Main objective of this paper is to develop a model of R& D performance in base of system dynamic approach and the creation of R& D output in the national innovation system (NIS). The purpose of the model is to simulate R & D output generated in the system of innovation specially in national level. The paper concludes with statistic analysis of model components and remarks relationships between variables affecting R & D measures in NIS.

Supplier selection problem has a multicriteria nature. Sometimes several conflicting criteria with different importance must be considered in this decision, moreover, uncertainty is not avoidable in real cases. In this paper, a fuzzy non-linear multiobjective model is formulated in such a way to handle multicriteria and uncertain nature of supplier selection problem. The model consists of three objective functions that should be solved while satisfying the constraints of supplier's capacity and buyer's demand: 1) minimizing the total cost of logistics (including the net price, storage, transportation, and ordering costs), 2) maximizing the quality and 3) maximizing the service level. In order to solve the proposed model, a fuzzy weighted additive and mixed integer nonlinear programming is developed. The proposed model enables the decision maker to assign different fuzzy weight to various criteria. By assuming total cost of logistics as an objective function, multi-period inventory management issues are considered. A numerical example is developed to clarify how the model can be applied. Finally, the contributions and recommendations for future researches are discussed.

Ethics is one of social capital. If ethics doesn’t find superior position, it may destruct the economics and business at them. Among functional business areas, marketing and sales have been the most criticized functions in ethical frame. After-sales staffs are not under direct continuous supervision; rather, they are under constant pressure to reduce costs and are faced with additional temptations for unethical behavior. Various individual and organizational factors can influence the staff decisions to behave ethically or unethically. One of these determinants is organizational factors that shape business ethical behavior of employees. Organizational factors are reward and punishment system, organizational ethical climate and turnover. Job satisfaction and role conflict was studied as consequences of ethical behavior. To answer the research questions, 165 servicemen of Irankhodro and Saipa agencies were included in the survey and determinants & consequences of ethical behavior were tested using these samples.Result suggests that ethical value, reward and punishment system, organizational ethical climate and turnover are important determinants of ethical behavior. Additionally, a serviceman’s ethical behavior leads to lower levels of role conflict and higher level of job satisfaction.

Use of modern management approaches to improve organizational performance, and increase efficiency of this approach's has been attention by many managers, on the other hand, one of the effectual management methods, has known process oriented management. Therefore, in this study, we try to design a EFQM and Six Sigma process model in order to use these two approaches in government agencies. In this research, introduced two approaches important visibility and management, to provide a model making these two approaches to increase its efficiency has been paid. The passermanagement technique such as fuzzy MADM has been used. Finally, the unit of Yazd Regional Electrical Frim contracts to run the above model has been paid for evaluation and performance measurement model. It should be mentioned, all managers and experts in the research unit have company. The results indicate a significant increase efficiency approaches been used, saving time and money and increasing accuracy are in project implementation. It should be mentioned that this research analysis and survey data collection requirements, information model of organizational performance excellence Hydro Yazd and questionnaire has been used.

Widespread use of Web technology, an opportunity for businesses to provide the Internet as a tool for electronic customer relationship management (e-CRM). Despite the common agreement in e-CRM that directly or indirectly affect the customer satisfaction, but less attention has been paid to important factors determining e-CRM in influencing customer satisfaction and they should be well studied. In this study, we tried to review the system with e-CRM GolsarFars Chinese company, cover these factors, and study the correlation between them. The results of this study in recognition factors determining the way to achieve customer satisfaction by GolsarFars Chinese company, could help the company.

In the recent years, most organization provides citizens with e-services. One of the government and organizations concerns is the issues about lack of trust in this kind of providing service. The more organizations get close to become electronic based, this issue become more important. In this study we assess the role of trust in adoption of e-services and intention to use in the servicing part of police and Police+10 bureaus in Tehran. Based on the provided previous models, the four main effective factors on intention to use are identified as disposition to trust, trust of the government, trust of the Internet and perceived risk. The results and model provided in this study showed that all variants disposition to trust, trust of the government, trust of the Internet and perceived risk will affect the intention to use. We expect that, with results and provided model in this research, many of governmental organizations like Police (Police+10 bureaus) act more successfully to improve the citizens’ trust in government.

