v Today, interest in the identification and assessment of environmental impacts of different businesses tend to increase interest among researchers and activists, business information systems and information technology to green IT. The use of green IT in the industry is faced with opportunities and different challenges. The opportunities and challenges, can gain competitive advantage over the other competitors and the impact on the organization. Therefore, the use of these opportunities and offering solutions to the challenges of green information technology in the organizations is very important. This study presents a model to identify opportunities and challenges for green IT applications in organizations. The dimensions of green IT model are derived from literature review and were confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. In the present study, to determine the importance of each dimension, IT experts and academics views as well as fuzzy non-linear modeling are utilized. The results of mathematical model showed that the cost of implementing green IT solutions can be both an opportunity and a challenge to be addressed.

Planning and decision making are the basic duties of a project manager which without them it is almost impossible to reach the project goals. In planning and decision making process, firstly, risk factors should be identified and after that their impacts and probabilities should be measured. Therefore, risk management is a critical part of the project management and, ignorance of risk factors is one of the primary causes for the project to be failed. The purpose of this paper is to measure risk factors of IT projects .In this research, 13 main factors are identified, then, based on literature and experts opinion these factors are categorized in 3 groups (project factors, software factors, and internal and external organizational factors). Finally, using Monte Carlo simulation, risk associated with each factor is quantified. As the results of this research show “recourse” is the main factor for IT project. To be effective, managers need to consider suitable strategies in order to decrease the dangers related to the possible risks in the resources.
