Currently, the digital economy has changed the common forms of business actions and the ways of functioning and interacting with organizations, and its evolution cycle is still on its development path with the development of several transformative technologies such as blockchain. The new generation of blockchain with the potential to be used in commercial and public industries leads to the elimination of opaque, redundant, and often unprotected organizational structures. However, the implementation of private blockchain requires correct decisions of consortia and organizations in the selection of service providers. Hence, the present study aims to provide a decision-making process for the evaluation and selection of blockchain platforms in enterprise applications. To achieve the goal, a three-step process including extracting effective criteria for evaluating private blockchains, determining the importance and weight of the identified components, and Comparative analysis of organization options have been performed. The research findings show that 9 measures of security (with an importance coefficient of 0.16), fault tolerance (0.14), consensus algorithms (0.13), scalability (0.12), compatibility and interaction (0.11), cost factors (0.11), performance (0.10), ease of use (0.08), and popularity (0.03), are the most essential factors in evaluating private and permissioned blockchains. Also, the results of the comparison of private blockchain platforms show that Hyperledger Fabric is the most common platform used by organizations and is in a distinct position compared to competitors and other similar platforms.

The research strategy in the qualitative phase is based on grounded theory, and the data analysis method used in this research is the systematic approach (Strauss and Corbin's systematic model). Data collection was conducted through interviews. Accordingly, in the qualitative phase, 16 interviews were conducted with experts from ACECR's technology-based organizations, and 4 supplementary interviews were also conducted to achieve theoretical saturation. In the quantitative phase, the research method was descriptive-survey, and the data collection tool in this phase was a questionnaire. The results showed that organizational ambidexterity management was identified as the core category in this research. Its sub-concepts include ambidexterity structure management, innovative culture management, and ambidexterity processes management, which constituted the core category. Based on the obtained results, the causal conditions in this research are ambidextrous management and leadership, ambidextrous human resources, and multi-faceted structures. On the other hand, the contexts were organizational ambidexterity culture, upstream documents, and Jihadi culture. Furthermore, the strategies resulting from the grounded theory model are designing ambidextrous human resource processes, designing a technology commercialization model, designing an organizational ambidexterity evaluation system, and designing a resource allocation system. On the other hand, institutional communications in the field of science and technology and the organizational ambidexterity environment were identified as intervening factors. Finally, value creation, completion of the technology chain, organizational development, and organizational paradox management were the consequences identified and explained as factors influencing organizational ambidexterity in line with commercialization in technology-based organizations.

These technologies have the potential to transform traditional lending processes by enhancing accessibility, speed, and efficiency. This study aims to identify and rank new lending technologies employed by fintechs. The research methodology is qualitative, with a statistical population comprising 12 senior employees from the research and planning department of Bank Tejarat. Initially, based on the existing literature and prior research, emerging lending technologies, along with relevant criteria and sub-criteria, were identified and finalized through expert validation. Using the fuzzy DEMATEL method, the interrelationships among organizational, technical, operational, and financial-economic criteria were analyzed. Results indicated that the technical criterion had the highest influence, while the organizational criterion was the most influenced. Subsequently, fuzzy ANP was utilized to assign weights to the criteria and sub-criteria. Finally, rankings were conducted using two fuzzy methods, SAW (Simple Additive Weighting) and TOPSIS, entirely within Excel. By averaging the results of both SAW and TOPSIS methods, the final ranking of 17 sub-criteria was obtained, with artificial intelligence, big data, blockchain, payment systems, and cloud computing securing the top five positions, respectively. Artificial intelligence emerged as the top choice in this analysis. This research can assist financial institutions and fintech startups in selecting and implementing the appropriate technology to effectively enhance lending performance.
