Recent studies put emphasis on the structure of expert’s characteristics in the effectiveness of scanning the strategic environment in national level. In the same vein, this paper aims to prioritise characteristics for experts of scanning network to better recognize strategic challenges in each STEEP factor. In this applied research, 34 questionnaires are gathered from professors and experts of strategic management; data analysis is conducted by means of Friedman Test and SPSS software and the results show five high-priority characteristics for expert network in each environmental factor of STEEP. Consequently, top priority in each area is as follows according to the results: Society (Futurist), Technology (Scientists and Researchers), Economy (Government economic executives), Politics (Politicians), Environment (Ecologists and Researchers), Military and Security (senior military commanders). Finally, this research answers a practical question in expert network method for environmental scanning.

The ongoing age is characterized by the fast-growing science and technology, severe competition and development of knowledge-based products. In this age, knowledge management as an inevitable, reliable and dynamic path could play a strategic leadership role in such a way that the role in the National Treasury, due to presence in all aspects of management and execution, finds a high significance. Accordingly, this paper examines the impact of sharing knowledge on promoting the National Treasury's performance to identify the factors which lead to better performance of the motioned organization. Doing so, it selects the Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs (the Deputy of State Treasury and Financial Supervision), uses Simple Random Sampling and then gathers Data through questionnaire and survey. The results brought out by Descriptive Statistics and Binominal Test endorse the main and peripheral hypotheses. Eventually, it could be concluded that by sharing knowledge and using personal, organizational, technological and managerial factors, a better performance could be expected from the National Treasury.

One of the manifestations of the acceptance of science and technology importance approach and its direct impact on economic, social and cultural development is paying attention to commercializing research results and innovations. But what this study has noted are humanity science and software technologies that have received less attention in literature so far and this is why the researchers have used "fourth generation university" expression. The present study is a quantitative - qualitative research which is conducted through survey methods; the population of is made up of expert masters who collaborate with the science and technology parks and incubators of technology-based universities in Mazandaran province. The results of interviews with incubators' active members and knowledge-based companies along with factor analysis of data indicate that the main components of commercialization of fourth-generation academic research, are: higher education management, research-oriented human resources, technical university, non-technical university (humanity sciences majors), information systems, incubators, research generative companies, science and technology parks, knowledge-based companies, research and technology institutes, government forces, economic forces and market, customer and customer-orientedness, competition and competitiveness, technological developments, rules and regulations, and investment funds. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis also suggest that estimates of all factors are significant at the level of 0/001. The greatest factor loading (0/75) is for research spin-off companies and the smallest one is for the information systems.

The study of discourse analysis on the world media in order to discover the explicit and implicit meanings in sayings and not-sayings, is one of the most important qualitative analysis methods to better know the media approaches. Accordingly, this article aims at presenting a strategic model for the National TV based on "the Discourse Analysis of Velayat-e-Faqih". Doing so, it uses discourse analysis upon the approach of Laclau and Moffe which besides recognizing the nodal point, floating signifier, elements, moments, opposition, dislocation, challenge, rival discourse and dominion, seeks to explain each one of the leaders’ approaches and discourse elements. This essay deals with "Velayat-e-Faqih" discourse on three main pivots namely the doctrine, goals and policies. In the doctrine segment under the themes "monotheistic system, elevating the public culture and the public university of observance, "; in the goals segment under "realization of Islamic-Iranian civilization, cultural supremacy, elevating the soft power of the country, directing and guiding people, realization of religious democracy, opposing the cultural invasion, adding up to the social capital and audience’s confidence, directing the society towards goodness and expediency, etc.", and in the policies under "media diplomacy, cultural independence, maintaining national identity, independence, freedom, knowing the enemy and mental security, spiritual jubilation, etc.", this paper explains the strategic model of the National TV based on the mentioned discourse.

Geopolitical factors are all the ones which, in the frame of geography, politics and power, affect the defensive strategy of the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) in the face of security-military threats. Geopolitical factors, based on the related studies, are stratified into 7 classes (environment, human, economy, military, politics, culture, science and technology). In the midst, this paper just deals with the politico-economic ones in a mixed case-based method in such a way that it falls in the type of applied-developmental studies. Doing so, it gathers data in the field and on desk and makes up a population of 73 persons; then, to pursue the theme of the study, it analyses the data upon Expertise Analysis. In this paper, Iraq is neither the enemy nor threat against the IRI, but the main foes are the trans-regional powers such as USA and Takfir-terrorist groups which threaten Iran through space and geography of Iraq. Following, the outcome of the study indicates that 26 politico-economic geopolitical factors in the frame of reinvigorating, opportunity-making, weakening and threatening bedrock pose impact on the IRI security-defense strategy out of which 5 ones are of no role. Following, subsequent to the calculation of the strategic position of Iran, it is revealed that IRI places in a competitive posture in the field of economy and politics.

This study mainly deals with the lack of a strategic model for maintenance and promotion of Islamic identity. In the same vein, it mainly pursues access to maintenance and promotion of a strategic model for Islamic-Iranian identity by developing experiences of Islamic Republic of Iran's system. This paper exploits qualitative research, discourse analysis and content analysis on the statements of Velayat-e-Faqih and interprets the constitution; then, it extracts three strategic pivots from the mentioned statements and after standardization, it evaluates them through questionnaire asked from the sample expert society. Following, the results are analyzed by means of SPSS software and the severity of linkage among strategic pivots including doctrine, policies and goals is evaluated in 4 aspects: policy, culture, society and economy. The average of significance and impact of elements and indices in de facto and future situation in relation to the subject of the study is shown in the table of gap analysis. Finally, it, in light of grounded theory, develops five pivotal theories out of the statements of Velayat-e-Faqih as the directing pillars in order to reach the favorite model.
