Some writers believe that strategic management in the public sector is being overrun by the private sector-and that is why public agencies are facing challenges in their path to deployment. The purpose of this paper is to present a model to assist leaders and managers of public agencies in assessing the strategic management maturity of their organization. In this study, while referring to the differences between strategic management in the public and private sectors, different maturity models have been investigated and maturity models of the focus area have been selected to fulfill the purpose of the present study. To construct the model we used interpretive structural modeling and the required data were provided by library studies, thematic analysis, and consensus group technique, and the sampling was non-probabilistically objective and judicious by using snowball technique. Thus, the maturity matrix is designed from twelve focus areas, thirty-six capabilities, and twelve maturity levels, and finally, its usefulness and applicability have been demonstrated through survey.

The electronic business strategy is the center of all electronic business activities and the success of electronic business begins with its strategy. In this paper, we identify and prioritizing the key success factors in strategic planning in the electronics business in Iran. Using the literature, we found and categories the factors affecting e-business success, which include this factor: management, human resources, organizational structure and culture, strategy, technology, design, customers, suppliers, macroeconomics, government, market and the cultural and social. The statistical sample of this study, 384 people of faculty and expert in the field of management and e-commerce managers were selected. By questionnaire necessary data collected. For analyzing the collected data SPSS and Lisrel software was used. The results show that three factors include: management, technology and customer, have the greatest impact and social and cultural factors have the less impact on e-business strategic planning, and macroeconomic factor has no impact in on it.

Objective: Clinical errors reduce patient's safety, damage their health and even can be cause of death. On the other hand, it leads to the loss of the physician’ s image and hospital's brand. According to the World Health Organization’ s report, medical errors are the eighth cause of people death. Having an appropriate clinical risk management system as a systematic tool is crucial for minimizing errors and preventing systematic errors. It requires identifying the systemic structure of the problematic behavior generator as well as finding efficient improvement policies. Methods: The present research focuses on identifying the systemic structure affecting the occurrence of clinical errors in hospitals with System Dynamics approach. Based on this methodology, after mapping the system structure, feedback loops are represented. Also, by presenting a simulation model, it is possible to have a model-based assessment of management policies. Results: The results show that management policies such as implementing Electronic Health Record and clinical governance and also creation patient safety culture have a significant effect on reducing clinical errors. Among them, the promoting patient safety culture is introduced as the most effective policy. Conclusion: In Iran’ s health system, despite the growth of health infrastructure and new improvement policies, medical errors continue to increase with increasing trends, and this has become one of the important issues of health policy makers. Infrastructure development and efforts to improve performance indicators without having a systemic insight of the problem will not reduce clinical errors in hospitals and health centers.

Identification of effective factors on brand performance is considered as an important issue in strategic marketing decisions. According to the findings, brand motivates brand identity development. Brand identity plays an important role in implementing a brand-oriented strategy and improving business performance. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of brand orientation strategy on brand performance with emphasis on the mediation role of brand identity in Tehran's food industry Companies. The research method is descriptive-correlational. The research community was senior managers of Tehran's Food Industry Companies which included 100 people. In this research, random sampling method was used, 168 managers were selected as sample. Data were collected through a standard questionnaire 17 questions from 168 managers in 168 active companies in the food industry that their office is in Tehran province. The validity of the research questionnaire was confirmed by the experts and the reliability of the questionnaires was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient with a value of 0. 924. The conceptual model was designed with five variables and 8 hypotheses. Descriptive statistics were analyzed by SPSS software and SMART-PLS2 software was used to test the hypothes. The results of the research, including path coefficients between variables and the significance of t (β = 0. 642 t = 12. 514) and spearman's significance level, were 0. 000 (less than 0. 05) in this relation, which indicates that there is a significant relationship between brand-oriented strategy and brand performance, and the analysis of the intermediary of brand identity in this relation has been confirmed.

In a changing environment, the strategic learning approach can enable knowledge-based companies to quickly identify market changes and focus on emerging opportunities. Therefore, this study purpose is providing a model for identifying the the concept, causes and consequences of strategic learning and then that quantitative analysis and validation. In this study, using of grounded theory qualitative method, 15 experts of knowledge based companies selected by Snowball sampling and semi-structured interviews held with them. Data were categorized into 52 concepts, 8 sub components and 4 main components, after analysis. The main constructs includes organizational factors, environmental factors, main phenomenon and outcomes. Then, based on the process model and propositions that obtained from the first stage, the research hypotheses formulated and tested quantitatively among these companies personnel. In the quantitative part of research, the results indicate that both the model validation and the organizational and environmental factors have a positive and significant effect on strategic learning. Moreover, strategic learning has a positive and significant effect on outcomes including strategic agility, development of dynamic capabilities, underlying cause of change, performance improvement and sales growth.

The purpose of the present research is to provide Strategies to improve the quality of work life of employees of public sector. This is a survey study.

of the main issues in the developing countries is the correct management of the exchange rate, so that less or more evaluation than the equilibrium exchange rate causes instability and imbalances in macroeconomics, especially in the field of exports and imports, the general level of prices And financial markets. Hence, economic policymakers are seeking solutions that will enable them to steer the exchange rate in the right direction. The most important of these factors is inflation. this study, the effect of inflation targeting policy on exchange rate management in the selected developing countries during the period 2000-2017 by the method of panel data has been investigated. Experimental results showed that the deviation of inflation from its target rate caused real exchange rate deviations from its equilibrium level. Also, changes in the rate of inflation in the outside world, changes in the nominal exchange rate and current account balance changes lead to a deviation of the exchange rate from its equilibrium level, but the effects of changes in capital flow on the exchange rate deviation from its equilibrium level were not statistically significant. But interactive effects showed that the inflation targeting policy played a significant role in measuring the impact of changes in the nominal exchange rate, domestic inflation and external inflation on real exchange rate deviations from Its balance rate. But this policy leads to a significant reduction in the role of current account and capital account changes in increasing the real exchange rate deviations from its equilibrium level.

Objective: The importance of the correct selection of advanced technology projects, the importance of sustainable development in the strategic plans of the implementing organizations of such projects, the impressive impact of this technology in all aspects, and the improvement of the quality of human life and the high uncertainty in the environment of such projects, the reason is for addressing this research. Methods: By reviewing the literature and research background, prioritizing high technology projects based on human capital criteria, innovation, project business achievement, economic returns, national influence levels and competitive advantage, quality, demand level, reliability and strategic plans, and project costs Was considered. After reviewing the models and prioritization methods and choosing the type of projects, the preferred structure of output-to-scale output efficiency model was selected in the data envelopment analysis approach as the most comprehensive model in this field. By using the fuzzy hierarchy process analysis, the most important criteria were weighted and ranked. Results: As a result of the implementation of the preferred cost-benefit model of output to output-oriented output scale, among the 30 projects of the Nanotechnology Development Specialized Headquarters, 46. 67% of the projects have been identified as the most priority projects and suitable for investment. Conclusion: Projects 19, 28, and 7 were the first to third priorities respectively. The projects in the final priorities can according to the template of the specified reference set, become the first priorities for implementation.
