Research Article Hamed Heidari* Morteza Mousakhani** Abstract: Providing financial services on Blockchain-based platforms as a new approach to financial markets has a lot of room for growth. This demonstrates the need to study and identify the drivers of users' attitudes towards using Blockchain-based financial services. For this purpose, technology adoption models have been used. Using a combination of several technology adoption models, this research aims to study the factors affecting customers' intention to use financial services in Blockchain-based platforms to determine what factors drive users to use them. For this purpose, first, the literature was studied and a conceptual framework was extracted, and in accordance with the model, a structural equation model has been developed. The results have shown that the individual tendency to trust and also structural guarantees, directly affect initial trust and in the following users’ initial trust influences users' behavioral intentions. In addition, technological features and task characteristics, directly influence technology-task fit and technology-task fit affects users' behavioral intention. Furthermore, expecting performance directly affects the behavioral intention of users. This study has concluded that the propensity to use financial services in Blockchain-based platforms is under the influence of social needs and even Blockchain constraints cannot reduce the desire to use financial services based on this technology. * Ph.D. Student, Department of Information Technology Management, Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran. ** Faculty Member, Department of Management, Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran (Corresponding Author: pres@qiau.ac.ir) , Iran. *** Faculty Member, Department of Information Technology Management, Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran. **** Faculty Member, Department of Management Faculty of Management, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran. ****** Faculty Member, Department of Technology Management, Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran.

In recent decades, design thinking as a new approach to problem solving and innovation has attracted the attention of many researchers in different fields. Many organizations and individuals today are taking advantage of design thinking as they seek to use the skills and processes of designers to come up with solutions to complex problems or create processes that optimize results and improve conditions. However, there is no consensus in the field of research on the basic features, applications, and definitions of design thinking. To elucidate the knowledge of this field and conceptualize design thinking and its role as cognitive constructs in the entrepreneurial literature, this research has comprehensively reviewed 106 conceptual and empirical studies of a total of 2037 articles from 1985 to 2019. This study is a descriptive and systematic literature review. Identification of different conceptualizations of design thinking, tools for designing thinking, models discussed in this field, and its relation to entrepreneurship are the results of this study.

This study addresses the security of information systems (ISS) as one of the most important issues in organizations and especially municipalities. Instead of exceptions, information security breaches have become a norm, and security of information systems can only be realized when employees completely accept this concept by changing their behavior in line with advanced information security systems. The model of this research is based on institutional theory. This two-way model has introduced organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and counterproductive work behavior (CWB) in the process of verifying the security of the information system. This research also measures the impact of innovative culture on the information security system. The statistical population of the study consisted of Mashhad Municipal Information Technology experts and data collection tool was a questionnaire. The data support mainly the proposed research model and the results indicate the application of institutional theory in explaining the process of institutionalizing the changes in the security of the information system on the innovative culture of the organization, legitimizing and accepting those changes, and increasing organizational citizenship behavior (reduction of counterproductive work behavior) in employees Which, in the end, will increase the effectiveness of the security of the information system.

Nowadays, people use others' opinions on social networks for decision-making to purchase online products and services. Likewise, the companies which offer the products employ sentiment analysis of opinions of users and customers to adopt informed decisions and offer new products. Considering the high volume of the contextual data, conversion, and analysis of such data is a major challenge in e-commerce. Sentiment analysis is a modern approach in the extraction of opinions. The obtained information from sentiment analysis can have a considerable impact on the efficient selection of customers. In the present study, a model has been proposed for sentiment analysis of users' opinions for buying a cell phone in Digikala. This study is applicable to the objective aspect. The data includes users' opinions in Digikala. The statistical sample consists of opinions of cell phone users in Digikala. Supervised learning, as well as Python package, were utilized for analysis and implementation. A model has been proposed for sentiment analysis of users' opinions. The results demonstrate that this model can classify users' opinions with an accuracy equal to 0.892. Similarly, the results reveal that users' opinions about ease of use, possibilities, and capabilities of the cell phone are positive and about purchase value to price, innovation, design and appearance, and quality of cell phones are negative. The proposed model can be implemented in e-commerce websites like Digikala and its output can be observed by users systematically. Finally, it can be led to inform decision-making for buyers and companies which offer products.
