The statistical population included 30 experts and managers of the Omid Entrepreneurship Fund and top entrepreneurs of Markazi province. The required data was collected using a standard questionnaire with a reliability coefficient of 0.75. The research hypotheses were tested using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) test in SPSS software. The results showed that the mentioned factors are effective on the development of entrepreneurship. The impact of the entrepreneurial knowledge and skills variable was more than the other two variables.

Key performance indicators (KPIs) that are essential for expanding the role of renewable energy in the supply chain are thoroughly examined in this research review. Understanding how important it is to strike a balance between economic feasibility and environmental sustainability, the study looks at a wide range of indicators to help with strategic decision-making. Businesses that want to be in line with global sustainability goals must integrate renewable energy sources, like wind and solar power. The KPIs that have been identified include metrics that monitor the share of renewable energy, on-site capacity, and improvements in energy efficiency. These metrics give businesses a road map for reducing their carbon footprint and eventually realizing significant cost savings. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of stakeholder engagement and supply chain adoption, stressing the multiplier effect of cooperative sustainability initiatives. Indicators such as return on investment (ROI) for renewable energy investments highlight financial sustainability and make sure that the financial advantages of sustainability programs are properly measured and conveyed. The study also emphasizes how innovation and technology adoption can maximize the use of renewable energy sources while promoting resilience and adaptability. Going forward, a continuous improvement mindset is required due to the dynamic nature of renewable energy technologies. Ongoing initiatives, innovation metrics, and industry recognition indicators emphasize maintaining a leading position in sustainable practices. Businesses that actively adopt these KPIs position themselves as leaders in resilience, innovation, and corporate social responsibility in addition to being environmental stewards. These qualities are crucial for navigating the complexities of a rapidly changing global business landscape.
As China’s higher education begins to change from the original elite education to mass education, it is required to establish and improve the quality evaluation system and mechanism as soon as possible. How to comprehensively evaluate the performance of higher education teachers based on the implementation of effective incentives has become the focus of governance and institutional innovation in higher education nowadays. How to fully mobilize the human resources of higher education institutions to work actively and give full play to their creativity is an important issue related to the realization of the strategic objectives of the university. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to establish a scientific and reasonable performance evaluation system for human resources in colleges and universities. The paper draws out a new performance evaluation method by analyzing four existing performance evaluation methods and discussing their advantages, disadvantages and peculiarities. The importance and practical application of the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process method show that it is more suitable for the performance evaluation of teachers in Chinese colleges and universities than the previous four methods.
Market analysis is a fundamental process that enables businesses to understand and navigate the dynamic landscape of their target markets. It involves gathering, interpreting, and evaluating data related to market size, growth potential, customer needs, competition, and industry trends. Through market analysis, businesses gain insights into the demand for their products or services, identify market opportunities, and make informed decisions to effectively position and promote their offerings.
This abstract highlights the importance of market analysis in helping businesses assess market potential, identify target customers, and develop effective marketing strategies. It emphasizes the significance of gathering relevant data, conducting competitive analyses, and understanding consumer behavior to gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Market analysis serves as a foundation for decision-making, allowing businesses to align their goals and objectives with market demands and optimize their chances of success.
In summary, market analysis provides a comprehensive understanding of the market dynamics, enabling businesses to make informed decisions, tailor their offerings to meet customer needs, and effectively compete in the marketplace. It is an essential tool for strategic planning and ensuring sustainable growth in an ever-evolving business environment.
The current research was conducted with the aim of explaining the impact of stress on the health and performance of human resources of banks and identifying stress management strategies in the banking industry. To achieve the mentioned purpose, this study reviewed some important factors that can affect stress in the bank industry. The findings of the research showed that stress has an effect on the health of human resources with indicators such as headache, fatigue, mood swings, despair, digestive and weight problems, sleep problems, heart rate, etc. The aforementioned stress has an impact on human resource performance due to causes such as high workload, inappropriate work environment factors, work technical factors, interaction and communication, work responsibilities, lack of decisiveness of the manager, etc. Another finding of the research was that strategies such as employee assistance programs, employee counseling sessions, development and training programs, meditation and yoga, time management, stress management program, advertising activities, reward system, and motivational meetings, were used to manage stress.
