This research analyses the influence of employees collaboration in strategic planning practices on their opinions of SHRM issues. Initially, we identify the essential subjects of shrm. Then we classify the most suitable alternatives for each subject comparing with the strategic plan of this company and ask the staff to prioritize these alternatives. The staff belong on two control and examination group. The examination group consists of people who had participated in meetings of strategic planning and strategy cascading. In contrast, the people of control group had not participated in these meetings. The statistical results confirm that the subjects which have been brought up in strategy meetings explicitly, have changed the personnel Perception. But the subjects which have been brought up implicitly and there was not any conclusion about them, cannot influence the perspective of staff.

Economists persist on advantage concept in national level and international trade among countries. Their field of study does not include corporations and industry arguments. Porter firstly tried to link separated all studied unites, by means corporation, industry and nation altogether as a corresponding totality. This article attempts to this issue that if Porter's model is successful in this field. Accordingly, indicated model in government economies like Iran's economy is analyzed to clarify this point that if it is a successful model. Furthermore, "what are Iran's petroleum industry making advantages factors" can be argued. Hence, the main objective of this article is to present an adequate Porter's test model for making advantages competition resources in Iran's petroleum industry.

The purpose of this article is to develop a process model of robust strategy by using Interpretive structural modeling. Robust strategies are capable of performing well in a variety of possible future environments. This process model is combination of other techniques. The techniques are obust ecision making takeholder Analysis A, Assumption ased Planning A P, Failure ode and Effect Analysis F EA, Fault Tree Analysis FTA , Potential Problem analysis PPA, olution Effect analysis EA, Change Impact Analysis, ncertainty ensitive Analysis P, and cenario based planning P. Critical comparative review of techniques demonstrated that these techniques are not complete, but provide a good starting point. In this article, these techniques were combined together in a systematic manner by using Interpretive tructural odeling. The resultant prescriptive process model of robust strategy has sub processes. The sequence of sub processes was specified and also the input, output, and feedback of each of them were obtained.

The purpose of this study is reviews the role of brand value creation in strategic and long term relationships of supplier and reseller as key elements of network business.

owadays achievement of continuous improvement and e cellence has a particular influence on every dimensions of organization. In this respect, the EF model assists organizations in movement towards e cellence.

Also, other outcomes include reduction of gap between manager and employees creation of a suitable atmosphere for the development of effective and coordinated relationship between managers and employees prioritization of manager's performance indicators based on employees' point of view and development of the EF model.

Improvement in uality services has increasingly importance because of its role in increasing customer satisfaction and profitability of organizations. In this study tried we want to present indicators to measure the quality of banking services and then determine the priority of indicators for improvement. By this method banks to be able to achieve to their goals including increase customer satisfaction and profitability. The population of this study is country's banking customers. This study used independent compare mean of two population test and confirmatory factor analysis. For determining the priority action IPA method is used to improve indicators and answer research question. In addition to the introduction of indicators to measure quality of customer services, the results showed that of the indicators for measuring quality of customer service have priority of action for improvement and banks should be take required practices to improve them.
