This paper aims to study the leadership model, originated from the Quantum Leadership paradigm, in knowledge-based companies in the ecosystem of the Islamic Republic of Iran. For this purpose, library studies, profound interviews, observation and questionnaires are used as research tools. Whereas the most important research tool to achieve the research objectives was interviewing the experts dominating it, so qualitative method of data-base theory was used. This process was continued until realizing the “theoretical sufficiency” of interest in data-based method and stopping the interviews was specified with this criterion. Among 15 unfinished and profound interviews, overall 411 key points with indicator codes were specified. These points were conceptualized as abstractive concepts. Explaining and communicating among concepts will form them as items. Output of the mentioned coding resulted in answering the research questions and providing the research model in the form of 24 sub-items, 6 main items and 5 theoretical theorems.

Aim of current research is to investigate the effect of innovation strategy on innovative performance of organizations for Knowledge-based companies of biotechnology area.

Taking the main question of the research into account that what the components and dimensions of the pattern of the Jihadi organization in industry sector are, the researcher extracted components of a Jihadi organization and then the extracted conceptual model obtained during the interviews had been inspected and confirmed in focal group meetings. Therefore, it is possible to study a Jihadi organization using four main sections including the foundation of Jihadi organization that contains Jihadi values, Jihadi morale and Jihadi work. This section is regarded as the dominant spirit in organization and performs an important role in formation and distinction of the organization versus others. Other sections of organization should have these features and Jihadi culture. Second section is the production elements which include five items such as human capital, policy making in production, production process and infrastructure, capital and raw material. The third section is Jihadi leadership in organizing things in which the main factors of production would end in goals and ideals under this leadership and organization. The fourth section includes goals and ideals of Jihadi organization in which these organizations are making effort to reach them. In each section, the distinctive aspects of Jihadi organization are inspected and they are compared to other organizations.

In the years after the Revolution Victory, different approaches were formed among the professors and experts of the Mahdaviyyat field, which formed certain scientific context; and with regard to Islamic Revolution civilization orientation, each of these Mahdavi approaches can gain their specific capacities to realize this civilization. One of these approaches was the “foresighted and strategic” one to Mahdaviyyat which was presented by some experts of Mahdaviyyat field. This paper, which is a descriptive-detective research, aims to answer this question: what is the foresighted and strategic approach to the Mahdaviyyat and how much capacity dose it has to realize the Islamic civilization? For this purpose, in the first section for scientific introduction of this approach, a curriculum vitae (CV) with a defined framework, which was lent from “Samaniyeh Topics” of the science of logic, was used; and then in the second section, for capacity identification of civilization, after profound interviewing with the experts of this approach, using qualitative method of Thematic Analysis, in the form of three contents “descriptive”, “interpretative” and “integrating”; and using the software Maxqda, was coded and analyzed. According to findings and information resulted from Thematic Analysis, it was finally specified that the greatest civilization capacity of foresighted and strategic approaches will appear in the “scientific and technological”, “social”, “political and legal”, “spiritual and devotional acts”, “educative and moral”, “cultural and artistic”, “communicative” and “economic” regimes, respectively based upon priority, to move toward the civilization of reappearance (the new Islamic civilization).

Invulnerability conception suggests the ability of promotion and improvement in the stressful and squally conditions. Indeed, invulnerability shows that when organizations face stressful factors, resistance is not sufficient alone. In these situations, organizations must not only maintain their structures, but also can improve and promote their conditions by learning from stressful factors in long term. If an organization can’t identify stressful factors timely and can’t remedy them, it will be defeated in weak parts and its structure will be lost. In this research, Qom Electrofan Company was evaluated in terms of invulnerability. To that end, the primary framework has been achieved by comprehensive review of literature and the studies carried out about invulnerabilities of different organizations; and experts, by holding sessions, and have extracted and supported the invulnerability criteria, and by the Gray-Dematel method the interaction of criteria was examined and the importance of each criterion is characterized through the process of network analysis. According to the results attained by research, learning by controlled risk can be introduced as the most effective sub-criterion of learning to make organizations invulnerable.
