Abstract :

The objective of this research was to identify and prioritize the effective criteria on the selection of investment projects of Iran's Chinese Soil Industries Company. This research was applied in terms of purpose, descriptive-survey in terms of nature, and field studies in terms of data collection. The statistical population included managers and accounting, financial and marketing staff of Chinese Soil Company. According to the hierarchical method, the number of samples was 20, and the sampling method used in this research was purposive sampling. In order to collect information related to the theoretical foundations and background of the research, library and documentary methods were used. In this research, the effective criteria on the selection of investment projects were first identified based on previous studies, and after their confirmation by the opinions of professors and experts, they were ranked using the fuzzy hierarchy method. In order to analyze the data, Fuzzy Topsis method was used with BT Fuzzy Topsis Solver software. The results showed that the effective criteria on the selection of investment projects of Iran Chinese Soil Industries Company include organizational factors, technical factors, financial factors and project-oriented factors. Also, in the evaluation of the following criteria: timely return of capital in the first place, technical and equipment needs in the second place, estimation of income and profitability of the project in the third place, financial and operational risks of the project in the fourth place, compliance with social responsibility in the fifth place .
