Scientific collaboration is one of the main drivers of innovation and a key component of indigenous technology development. When academia, industry, and government are embedded in a growing network of interactions, interactive learning and the expansion of knowledge resulting from it leads to innovations that help advance the technology industry. In the defense field, innovation plays a key role in improving equipment, processes and providing advanced services to the military. Therefore, the present study aims at analyzing defense cooperation networks according to the special needs in each of the various sectors of the technology development process and innovation to examine the network, innovation and technology development process, types of defense cooperation, types of cooperation networks and network experiences. Then, with the help of content analysis, the indices and characteristics of each collaboration network are extracted. Finally, with the help of an expert panel of defense thinkers and executives, a variety of interactions of the Defense Cooperation Network actors depending on the nature of the cooperation, capability, and level of cooperation have been graded according to the process of technology development and innovation in the defense industry. Networks and defense industry needs are identified and leveled in the process of technology development and innovation.

The purpose of this study was to identify the criteria of critical and key jobs in National Iranian Tanker company to better attract and retain talents in the organization. In the present study, a qualitative approach was taken and it was descriptive (case study) in terms of data collection. The participants were chosen from managers and experts in National Iranian Tanker Company (NITC). Based on purposive sampling, data were collected from 12 participants in two stages. In the first stage, qualitative data were collocated through 12 interviews. Then, the criteria of critical and key jobs were identified via thematic analysis. In the second stage, investigators designed and submitted a paired-comparison questionnaire to organizations' elites in order to determine the importance of criteria. The aforementioned questionnaires were analyzed based on AHP technique and via Expert Choice software. Conclusively, a model comprising of 7 dimensions for critical jobs and a model with 3 dimensions for key jobs were set.

Assessing the innovation capacity of knowledge-based companies and predicting their innovation capacity is very important for these companies, and the decision to transfer or expand the company's technology depends on the level of innovation capacity. The main purpose of this study is to design a model for assessing the innovation capacity of knowledge-based companies with a neural-adaptive fuzzy inference approach. Nervous-adaptive fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is a good way to solve nonlinear problems. ANFIS is a combination of fuzzy inference and neural network that utilizes both. The research and statistical sample population for compiling, implementing and testing the model is all the knowledge-based companies of Pardis Technology Park, and finally 180 items were evaluated, collected by expert evaluators and based on model calculations. To evaluate the performance of the model, the parameters of the average error square (RMSE), relative error percentage (e), absolute error average (MAE) and coefficient of explanation (R2) were calculated, which are 0. 0136, 1. 3%, and 0. 048, respectively. And 0. 998 was obtained. which indicates the accuracy and reliability of the model output prediction. This research is descriptive-survey in terms of purpose, application, and data collection method. The output of this study is "ANFIS".

The concept of "fanaticism in the organization" is one of the concepts that has been considered less in the management literature. Fanaticism in the organization is a form of Organization members that works beyond the usual standards, routine tasks, and with more than usual ability to meet organizational goals. Fanaticism in an organization as an attitude can play an important role in maximizing organizational productivity. Researches carried out with this concept are often conducted with a negative view. From a positive point of view, fanaticism in the organization can be a sign of the high commitment of members to the organization, work group, job and organization. In this research, by exploring the views of industry experts and experts, we have studied the causes of fanaticism formation in the organization with a positive view. In this regard, the methodology of the data theory approach has been used with the apparent approach. The research community in this study was the employees working in industries of Khorasan Razavi province. Based on the theoretical sampling method in the data theory, 17 theoretical Saturation was obtained. In this research, after analyzes made during the coding process and the continuous comparison, 46 codes or initial data and 5 concepts were plotted. The result of the codes, concepts, and categories derived from the emergence of the final model of research, led to the fanaticism of the organization.

Employees, especially new generation employees, expect to progress steadily in their careers, and when they reach a stage where the job is not learned and their skills improvement is stopped or they are unable to advance in the organizational hierarchy, Plateau phenomenon occurs which can have many consequences on important attitudes of employees. Understanding the importance of attitudes such as job involvement and organizational commitment, this study investigates the impact of the plateau phenomenon on these two variables in Taraspay. The survey method was used to collect data with a questionnaire including 52 questions. A total of 14 hypotheses were examined, one of which was rejected and the effect of content, plateau on normative commitment was not confirmed.

The purpose of this research is to provide a basic model for a Talent Management System (TMS). In the present study, by conducting a systematic review and critisizing talent management models, it is tried to provide a fundamental theoretical model that be suitable for all organizations with any structure. The findings of the research showed that TMS should include at least three key items of attraction & selection, training & development and retaining.

