Abstract

Today, in the competitive global economy, evaluating the financial performance of companies is very important not only for current and potential managers, creditors, and investors but also for companies operating in a sector. Evaluating the financial performance of companies is very important not only for current and potential managers, creditors and investors but also for companies active in a sector. The purpose of this research was to identify and prioritize the key factors affecting the company's financial performance. Therefore, by using the Fuzzy Dematel approach and gathering the opinions of experts with a pairwise comparison questionnaire, the relationship between the indicators affecting the enterprise's financial performance has been discussed. The results showed Asset Management (WCC) has the most Prominence and interaction with other criteria and since $(D_i-R_i)$ is negative for this factor, so this criterion is a net effect. Asset Management (OE) after Asset Management (WCC) has the most interaction with other criteria and since $(D_i-R_i)$ is negative for this factor, so this criterion is a net effect. The income statement is net cause for $(D_i-R_i)$ is positive for this factor.
