Invoking indexes of telecommunication and internet duplicated by ITU and UNESCO. First of all kinds of development in some selected countries was take into account and then comparison was made between Iran and other countries which have the same position as Iran. The results showed that America, Europe, and East Asia are fundamentally more successful in ICT, internet and telecommunication as opposed of developing countries.

The investigation of relationship between political and administrative subsystems in the 'supreme model' of governance during history of humankind contribute to designing and modeling of better models of governance and administration.

The present study seeks to investigate and describe the appropriate relationship between elected and appointed officials in the truth-centered government. The main question of this study is concerned with the way these two subsystems in Alavian truth-centered government interact with each other and researchers focus on identifying this interaction.To extract a good model based upon Nahjolbalagha, as the main text of this research, and bring forth the dominant criteria of the truth-centered government, the researchers enjoyed both content analysis and logical analytical methods. These two methods helped to categorize the main points of the text and collect them in a logical construction. The final logical model consists of 29 statements based upon five axioms of truth-centered approach government. Finally, it is concluded from this research that in the truth-centered government all of these interactions are interwoven and harmonized supporting principal goals of government rather than it’s the subsystems or social actors’ goals, while they are sub-optimized.

During recent decades, researchers have attempted to understand individual and group level behavior, at micro levels while macro level researchers studied organizational and institutional level behavior. Yet few scholars have examined organizational effects on individual and group behavior and the effects of individual and group behavior on organization as a whole. Such a research can lead to a new vision in organization and management studies and make it easy to a better understanding of human organizations and communities. This article introduces multilevel approach which combines micro and macro approaches and establishes a more comprehensive knowledge of organizations. First, it reviews the problem of “level of analysis” in organizational and management theories. Then, the application of multilevel approach is shown by presenting an example. Finally the article discusses the barriers and benefits of this approach in the process of building and developing organization and management theories.
