In this article, the concept of roadmap has been redefined. Many definitions have been put forward by roadmap scientists and these definitions are sometimes similar to each other and in some cases different from one another. While some scientists, like Robert Fall, call it a tool, others like Galvin regard it as an approach. On the other hand, roadmap and strategy, both of which are important strategic issues, are also not very transparent. There is also a difference in the perception of experts in mapping. Differences or deficiencies in the concept of roadmap can lead to inaccurate planning. In this paper, the definitions of scientists as well as the experts’ perceptions are mapped by thematic analysis. The community of experts has been selected for the survey from managers and roadmap experts. According to the results of the analysis, roadmap is an integrated planning tool for strategy realization. In this definition, the concept of roadmap, its relationship to the strategy, and consequently its position in the strategic planning process have been clarified.

One of the characteristics of strategic studies is that its concepts in addition to their cognitive function are a tool for advancing goals and programs related to order, security, and regulating public affairs. Therefore, defining its meaning context and its dimensions and elements are inevitably important to prevent cognitive errors. Issues such as “ social security” , “ public order” , “ socialization of security” , “ community-oriented police” , “ community security” have raised the issue of social participation in strategic studies. Reviewing existing sources indicates that although there are a lot of interests in using this term among researchers of social and strategic studies, little effort has been made to clarify the meaning and define the meaning context of this word. The purpose of this article is to explore the concept of social participation and its related issues in order to compensate for this shortage and to extend the literature in the field. Social participation means the relatively sustained and necessary presence of the constituent elements of society-individuals, groups, communities, institutions and organizations-in processes, affairs, and social activities. Explaining the theoretical foundations of epistemology, axiology, pragmatics, ontology, and explaining the conceptual dimensions and components of the participant, subject, field, are all parts of the effort to expand the conceptual meaning of this word.

Background and Aim: The notion of modern Islamic civilization has always been tied to the concept of social discipline; and most thinkers have confused civilization with civilization and urbanization. Social discipline does not mean the absence of chaos, but much of it is a sense of security and a lack of mental chaos. According to Hegel, if security is merely for security, it creates insecurity. Therefore, security must be purposeful. It is needless to say that, this issue is related to the regulatory components and executives who are essential to social discipline. Therefore, in order to establish social discipline and crime prevention, any civilization must focus on disciplinary components, while calling on strong forces to manage and execute discipline in society. In this regard, in the Islamic Iranian civilization, Naja as a disciplinary force, while emphasizing the spiritual aspect of social discipline, maintaining public participation, protecting religion, adhering to the law, promoting knowledge and health of work environment, and adhering to values, is in charge of regulating and managing crime prevention in the community. For this purpose, the present study evaluates the impact of disciplinary elements in promoting modern Islamic civilization in crime prevention. Methodology: The method used for the pupose of this study is a combination of documentary and survey studies. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire that used to answer questions t-test and Pearson correlation coefficient and Friedman coefficient to rank the components. The population consisted of 30 social discipline experts who were selected randomly using Morgan table and Cronbach’ s alpha coefficient. Results: The statistical analysis of the present study rejected the null hypothesis (H) with a significant level (sig = 0. 000) which was smaller than the test level (a = 0. 01) and with 0. 99 confidence of the effect of the components. It endorsed the new Islamic civilization in crime prevention. Results: The results of the present study show that there is a positive correlation between the components of discipline and promotion of modern Islamic civilization at the significant level of 0. 01 and the two-way relationship is significant.

Economy is considered as a crucial and decisive element of any country. Other major elements including political, cultural and scientific also depend on the economic status. As in the case of Iran, Economic crimes, especially in recent year, have worsen, thus posing greater challenge for the disordered economy, dragging it to chaotic abyss. Meanwhile, the increasing rate of such crimes indicates that the prevention and combating of crimes have failed. Therefore, this research took advantage of an analytical-descriptive method to identify and explain the causes of committing such crimes, taking personal characters of the perpetrators, as well as the internal and external factors into account. Hence, comparing them with the theories of economic criminology to provide basis for effective prevention of such crimes. The outcome of this research suggest that internal factors including cultural factors, economic system structure, legislative system’ s failure in introducing the macro policies, the failure of government’ s executive policies, also poor methods of criminal confrontation for many years on one hand, and international elements such as sanctions on the other hand have paved the way for opportunities of these crimes and have led to spread of economic crimes in the territory of Iran.

Purpose: Considering the increasing environmental change, issues of knowledge management, empowerment and organizational effectiveness have possessed significant importance. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of knowledge management and staff empowerment in organizational effectiveness of staff of NAJA organization. The research method was descriptive-correlational. The population consisted of all 310, 000 employees of the organization. Stratified random sampling method was used and Krejcie and Morgan table were applied to determine the sample size. Accordingly, 384 individuals participated in this study. The measuring tools of the study included three standard Newman and Conrad knowledge management questionnaires with a reliability coefficient of 0. 96, a standard Spritzer psychological empowerment questionnaire with a reliability coefficient of 0. 87 and a Parsons organizational effectiveness standard questionnaire with a reliability coefficient of 0. 92. so, Cronbach’ s alpha coefficient was used to determine reliability. In addition, the research took advantage of face validity and content validity to determine the validity of the questionnaires. Pearson correlation coefficient and multivariate regression were utilized to analyze the data. Also, all stages of data analysis were analyzed using Spss18 software. The results of the present study confirmed all the research hypotheses. In other words, 1. There is a direct relationship between knowledge management and the effectiveness of the staff of the NAJA 2. There is a direct relationship between empowerment and the effectiveness of NAJA staff 3. There is a direct relationship between knowledge management and empowerment of the staff of the NAJA 4. Knowledge management and staff empowerment have the power to predict the organizational effectiveness of the NAJA.

Background and Objective: White-collar crimes alongside economic losses has consequences that are far more damaging, including the weakening of social trust and the deterioration of national security. Hence this research focused on economic security and thus on national security. Method: A descriptive-analytical study was carried out using library resources. First, all the books, articles and works of all scholars who commented on white collar crime were studied. In addition to the crime, the aforementioned works had important debates in the social, political and security fields. But for the purposes of the main research questions and questions, we extracted texts that were, in terms of meanings and themes, related to the security implications of white collar crimes. We then compared the extracted texts with each other to provide a rational connection between them. Results: The economic corruption caused by white collar delinquency directly affects national security. It is one of the key indicators of national security. As a result, national security is weakened.
