Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the impact of Information Technology on employment using fuzzy rule-based systems. The reason for discussing occupation/employment is related to high rate of unemployment in Iran. In this regard, it was expected that information technologies could provide new jobs for educated job seekers. Fuzzy logic has been adopted in this research due to the linguistic, qualitative nature of the assessment indicators of strategies. The conceptual model of research revealed that information technology plays a dual role in job creation. In the short term, the information technology reduced the employment, however in the long time, increased the employment. In order to achieve the goal of strategy choices with the logic close to human intelligence, an 8-step process was proposed and designed. The results of fuzzy inference, indicated a better compliance with the existing realities as well as systems of human thought and the feasibility of available strategies to researcher- something not existed in the classical methods of strategy assessment.
