Previous research has shown that the path to personal branding is not always smooth, and there are many failed examples that demonstrate that they did not do their personal branding correctly and did not consider all aspects of the work. This issue was investigated in this study, and the factors influencing personal branding in cyberspace were identified. To achieve the objectives, two phases of data collection were carried out: a qualitative phase and a quantitative phase. During the qualitative phase, in-depth interviews were conducted with 30 experts in the fields of personal branding and cyberspace, and 39 indicators affecting personal branding in cyberspace were extracted using the content analysis method. Then, in a quantitative phase, a researcher-created questionnaire was developed based on the qualitative phase's indicators, and 392 respondents were provided. The extracted indicators were then reduced in the form of 9 components affecting personal branding in cyberspace and introduced as factors affecting personal branding in cyberspace using exploratory factor analysis. These are the nine components: self-identification and self-values, trust building, a distinct and charismatic personality, self-description, developing knowledge, endurance, attracting opportunities, paying attention to the environment, and originality.

Given the importance of service delivery speed and material handling in the perishable food supply chain, the use of the IOT transformation technology can provide a competitive advantage for manufacturing firms. Recently, some food companies have started using IOT technology in their supply chains. Background review showed that three categories of technological, organizational and environmental factors can affect supply chain performance. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate these three factors on the process of the perishable food supply chain based on IOT. First, by reviewing supply chain processes, a 5-step process was selected as the comprehensive process. Then the dimensions of these factors became from the literature and the conceptual model of the research was drawn by combining the effect of these factors on the supply chain process. The information was obtained through the distribution of a 24-item questionnaire among 203 managers of food production units as a research community and was analyzed by correlation analysis and structural equation modeling. The analysis unit of the Department of Spicy Food is that it uses levels of IOT. The results showed that environmental factors as a whole and technological factors affect the sustainable food supply chain from 4 dimensions. But organizational factors were not confirmed in 3 hypotheses. This will be a warning for managers who are interested in their companies being successful.
