“…Regarding the other confounding factor, namely monetary expansion, the COVID-19 crisis caused, starting in March 2020, the Fed and 20 other central banks to put forth unconventional monetary policy measures to respond to the severe recession caused by the COVID-19 pandemic [107]. According to Rebucci et al [108], the effectiveness of quantitative easing (QE) has not decreased in advanced economies.…”

“…As an emerging economic environment, Iran could not implement proper expansionary economic policies due to economic sanctions and the outbreak of COVID-19. The intensification of instabilities in 2020, i.e., the beginning of COVID-19, the sharp decrease in oil exports (due to the tightening of sanctions), the decrease in non-oil exports (due to the spread of the coronavirus), and the increase in exchange rates, triggered inflationary expectations [108]. The increase in inflation expectations caused liquidity to flow into the assets market (real estate, stocks, durable goods, etc.)…”

Society has gradually realized that companies’ actions have consequences. Companies can fulfill their accountability to society by disclosing information beyond their financial data, providing better decision making for stakeholders. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on earnings persistence (EP) for the moderator roles of operational efficiency and financing cost for the companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. For this purpose, the statistical population consists of 714 firm-year observations from 2014 to 2020 (7 years). A multivariate regression method was used based on the panel data analysis method to test the research hypotheses. The results indicate that corporate social responsibility for earnings persistence has a positive and significant relationship with the moderator role of operational efficiency, but is unrelated to the moderator role of financing cost. The majority of the prior research in this field has focused on developing countries. An international perspective is critical, and this study helps draw a more contextualized picture of sustainability than before.

In the realm of managerial decision-making, particularly within the last few decades, the process has emerged as a formidable challenge. This paper focuses on strategic decision-making, crucial in determining organizational success or failure amidst prevailing uncertainties. To address this, the Matrix Approach to Robustness Analysis (MARA), a recent innovation, is integrated with the established Strengths-Weaknesses-Opportunities-Threats (SWOT) matrix. This integration aims to deliver robust outcomes in strategic planning for travel agencies. The methodology involves a comprehensive analysis of internal and external factors pertinent to a travel agency, applying the analytical rigor of the SWOT matrix. Subsequent to this analysis, a series of strategies are formulated. Central to this study is the identification of key environmental indicators, as perceived by stakeholders, which influence strategic outcomes. Through these indicators, various future scenarios are constructed, culminating in nineteen plausible scenarios. Each strategy, totalling twelve, is then evaluated against these scenarios to ascertain the conditions under which they are most effective, resulting in a performance matrix. The final phase involves calculating the robustness analysis scores for each strategy under two different assessment conditions: rigorous and lenient. These scores provide a basis for strategy prioritization in both scenarios. The analysis reveals that the strategy of expanding new pilgrimage tours holds the greatest promise, while the employment of relatives within the agency is deemed least effective. This study contributes to the field by offering a structured methodology for travel agencies to navigate uncertain environments, using a combination of MARA and SWOT. The findings underscore the importance of scenario-based strategic planning and robustness analysis in enhancing decision-making processes.

Because of hyper complexity, difficulty to define, multiple stakeholders with conflicting perspectives, and lack of clear-cut solutions, wicked problems necessitate innovative and adaptive strategies. Operations Research has been a valuable tool for managers to make informed decisions for years. However, as we face increasingly complex and messy problems, it has become apparent that relying solely on either hard or soft OR approaches is no longer sufficient. We need to explore more innovative methodologies to address these wicked problems effectively. This study has bridged the research gap by proposing a structured process encompassing a subdivision-based problem structuring method for defining the wicked problem, a multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) for prioritizing sub-problems, and a hard OR technique, data envelopment analysis (DEA) for tackling one of the most critical sub-divisions. The proposed methodology, implemented in a case study, focuses on a higher education institution experiencing a decline in student admissions and involves five steps. First, a diverse group of stakeholders is formed to ensure comprehensive consideration of perspectives. Second, the wicked problem is defined, considering long-term consequences, multiple stakeholders, and qualitative stakeholder opinions. Third, a hierarchical structure is created to break down the wicked problem into manageable sub-problems. Fourth, a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method prioritizes sub-problems. Finally, the sub-problems are addressed one by one using a combination of soft and hard OR tools. The findings highlight the benefits of integrating hard and soft OR approaches. The article concludes with reflections on the implications of using a combined OR approach to tackle wicked problems in higher education and beyond.
