The purpose of this research is to protect the interests of the two parties to the contract, who jointly or separately have requirements and restrictions and expect the details of the agreement to be such that their interests are protected. In fact, this research provides a calculation method for agreement in contracts, which is very frequent in the real world and is a bridge to communicate between humanities and computing sciences. Methodology: In this research, a model based on the game theory mechanism is proposed for the equilibrium point. To clarify the details of the contract, the 4p, 7p, ... models that are in the marketing mix are considered. Binary numbers are used to determine game strategies. And finally, a mathematical model is presented to calculate the consequences of the game. Therefore, research is an interdisciplinary work. Findings and results: The number of strategies in such games is exponential in nature, and with the increase in the number of variables, the problem will become very large and difficult, and its solution will be a challenge. In addition to modeling the problem, the solution algorithm of this model is also presented has been done, and real-world examples are given to clarify the issue.

Sahar Taheripour, Mohammadhossein Sobhiyah — Sun, 30 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0330

Every year, many academic theses are compiled in the field of project management. The problems that are raised as the reason for carrying out theses are sometimes derived from the theoretical gap in the existing literature, and achieving the research problem that is derived from the real context of the projects has been neglected. Perhaps one of the reasons is the lack of parallel communication between university and industry. The result is that a lot of research that takes a lot of time and money from students, is not practical at that time and does not help the existing problems of industry. As a result, in this research, project management problems in Iran have been collected in 163 academic theses through searching in various databases and the participation of a number of students over five years (2017-2021) to be compared with project management problems in the executive environment of Iran's industry. Also, university project management problems in Iran were compared with project management problems in the world (562 articles published in IJPM and PMJ journals). The results showed that Iran's academic sector focuses more on problems such as project control, sustainability and claims, which have a good convergence with Iran's industrial sector in some problems such as sustainability; If most of the world's orientation is on behavioral, governance and emerging technologies problems.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of androgenic characteristics of managers on the way companies fulfill their social responsibilities. To achieve this research goal, we reviewed the data of 143 companies admitted to the Tehran Stock Exchange between 2012 and 2021, which spans nine consecutive years. Then, to examine and analyze the data, we used statistical methods such as regression analysis of combined (panel) data and data mining methods like neural networks and decision trees. We applied Charnes and Cooper's function (1962) to ascertain corporate social responsibility (CSR). Results suggested that the androgenic characteristics of managers had significant positive effects on fulfilling companies' social responsibilities. This research was the first to study the androgenic feature as an independent variable associated with managers' appearance. In other words, in this research, for the first time, a non-financial variable that is related to a person's appearance has been investigated in relation to the way companies fulfill their CSR.
