Purpose: we prepared a questionnaire to evaluate Incompatible parts and also risk management
in University of Science and Technology E-Learning Center and studying the Incompatible parts
impacts on utility of organization.
Design/methodology/approach: By using coalitional game theory we present a new model to
recognize the degrees of incompatibility among independent divisions of an organization with
dependent security assets. Based on positive and negative interdependencies in the parts, the
model provides how the organization can decrease the security risks through non-cooperation
rather than cooperation. we implement the proposed model of this paper by analyzing the data
which have been provided by questionnaires from different three managers’ ideas of Iran
University of Science and Technology E-Learning Center located in Iran University of Science
and Technology, Tehran, Iran.
Findings: In general, by collecting data and analyzing them, the survey showed that Incompatible
parts of organizations have negative impacts on utility of organization risk management process.
Furthermore, it adds values to other organizations and provides the best practices in planning,
developing, implementing and monitoring risk management in organizations Research limitations/implications: Since Information security and also Risk Management are
still areas which need to improve in some Iranian universities, we couldn’t consider them in our
analysis. On the other hand, due to questionnaire limitation, the study’s sample size is 1. This size
may be considered large for our statistical analysis.
Originality/value: The main contribution of this paper is to propose a model for noncooperation
among a number of divisions in an organization and using risk management factors.
