The Compass of Survival: Management Accounting Practices as Maps of Resilience in Lebanese Service and Manufacturing SMEs during the 2019–2025 Crisis
(2025) Angie Vartan Kirejian
Since 2019, Lebanese small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have operated under continuous economic and institutional turbulence, creating persistent challenges for managerial decision-making and organizational survival. This study explores how service and manufacturing SMEs perceived and used Management Accounting Practices (MAPs) during the 2019–2025 crisis period, and how these practices supported organizational resilience across different industry contexts. A comparative multiple-case qualitative design was employed, drawing on twelve semi-structured interviews with SME decision-makers and key personnel. Data were analyzed through reflexive thematic analysis, followed by cross-case synthesis to identify shared and industry specific patterns. The findings showed that MAPs served three interrelated functions. First, they supported short-term operational continuity and financial stability through cash-flow monitoring and cost control. Second, MAPs enabled strategic and adaptive responses through informal scenario assessments and lightweight digitization. Third, they were used to signal credibility to external stakeholders in a context of institutional distrust. The industry context shaped the relative emphasis placed on each role. By providing empirical evidence from a prolonged crisis environment, the study offers practical insights for managers and policymakers seeking to strengthen organizational resilience in highly unstable settings.
Perception of The Adoption of Artificial Intelligence Tools on Audit Quality in the Lebanese Private Sector: A Perspective from Internal Auditors
(2025) Sally Said Bakir Agha
This thesis investigates the factors influencing internal auditors’ adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in the Lebanese audit sector, with a particular emphasis on the mediating role of perceived audit quality (AQ). Grounded in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the study examines how perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEOU) affect auditors’ behavioral intention (BI) to adopt AI, both directly and indirectly through AQ. Data were collected via a structured survey distributed to 300 internal auditors, yielding 100 valid responses from professionals with work/experience in AI auditing. The analysis employed PROCESS Model 4 for mediation, controlling demographic and contextual variables. The findings reveal that both PU and PEOU are positively associated with BI, but these effects are fully mediated by AQ: auditors are only likely to adopt AI tools when they perceive tangible improvements in audit quality. While the mediation effect for PU was statistically significant, its magnitude was modest, indicating a cautious interpretation is warranted. The results underscore the importance of audit quality as the decisive mechanism linking technology perceptions to adoption intention, differing from studies in other contexts where direct effects of PU and PEOU are often reported. The thesis contributes to the literature by highlighting the centrality of AQ in technology acceptance among auditors and by providing region-specific insights relevant for emerging markets. Practical recommendations for audit firms, technology developers, and policymakers are offered, emphasizing the need to demonstrate quality improvements to drive effective AI adoption in the auditing profession.
Փաստը որպէս դրամատիկական հիմք Ուիլիըմ Սարոյեանի «Հայկական եռագրութիւն» թատերախաղերում

In 1986, five years after the death of William Saroyan, "Armenian Trilogy" ("Armenians" (1971), "Bitlis" (1975) and "Haraj" (1979) was taken from Saroyan's manuscripts and published by the efforts of Prof. Dickran Kouymjian. These were translated into Armenian and published in 2008. These plays are a revelation in the literary heritage of Saroyan not only in terms of open and quite bold statements concerning Armenian identity and the Armenian question but also in terms of form and structure. Saroyan called these plays "plays about Armenians".
In determining the genre of these plays, the author observes them in the post-modern context and highlights distinctive features of contemporary documentary drama in the plays. The author notes that in staging these plays directors may need to make use of features of documentary theater.
Լեւոն Շանթի «Հին աստուածներ»ը եւ եւրոպական թատերգութիւնը
(2017) Վաչագան Գրիգորեան
The author analyzes why Levon Shant's play, Hin Asdvadzner (Old Gods), written in the early 20th century, bought him unexpectable fame and appreciation.
He argues that the play was an absolute novelty in every sense of the word, compared to past and contemporary Armenian plays. The author notes that the innovations which characterised the play were not inspired by the legacy of Armenian plays and must have had a different source.
Accordingly, Grigoryan explores the plays of a number of leading European playwrights of the late 19th and early 20th century, including Henrik Ibsen, Knut Hamsun, Gerhart Hauptmann, Moris Meterlink, and Johan Strindberg. He compares the features of their plays and finds similarities between some of their features and those of Shant's Hin Asdvadzner.
Հայոց ցեղասպանութեան եւ վերապրումի թեման Դերենիկ Դեմիրճեանի ստեղծագործութիւններում

Derenik Demirchyan has always been solicitous of the Armenian people's fate and has written about it. WWI and the Armenian Genocide have not been an exception. Indeed, these have been reflected in Demirchyan's literary works, though the geography and chronology of the said catastrophes are not often clearly defined.
The study highlights Demirchyan's works which speak about the tragedy and its consequences. The author names the specific stories where Demirchyan emphasized these tragedies: "Avelorte" (The Redundant), "Jepite" (The Smile), "Asttso Tane" (In the House of God), and "Girk Tzaghkants" (the Book of Flowers).
The author notes that Demirchyan touched upon the subject prior to the Sovietization of Armenia and after the 1950s, as in the essay "The Armenian" (written in the 1920s) and the unfinished note called "Reflections on the Nagorno Karabakh and Nakhichevan issues" (written in the 1950s). In these two essays, Demirchyan more or less overtly speaks about the Armenian Genocide, without using the G word. He describes the catastrophe as a bloody conflict, massacre and depopulation.
In this publication we have made an attempt to reveal a few manifestations reflected in his works.
