The world in general and the sharing of data in particular becomes more and more digital each day. And the need for information increases, as well as the number of people who use data for their processes. These developments require an open, transparent and easy to use mechanism in order to make sure that everybody „speaks the same language‟. XBRL provides this mechanism. The objective of this research is to investigate the perspectives of faculty members in Jordanian Universities on the benefits and obstacles that may be generated from the adoption of XBRL in the future in Jordanian organizations and business sector. Our results show that, according to the academic„s perspectives, several benefits and advantages of the adoption of the XBRL such as facilitating comparison, communication, and analysis of financial reports, transparency, quality, and reduce the cost of producing financial reports, company‟s technological reputation, supporting research and consultation, compatibility with other accounting applications, communication with regulatory authorities, and strengthening the value of information. However, more practically, we also look at the negative part of online financial reports. Problems arise when adopting XBRL, several obstacles and trend on implementing XBRL are also estimated, such as the lack of experts in the field of XBRL appears to be the main stumbling block to

ommercialization of university research is a contentious and prominent issue in tertiary education. This paper will elaborate on the commercialization and innovation strategies pursued by Canada and the United Kingdom with respect to their research funding structures and their focus innovation systems, both regional and national. Over the last two decades, these two countries introduced neo-liberal funding agendas for the state as well as for higher education while offering incentives to stimulate commercialization activities. These countries ' policies and programs have targeted Universities to help propel their economic performance, prosperity, and standard of living.

In recent years, neural networks have received an increasing amount of attention among macroeconomic forecasters because of their potential to detect and reproduce.linear and nonlinear relationships among a set of variables. Many attempts to apply ANN as a forecasting tool has been successful. This paper highlighted the application of Neural Network in economic forecasting. Back propagation neural Network are used to forecast the approximated time in years for a specified input cost or benefits. Different types of benefits and coasts are used in the training and testing phase. A better understanding of neural networks will help economists decide on the relevance of using these models. A forecast is a prediction concerning the future. Good forecasting will reduce, but not eliminate, the uncertainty that all managers feel. Both public and private enterprises operate under conditions of uncertainty. Management wishes to limit this uncertainty by predicting changes in cost, price, sales, and interest rates. Accurate forecasting can
