The current dynamic and turbulent business environment has forced organization to change their traditional methods of conducting business. Hence, it is important for organizations to evaluate e-readiness to use the advantages of recent developments in information technology. The ever-increasing number of studies on e-readiness and scattered information in this field has sparked the interest of this research in a systematic and scientific manner. This paper, using meta-analysis method and Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Software (CMA2), aggregated the findings of 15 master theses and six articles. A total number of 23 studies were selected according to inclusive criteria. The finding of this study confirmed the important of variables such as human resource, management factors,Organizational capabilities, infrastructure, economic factors and environmental factors on the e-readiness of Iranian organization.

These efforts may be faced with the customer rejection. The purpose of this study was to investigate factors affecting the implementation of IT projects in the field of electronic banking in Iran.This review can be helpful to assess the readiness of the organization with other organizations and to focus on the factors that have a significant impact on the success of this project. This company can solve problems related to electronic banking solution and then proceed to implement the project. In this case, the company will be able to spend less time and money and have a higher probability of success. For this first stage, with study of previous research documentation and interviews with people, factors affecting these projects are identified and Then a questionnaire of 39 experts, professionals and projects in question were implemented various electronic bankingFinally, using exploratory factor analysis. Factors mentioned, listed in three categories as evaluation and preparation, identification and classification. Also, the gap between current and desired state of implementation of IT projectsin each of the components is done in three categories. Using the Wilcoxon test, claims of the gap between current and desired status was confirmed. Finally, the importance of the gaps and priority actions to prepare the company for the correct implementation of electronic banking were determined

The studies confirmed a positive statistical correlation between technical readiness and flexibility IT the effectiveness of IT. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between these two variables on the effectiveness of IT. Finally, the outcome of this study was to develop knowledge in order to better allocate resources to achieve greater effectiveness in the information technology. Accordingly, the three questions posed in the form of a structural equation model was presented. The general approach of this research is descriptive survey research. Malek’Ashtar University employees are society of this research. In This study simple random sampling method was used. The study questionnaire distributed in the sample after determining and confirming indicators independent and dependent variables related by Experts. Using the first-order confirmatory factor analysis indices fitting assessed to analyze the data, then use the second order factor analysis studied fitting model concepts finally, assessed structural equation modeling conceptual model. The study have been used of smart PLS software for data analysis. The results obtained indicate that there is the relationship between organization technical readiness and flexibility information technology to the Effectiveness IT. This Subject shows the positive impact of organization technological readiness and information technology flexibility on the Effectiveness IT on the organization.
