This paper extends a kind of evaluation process based on fuzzy TOPS IS approach. By focusing on determining the importance and weights of criteria which are effective on decision making , then selecting by lean on Anthropy and eigenvector methods in which comparison between criteria are linguistic and by achieving the weights we try to show the importance for criteria. The application and the mix of several methods in this paper are used to choose the best tickicide and to rank the available alternatives.

Experiments have shown the most important factor in leakage of gas pressure stations are taps. Gas leakage in industrial environment has hazardous effects.so, there is important to consider the same factors in these environments. To recognize these factors, it is necessary to represent the importance of avoiding these events by risk evaluation methods. Fault tree analysis is a method which can recognize the fault points in a system and it is able to obtain the probability of these events. To analyze the problem, fault tree of each region in the gas station is drawn. Then the data of these regions (including the probability of failure parts) are entered to FTA software. The outputs of software can be used to analyze the system. The outputs show that the most part of leakage caused by refnenet gas region which turbines are activated. Finally, some procedures are suggested for preventive of leakage in gas stations.

A Hype Cycle is a graphic representation of the maturity, adoption and business application of specific technologies. Hype Cycles also show how and when technologies move beyond the hype, offer practical benefits and become widely accepted.
In other words, the hype cycle is one tool for technology assessment. It captures the observation of the technologies, no matter how different they are; generally follow a certain pattern with respect to hype and time over enthusiasm, followed by disillusionment, and a gradual improvement in the technology that potentially leads to maturity. The periods of over enthusiasm and disillusionment typically originate from unrealistic expectations and are reinforced by media effects.
In this article, we have introduced different dimensions of Hype Cycle and its applications, and have compared main adoption indicators of Hype Cycle between Iran and USA. Moreover, we have shown that, this tool can be used from investors, who want to invest in High-Tech Industries.

One of the important aspects in organizational behavior is organizational climate. While organizational climate is conceptualized as a characteristic of organizations which is reflected in the descriptions employees make of the policies, practices and conditions which exist in the environment.
Organizational climate is reflected beliefs that employees make of the organization. The purpose of this study is to examine cross- sectional of organizational climate in steel industry>. The sample includes technical specialist, nontechnical specialist, technician and administrative people. The data collected through climate instruments is subjected. The instrument organizational climate is Litwin & Stringer questionnaire. The overall finding of this study is that agreemen people on organizational climate different. Technical specialist agreemen more than other people. The most dispersal opinion is nontechnical specialist. According to a case study in steel industry, it was found out that which organizational climate technical specialist, nontechnical specialist, technician and administrative people is different.

Forecasting is a base of any planning method especially human resource planning. One of the most important problems of organizations is human resource and personnel's problems. Accompanied by advance in the human societies and therefore complication in organizations, these subjects create opportunities and challenges for managers. A proper human resource planning can increase job satisfaction, promote quality and favorites of manpower and decrease staffing cost. Nowadays quantitative and qualities tools and methods are existent that utilize for human resource planning. This article is a research in tree dependent's firm of holding Software Company that applies one of most common method in planning. For estimate human resource needs in future stage, using tree previous year information that confine in six stages and duration of any stage is six month. Markov chain analyze is a method that use for estimate human resource in four job categories. Content scope in this research is human resource issues.

One of the important aspects of ERP both for practitioners and researchers are the “implementing considerations”. While companies worldwide have spent considerable investments on the ERP systems, but they've confronted unexpected problems and realization of its final benefits is blurred. In order to implement ERP with minimum risk and assured ROI, it’s necessary' to identify the organizational parameters affecting it positively or negatively. This study aims at describing proper organizational conditions for this organizational system, for Iranian manufacturing industries, and Irankhodro Company as a case. This organizational condition has been investigated in an organizational Architecture framework. OA has been viewed from a plan/design view and the research model has been developed as a variable called design coherence and its effect on the ERP success. Design coherence, is the coherence between HR attitudes about the dimensions of the organization and the real design. The results show that in the proper OA for ERP there exists design coherence. This finding is verified through existing evidences obtained from past studies. Regarding the case company, Irankhodro we can say that the aforementioned organization should move toward this coherence in order to preparation for ERP. Managing the system reliability regarding the organizational information systems (EISs) is an important consideration which merit attention for maximizing the benefits of investigation on such an expensive information system called ERP.
