The problem in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is that the government depends on oil revenues more than on attracting investments, therefore, the importance of this study is constituted by the provision of critical recommendations to policy makers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in order to overcome this issue and improve the investments. In order to achieve the objectives of this study, questionnaires were administered to 194 people representing the study population; a multiple regression (standard regression) was also used to test the study hypotheses. In general, all variables were positively significantly related with the investment decision-making.The findings of this study also showed that the independent variables explained more than 65% of the variance in investment decision-making. The Saudi government and policy makers should issue new regulations to increase the interest in accounting information systems in order to attract the investment.

Rapid growth of automated accounting information systems has resulted in the availability of more accounting information on a more timely basis to support decision-making activities. To best support the needs of decision-makers designers of accounting information systems must present the information in such a way that decision-makers can make effective decisions in an efficient manner. Research has shown that decision-makers' strategies, and thus outcomes, are influenced by the amount of information available for making the decision. Existing studies of the effects of information load on decision-making employ at least two definitions of information load and often examine only accuracy of decisions. This study used signal detection theory to examine the effect of both definitions of information load on decision-makers' consistent application of a decision rule. The study shows that consistency of decisions is a function of the time allowed per cue, not the number of cues available. However, the relationship is not an increasing one, but instead is U-shaped.

This paper describe an approach to optimize the economy of electric vehicles’fast charging station investment with service satisfaction be constraints. An optimized model is proposed to study the relationship between the number of charge devices and economy of investment, which is based on the internal rate of return. Some service index like the queuing time and queuing length based on queuing theory are calculated to make sure the result reasonable and attainable for both investors and customers. At last, an example based on a conventional traffic flow and service intensity is simulated on Matlab to prove the effectiveness of the model.
