inseparable part of life and business. Always uncertainty condition arising from incomplete information and data or ungovernable variables, associated with opportunities and threats.Nowadays many organizations and companies have relied heavily on information systems and information security management has transformed to an important organizational topics. And due to the fact that the use of information systems security may be created some risks, an effective risk management process, will result in a successful security program. Risk management includes risk identification process, risk assessment and risk-reduction efforts to acceptable levels. The objective of this research is to prioritize information security risks, in order to provide a mechanism to enhance the security of enterprise information. To this end, a model has been presented for organizational information security risk assessment using the fuzzy AHP and Bayesian networks. In the assessment process, risks impact by fuzzy AHP and risks probability by Bayesian networks have calculated and finally The risks Prioritized. The findings suggest In the case study, the risk of lack of knowledge and lack of proper training in the field of information security, have the highest priority and attention is needed most

Project cost estimation and actual time is one of the serious concernsof project managers. Earned Value Management is considered as atechnique for answering two following questions: how long does ittake to complete a project? How much does the project cost? ProjectPerformance Evaluation can only be predicated based on previousdata and knowledge in the present dealings of earned value and itsfuture conditions and prospects would not be categorically realized.Although there are many proposed methods to solve these boundaries,there is not a method encompassing all uncertainties and futureconditions. This paper aims at introducing a new method using timelimits, costs and project performance in fuzzy logic to determine theearned value indexes. Risk factors are added to the Fuzzy logics inorder to obtaining the precise estimation in predicting the finaloutcomes of the project. This paper provides a brief introductionregarding the current methods followed by investigation on Fuzzymethodology and risk factors. Finally, the offered model is proposed,defined and supported by means of an example

Supply chain is a network of independent organizations that cooperate with each other, in order to control, manage and improve material and information flow from suppliers to final consumers to meet customer satisfaction. In Industry, especially industries that are moving towards the longer supply chain, the issue of supply chain risk management is important.
The risk management process focuses on the identification of risks and reduction of theirs adverse effects. Risk management process in supply chain includes four-phase identification, assessment, control or management and tracking of risky events. The aim of risk assessment is risk measurement based on various attributes. A key part of this process is risk rating; in this article first, with study of multi criteria decision making, it was tried to recognize the appropriate model for ranking of risk factors in order to determine their priority and allocate resources to deal with each of them. More, the field of information technology in small and medium enterprises was studied and after recognizing of risk factors of field of information technology in small and medium enterprises, Electre, Topsis and Taxonomy techniques to rank these factors were used.
More and also with calculating the Spearman correlation coefficient for detecting convergence of ratings, using the mean method, the final ranking risk factors in the supply chain field were acquired.

This research is done in order to evaluate and manage IT/IS outsourcing risks. Awareness about outsourcing, as a supportive source of organization strategies, is increasing and it is not only seen as a factor to reduce organization costs anymore. For this reason, organizations inclination to use IT Outsourcing, in order to pass useful feedback to the environment, is tremendously increasing. In this research we used expected loss perspective for evaluating risks of IT activities in Ab-Niru Company.
Research's results determined that some systems, which are closed to the core competency activities in the company, have highest amount of outsourcing risk and some systems which are not so close to the core competency activities in the company, have lowest amount of outsourcing risk.