Citizens in a society are the main owners of the political system and public management. The extent of involvement in the country and public management has been different concerning the evolution trend of paradigms and theories of political sciences and public management in different time periods. The initial paradigm in public management is the same as the Technocratic and Instrumentalist traditional public administration which was based on the maximum government and the minimum involvement of citizens in public administration. Shifting from the paradigm of traditional public management to the new public management, the minimum government and citizens maximum involvement and privatization were emphasized. Beyond the new public management and moving toward the paradigm of public value management, the interaction between public management and citizen was considered concerning the ethical and institutional approach. In this paradigm, the values of citizens rights, democracy, institutionalism, serving people, involvement, social capital, and civil society have been considered more than before. Further, the realm of public power in the public value management, bureaucracy and the market has been developed to the wider domains in civil society and governance networks. In the paradigm of public value management, the power is, in nature, various and many partners from different parts of the government, businesses, and NGOs involve in creating and protecting public values.

This study aimed to critically examine university management in achieving top global rankings, using a qualitative-research approach with Ruth Wodak’ s method of critical discourse analysis. Participants included 16 experts and senior officials from the Institute for Higher Education Research and Planning, University of Tehran, Eco Insurance Higher Education Institute, Alameh Tabatabae University and Technical and Vocational University whom were selected via snowball sampling method. Semi-structured interviews were applied to collect data based on theoretical saturation which were lasting between 30 and 60 minutes. For data validation both participants review (member check) and review by external experts (external check) were applied. Thematic analysis and spoken texts analysis methods were used to analyze data. The results showed that university management problems in Iran are associated with two factors: Intrapersonal Factors (extreme politicization of university managers, disregard for delegating authority and trying to maintain the status quo, assuming academic management the same as managing other organizations, inappropriate decision making and planning); and Interpersonal Factors (defective monitoring and evaluation system, inappropriate organizing and coordination). In this regard, some strategies are presented to improve the global ranking of Iranian universities.

The present study aimed to identify the factors affecting the deployment of mobile learning in sistan and baluchestan university. The method of this study is applied in terms of the purpose, applied and in terms of data type; the pattern in this study is based on the qualitative method of, which was determined using the meta-synthesis method of 49 mobile learning article in universities, and the importance and priority of each was determined by the quantitative method of shannon entropy. In order to validate the model, questionnaire number one was designed and distributed among the statistical population. the statistical population of this study includes all students of the university of sistan and baluchestan in the number of 21217, the statistical sample using the morgan table was the number of 377 and was used to analyze the data from a confirmatory factor analysis method with the help of smart pls software. according to research findings, effective factors in this model are in two dimensions of infrastructure (tools and technology and support infrastructure), and individual (user personality traits and user skill attributes).

Synchronous co-operation between competing companies, which is referred to coopetition, has recently been considered by companies and industries. Companies use this strategy for various purposes, such as increasing productivity, improving competitive positioning and gaining their industry knowledge and technology. Multiple car companies such as General Motors, Toyota and Nissan in the world, and Iran Khodro Company in Iran are companies which use this strategy to achieve their goals. But reviews indicate that this phenomenon has not been modeled in Iran Automotive Industry yet and its dimensions and components has not been identified. Systemic approach can play a role in creating a comprehensive and coherent model. In this paper, researcher intends to identify and explain coopetition model in Iran Automotive Industry by use of Qualitative Methodological Tool and Grounded Theory strategy. Statistical population of this study is Iran Khodro Company, and sampling method is theoretical sampling. Results are identified in the form of coopetition system in three parts. The first part deals with coopetition drives which include two general categories of internal and external drives, the second part deals with coopetition process with centered cooperation strategies and, finally the third part deals with outputs of using coopetition in Iran Automotive Industry.

Leading complex social constructs and binding to socio-economical goals are two major imperatives in social science research and practice. Even though complexity leadership and social enterprise are perceived innovative approaches to address these environmental requisites, shortcomings of either construct inhibited meeting the intended objectives. Shared theoretical grounds and unique characteristics of either construct however, allows combination of elements and generation of further innovation and complexity to address some limitations of each construct. This research investigates the complexity leadership phenomena in the context of educational social enterprises deficient of sufficient financial resources, from interpretive phenomenology standpoint. Findings underline the prominence of practical reasoning and normative morality in enabling complexity leadership and development of environmentally stable states in the relevant social enterprises.