Despite various programs, the newly generated employment opportunities do not meet the labour demand of Iran’s economy, so that a large proportion of Iran’s active labour is among the employment seeking groups. This study intends to explore the capacity of the industrial subcategories of Iran’s economy with regard to their roles in generating employment and finally to identify the key sectors of the economy in 2000.The various industrial subcategories due to their massive relations and direct and indirect effects on the other sectors, would have a considerable function in creating employment opportunities.Using the latest input-output table of the year 2000, a merged- 30 sectors- table has been arranged to calculate and order different indexes such as forward and backward linkages, the power of dispersion and the sensitivity of dispersion and the elasticity of employment.The results reveal that the following sectors are among the pioneer sectors in generating employment Manufacture of earring apparel; dressing and dyeing of fur (code18), Manufacture Manufacture of wood and of products of wood and cork, except furniture; manufacture of articles of straw and plaiting materials (code 20), Manufacture of furniture; manufacturing NEC (code 36), Training and dressing of leather; manufacture of luggage, handbags, saddler, harness and footwear (code19), Agriculture (code1, 2, 5), Construction (code45), Manufacture of food products and beverages and tobacco (code15, 16), Manufacture of textiles (code17), Manufacture of office, accounting and computing machinery (code30), Manufacture of chemicals and chemical products (code 24).Also, the following sectors show the highest impact of indirect employment generation: Manufacture of food products and beverages and tobacco (code 15, 16), Manufacture of chemicals and chemical products (code 24), Manufacture of office, accounting and computing machinery (code30), Manufacture of wearing apparel; dressing and dyeing of fur (code18), Manufacture Manufacture of paper and paper products (code 21), Manufacture of furniture; manufacturing NEC (code 36), Manufacture Manufacture of basic iron and metal (code 2710), Manufacture Manufacture of electrical machinery and apparatus NEC (code 31).Regarding the backward and forward linkages, manufacturing of coke, refined petroleum products (code 23) pull and push the least effects in their relation with other sectors.

A model has been proposed by elaborating Daft-Weick model to describe the organizational environmental scanning in a more detailed way. The model is suitable for defense organization. To this end, a new dimension has been added to Daft-Weick model and 8 resulting modes of scanning has been explained. In each mode, information need, information use, information recourse scanning functions, techniques and managerial traits has been discussed. To determine the position of organization in the model, questionnaires have been designed to transform qualitative expert judgments to quantitative values. Organizational position will be determined by this way and means to scanning will be proposed. The model has been implemented in a defense organization and the results have been discussed.

Cultural intelligence is one of the most efficient tools which helps managers perform their tasks more effectively in various cultural environments. This kind of intelligence is a special ability and proficiency which enables the human to perform his/her tasks efficiently in multicultural situations. In this research, the correlation between cultural intelligence (with its four factors) and managers’ task performance is assessed. To examine the cultural intelligence; the standard questionnaire of cultural intelligence was used. Furthermore in the case of manager’s task performance, the questionnaire was used according to Campbell’s partitioning of managers tasks. The statistical universe of this study includes managers and employees of the branches of EN Bank in Tehran. Stratified random sampling method was used to select 30 managers and performance questionnaire was distributed among all personnel of each branch (225 employees). The results show that there is a positive and meaningful correlation between manager’s cultural intelligence and task performance. Especially the correlation between Cultural Quotient (CQ) strategy, CQ cognitive and task performance was meaningful. Also the results indicate that cultural intelligence does not have any significant correlation with manager’s background and educational certificate. When inspecting the correlations between four aspects of cultural intelligence, the results represent that there is a meaningful correlation between CQ strategy and behavior with CQ strategy and motivation. Moreover, it is found out that cultural intelligence directly influences the manager’s task performance which is attributed to CQ cognitive and CQ behavior.
