Development of ICT services specially those presented by mobile phone operators and increasing competition forces operators to offer new and various services. Operators try to motivate users to apply their innovations by presenting appropriate quality and price. Regarding to the importance of this issue, we survey the effect of service quality and users’ satisfaction on innovation adoption by mobile phone users and predict innovation adoption. The relationship between service quality, customer satisfaction, and innovation adoption will be evaluated and compared using Structural Equation Modelling technique. Also, after extracting the appropriate factors, the probability of acceptance of new services will be calculated using logistic regression method. The results showed that customer orientation and flexibility in services have a major effect on innovation adoption by users. Furthermore, the first mobile operator can attract a lot of users.by offering new services and focusing on these factors.

Business Intelligence (BI) is a concept that today due to the enormous growth of information and complexity in a variety of industries and businesses is considered vital.In this research, the literature in relation to the concept of BI, models and existing techniques for evaluating BI maturity was reviewed. This study is descriptive based on objective and data was collected using a combination of methods including in-depth interviews with experts in the field of business intelligence and literature review. In this study, business intelligence is defined as "the ability of an individual or group of individuals in solving business issues and advancement in business goals". Our review of the results of the latest research in the field showed that none of the existing models for the assessment of business intelligence maturity have all the necessary standards. These standards include comprehensiveness, clarity, and having theoretical foundation. In this study, in addition to the above shortcomings, we have highlighted the lack of definition of weights of BI factors in its growth as the other weaknesses of previous models. In this regard, we have defined the relative importance of BI factors. The results of this study were proposing the concept of BI and a comprehensive model for BI Maturity Assessment and this was achieved by the combination of current models.
