Having an integrated model of change management can simplify the inherent complexity of change by recognizing the relation between critical elements. Because of dynamic nature of variables and their interaction, developing a static model is not useful. This study tries to generate a new method for constructing a dynamic organizational change model in four steps with combining qualitative methods (content analysis and Delphi technique) and artificial neural networks (Fuzzy theory and genetic algorithm). In addition, by governing restrictions of various conditions, a road map is provided for managers to leading change. After recognizing and screening variables by qualitative methods, due to the complexity and scale of the problem the initial model is built with fuzzy theory and genetic algorithms are used for more accuracy. For governing restrictions and finding acceptable amount of variables to have a successful change program, genetic algorithm is used.

Strategic collaboration between business partners is one of the most important factor that could affect business performance positively. It could reduce environmental uncertainties and consequently optimize operational costs. The objective of this paper is to uncover the behavior of the collaborative supply chain based on a dynamic model. This model ran by Vensim DSS software. The results of the simulation confirm that the collaborative model, in both certain and uncertain modes of demand, lead to reduction in inventories and oscillation through the whole supply chain.

This paper offers and tests a model that make better perception from the impacts of strategic leadership according to determining strategic direction, exploiting and maintaining core competencies, developing human capital, sustaining an effective corporate culture, emphasizing ethical practices, and establishing strategic control on employees job engagement(vigor, dedication, absorption) regarding to mediation effect of organizational identity. Interested population of this research is experts and managers of Khorasan Regional Electricity Company that are 124 people sample. With analytical-survey methodology approach, we use a questionnaire and analyze data by structural equation modeling (SEM) method. Results reveal that strategic leadership directly influence on organizational identity and employees job engagement moreover organizational identity mediate strategic leadership effect on job engagement.

This research studies the relationship between customer knowledge management and dynamic capabilities. Since customer knowledge management is playing a pivotal role in competitive environments, and also considering companies endeavor to reach sustainable competitive advantage that studying these two concepts, dynamic capabilities and customer knowledge management, therefore studying the relationship between customer knowledge management and dynamic capabilities is the main idea of this research. To do so, 16 hypotheses were proposed and tested. Results of tests confirmed positive and significant relationship between 5 hypotheses out of 16 at the significance level of 95% including: "the relationship between customer knowledge management and sensing dimension of dynamic capabilities", the relationship between knowledge about customer dimension of customer knowledge management and dynamic capabilities", "the relationship between knowledge about customer dimension of customer knowledge management and sensing dimension of dynamic capabilities", the relationship between knowledge about customer dimension of customer knowledge management and seizing dimension of dynamic capabilities", and finally "the relationship between knowledge from customer dimension of customer knowledge management and sensing dimension of dynamic capabilities". This research has been conducted in Barid Smaneh Novin, one of the leader companies in IT industry of Iran. This company is continuously facing many challenges because of high-frequency of environmental uncertainties and customers' freedom of choice.

Company managers, with different motives, try to identify the fastest ways to achieve benefit, and to delay the losses and expenses. Conservativeness limits the capability and desire for such an opportunistic behavior of the managers. The Board of directors of company, as a governing institution, having the task of leadership and supervision on the work of executive managers, has a critical role in leading the company to make appropriate decisions, and taking more conservative methods in scheduling identification of benefits. The main objective of this research is analysis of the relationship between percentage of managerial ownership and the level of conservativeness applied in the financial reporting of the companies accepted in Tehran Stock Exchange. The statistical sample of research consists of 111 companies of the companies accepted in Tehran Stock Exchange, and the research period is 2005 to 2010. Simple linear regression was used to test the research hypotheses, and the results showed a meaningful positive relationship between Managerial Ownership and Accounting Conservativeness, and also showed no meaningful relationship between free float and accounting conservativeness.

In this paper, the acquisition of key competencies with a case study on influential factors of strategic information systems Statistical Society consisting of faculty members and experts of Groups of Institute for Research and Planning in Higher Education have been studied. To collect data of theoretical factors and mining primary indicators of library and internet resources, including books, articles and case studies. For collecting required data had been used of a questionnaire that the validity of questions is approved by experts and Authorities In the reliability test, Cranach's alpha was calculated for questions related dependent variable 0. 745 and for inquiries 0. 821. The research results indicate that factors affecting derived from establishment Strategic Information System motivated by research findings, evaluation of effectiveness, research needs assessment well managed leads to key competencies of institution and this result has been approved.

Users Perceptions is one of the factors influencing new Technology acceptance and usage. This study has been focused on factors like Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Trust & Perceived Risk to determine how this factors influencing Mobile-Banking using. So this study’ s statistic populations have been considered all of students of Tehran Universities. Necessary data collected from 402 samples that elected with nonprobability sampling method via 36-question questioner. In order to examine hypothesizes, Structural Equation Modeling (Lisrel Software) is used. Result demonstrated that Perceived Usefulness & Perceived Trust have impact on mobile-banking usage. So we recommend to mobile banking service providers that focus on Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Trust increasing to attract more users.
