Identification and prioritization of effective elements in usefulness of information and efficiency of stock price using multicriteria decision making (DANP)

Nowadays, it is necessary to enhance the usefulness of information and investigate effective indices in making decisions. The research aims to make decisions and identify the effective elements in making decisions by the users of accounting information. In the current study, the effective elements have been selected from ۸ classes and ۲۶ sub-elements using a matrix questionnaire according to the views of the experts. Then, the Fuzzy Dematel DANP method was used to determine the connections, intensity of effectiveness and impactability and to weigh and prioritize the elements, a network analysis process was used. The results of the fuzzy Dematel method (DANP) indicated that the elements including the items of financial statements (۰.۱۳۴۷), the structure of the quality board of directors (۰.۱۳۰۵), and the structure of quantitative ownership (۰.۱۲۸) are the most effective elements in making decisions and efficiency of stock price, respectively. Out of basic elements, the items of financial statements with the weight of ۰.۱۳۴۷ have priority and the sub-elements involving operational cash flow (۰.۳۴۵۰), capital cash flow (۰.۳۳۶۷), and financing cash flow (۰.۳۱۸۳) are the first to third priorities, respectively. Also, the return on total assets (۱.۸۱۶), current ratio (۱.۷۹۱) and inventory turnover ratio (۱.۷۵۱) have been the most impactable elements according to the computed weights.
