The present study is descriptive-survey research concerning the aim, field of application and method with the validity of the gathered data nature. The population of the study includes 187 high and middle ranking. In this research, all of the population members were accessible and consequently the method of the research was complete enumeration. The stability of the questionnaire measured by alpha is 0. 824. Analysis of the data was performed by the use of SWOT, IE, EFE and IFE matrixes. Findings show that the organization is relatively weak in the process of human resources management inside the organization and also is faced with relative threats outside the organization. So it is necessary for the organization to avoid the threats of outside and also to resolve the weaknesses inside the organization and to change it to the power of the organization. The organization also should direct its current position of human resources maintenance to aggressive strategy (SO) in its future plans.

Today’ s competitive environment has created a lot of interest toward organizational dynamics and production flexibility. However, despite knowing the potential benefits of these two concepts, practitioners and researchers do not have a good understanding of the relationship between them. As such, the present paper seeks to understand these complex concepts and the way they influence each other. In this research, the textual content analysis method was used for fully understanding the components of organizational dynamics and production flexibility along with investigating previous studies; next, the authorities of the field were consulted for adding to the richness of the method. Finally, 6 organizational dynamic abilities and 14 production flexibility aspects were extracted from previous studies. Next, the influence of these components on one another was measured using the fuzzy dematel method and the views of the authorities of the field. Results of the analysis indicate that the most influential organizational dynamics abilities are: creating and integrating knowledge, understanding and reconfiguring opportunities and managing threats; meanwhile, the most impressible aspects of production flexibility are: new products, operations, and production. In addition, results of the analysis indicate the large influence of organizational dynamic capabilities on the aspects of production flexibility.

The purpose of this research is to identify the effective factors of multilevel performance management of the Applied Higher Education Institution of Applied Water and Power industry which are based on a balanced scorecard. The present research is applicable to the purpose. Type of research is developmental-applied and it is done by exploratory blend method. The information gathering tool is library and documentary studies. The statistical population of the research includes experts in various fields of the institute who have at least 5 years of management experience and the have a senior master’ s degree. By using a targeted and judgmental sampling method, an interview was conducted with experts from the statistical community, After 15 interviews with experts on the subject of research, theoretical saturation was obtained. The results of the interview were analyzed by the three-step coding method. Finally, at the end of this research the effective factors on performance management were identified and presented at three levels: individual, group, and organizational levels in the form of four dimensions of the balanced scorecard.

Researchers have paid more attention in recent years on the different dimensions of consumption consequences and the need to pay attention to patterns of consumption consistent with sustainability. One of the concepts in this regard is the concept of mindful consumption that focuses on sustainability based on consumer behavior. The purpose of this study is to identify the dimensions of mindful consumption. The present study has a qualitative approach based on Grounded theory method. data collection is done by depth interviews with the researchers and university professors in the fields of business management, sociology, psychology and economics. participants have been selected through purposive sampling and eventually, 22 interviews were conducted and data were analyzed using principles related to grounded theory (open and selective coding, continuous comparative analysis, creating concepts, and categories). The results of data coding have led to the identification of 16 concepts that were categorized into 2 categories. Accordingly, the dimensions of mindful consumption include mindful mindset and mindful behavior.

Most developed countries have utilized tax incentive policies for balancing the growth of their macroeconmies since the beginning of their development process. This study has sought to examine the extent of the influence of this policy on the macroeconomy. Taxation on the income of companies is the most prominent tax that influences macroeconomic variables through investment costs and investment level. This study introduces svariables like average tax rate around provinces and Bartik shock as an index for work force demand, and reports an investigation into the role of tax policies like tax exemptions and reliefs on the provincial macroeconomic variables such as company growth, per capita wage rate, house rent rate, and unemployment rate as four different models between 1381 to 1395 using the panel data algorithm. Based on the findings of this study, tax incentives in the form of reduction in the average tax rate in provinces positively influenced the company growth and per capita wage rate but it had no significant effect on the house rents and unemployment rate. This implies that the tax incentive policy has not been able to achieve its goals such as decreasing the unemployment and enhancing the economic conditions in the provinces. The implementation of incentive policies in taxes have not provided the required motivations for the absorbing the investment and convincing the investors for the reestablishment of their corporates in underdeveloped areas with less tax rates. It is recommended to allocate the freed resources form reforming the taxation regulations and decreasing the tax incentives to promote more motivation for production and employment in the underprivileged regions.

The purpose of this study is to find the Patterns of brand dependence on consumer behavior with brand preferences. The research method used in this research is a kind of exploratory blend type, quantitatively and qualitatively. The technique used for collecting information and analyzing data was used in the fuzzy qualitative method based on the theory of data and in the bag phase, the modeling method of equations structures was used to measure the modeling of the model. In this study, to design and present the pattern using exploratory mixtures in the first stage, using 15 experts and specialists and adapting the study resources, modeling framework and validation, then in the second stage of the research, proposed model and structure The goal of the community was tested with 384 results, which confirmed the hypothesis of the research. In order to identify and solve the problem, open source, axial and selective coding, dimensions, mules and indicators were determined, then the relationships between the variables were determined and at the end, validation and adaptation patterns were performed. Based on the results, establishing affiliation and brand preferences can have a significant impact on brand value, and brand equity also affects the quality of service received.
