The purpose of this study is to consider the importance role of operational and financial variables and also extract these variables in four-echelon supply chain network in a systematic mode. In addition, this study explores the direct and indirect relations of variables, clustering concepts, making co-occurrence networks and calculating micro and macro indices of Scientometrics using co-occurrence analyses. The methodology of the research is content analysis and Scientometrics. Data were collected from four databases (science direct, emerald, wiley, SID) between 2013-2016. Data analyzes were done by Excel, VosViewer and Nodexl. The results of the content analysis extract 106 variables that the most frequent variables were demand, profit and price. In addition, co-occurrence analysis of operational and financial variables shows high Solidarity of the network (more than 80 percent density) that the result confirms the goodness clustering of the variables. Regards to this study, researchers and practitioners can use and employ the results in difference modeling (like: mathematical modeling, structural equation model, …).

Nowadays using Information Technology to overcome rapid environmental changes and adopting flexibility is necessary and inevitable. Yet, implementation ofIT projects in many cases is subject to failure. This research seeks to identify vital elements/factors of success and failure of IT projects in Iran and defining techniques to decrease the rate of failure. These elements/factors have been assessed under two general classifications: infrastructural including technical, human, economic, cultural, and management! administrative factors, and superficial, including size of the organization and the project, To identifying infrastructural factors, expert survey questionnaires has been applied. Results show that administrative/ management-strategic factors, and cultural - social are more important than financial - economic and technological - human factors. And most important of all is the absence of sufficient commitment on the side of senior managers of the organizations and unfamiliarity of people and authorities with the structure and performance 0 f IT. Superficial factors have been analyzed dynamically in two dimensions: size of the organization and the project. The results of the descriptive analysis shows that the larger the organization and the project, the higher the risk of failure.By the end, the conceptual model of the vital elements of success and failure of IT projects has been presented as well as suggestions for successful execution of such projects and future research in this field.
