Outsourcing in many of large, medium and small scale international companies is considered as a solution to reduce costs and increase incomes; it doesn’t imply that increase in outsourcing level isn’t involved with any problem. Although companies benefit from outsourcing to economize their costs (cost saving), there are unsuccessful outsourcing experiences which cause lack of achievement of the expected service level. Despite such issues, companies prefer to outsource their information technology (IT) services. The purpose of this article could be stated as identifying effective factors which cause IT companies face risks during outsourcing of their IT projects. Such objective is investigated using meta-synthesis method and prioritized factors. Besides, their influence level is determined using questionnaires. In the present study, effective factors influencing risk of IT projects outsourcing are extracted. Main variables consist of: contract, costs, security, legal factors, new technologies and innovation, Contractor exclusive issues and finally client items. These variables are validated by experts of this field then distributed throughout the companies which have ranked primarily by the Informatics council. They have been given (hold) the exploitation permit from previous industrial and mines ministry. Concerning descriptive statistics, among the 39 factors, the factors which were given the highest priority are as follow respectively: First of all, deviation from the contract terms and conditions. Second, insufficient allocation of time to execute the contract, and third, contractor poor performance, Forth, costs due to undelivered items and Finally using the contracts which aren’t prepared based on a specific procedure.

This research surveys relationship between contraction and expansion budget on Iranian private sector investment risks from 1981 to 2011. The establishment of central banks by industrial nations aimed at money value retaining with gold standard and limited trade with other states which were using gold standard. To achieve this goal, central banks decided to determine as a part of gold standard the interest rates based on which charged their debtors and other banks. The gold standard almost requires monthly adjustment and settlement. This research showed that Iranian economic growth rate (5.1%) equals that of states with low income and is far to reach East Asia developing states (8.9). meanwhile it’s a bit higher than average growth rate of developing states in Latin America (3.1), Middle East (4.3%), Africa (4.6), and Europe (5%). As well among selected states this rate for Iran is lower than states like china (10.3%), India (7.1%), UAE (5.8%) and Russia (5.5%), although being lower than states including Saudi Arabia (3.4%), Venezuela (3.9%), turkey (3.8%), Brazil (3.3%). Korea (4.4%), and Libya (4.3%). This comparison suggests that state average economic growth rate is relatively low. Many problems are indicated when investigating per capita production trend and Iranian economic growth rate as well as comparing it to other states. Low per capita production in Iran regarding state potentials makes the problem which suggests low economic welfare. Indeed, Iranian per capita production and thus economic welfare will grow up if economy experiences a long term of high economic growth rate and stability.
