Iranian Music industry suffers from many problems. This threatens indigenous culture and identity. The aim of paper is to investigate the main causes of the problems and provide solutions for them. For that end, first interviews with 14 activists in Music affairs in order to identify the problems. Then, solutions for each of the problem using innovation system approach were provided. Thereafter Fuzzy Delphi method has been used to choose the most consensus problems and solutions. As the concluding remark, the research shows that the main reason for the problems is disorder in innovation system of Music industry, and organizing innovation system in Music industry is the best way to address that. In the other words, many of the current problems can be mitigated by creating and strengthening policymaking bodies, financing, creating indigenous Music, developing human resources and the production of Musical goods and services. However, consensus could not be reached on the importance of supporting entrepreneurship and religious- social research in the creation of Music.

Purpose: The future of the construction industry is increasingly influenced by new technologies. In order to adopt appropriate strategies in facing new technologies, it is necessary to know the possible futures of the construction industry. This research was done with the aim of explaining the technological uncertainties and compiling the future scenarios of the construction industry.  Method: The research method is applied and was carried out with a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. First, the library study was used to determine the technological drivers, then the Structural Analysis was used to explain the technological uncertainties, and finally, the Schwartz method was used to compile the scenarios. The statistical population is experts of construction industry. Findings: Nine technological uncertainties affecting the future of the construction industry have been identified and for each of them, three states of decline, stagnation and progress have been considered. Data analysis by Scenario Wizard shows eight probable scenarios. The portfolio of scenarios including four groups of progress scenarios, towards progress, towards stagnation, and towards wane has been compiled. Conclusion: In the progress scenario, the 89% of uncertainties have developed. In  towards progress, 56% of the factors are in the development status, which indicates the development of the technological factor application. In the stagnation scenario, no progress has been made in the application of uncertainties and they are in a static state. In towards wane, uncertainties have been placed in a situation of reduced use.

Due to the changes made in the last few decades, it can be said that the Internet, and then digital technologies, have transformed the generality of Music industry. While some of the negative consequences of this trend can be pointed out, it must be acknowledged that a large portion of new businesses in the Music industry such as digital Music distribution has been a positive consequence of these technological changes. Given the specific cultural, social, and political conditions in Iran, the main goal of this research is to develop strategies for optimizing the use of these emerging opportunities in the digital distribution of Music with an innovative and practical approach. In this regard, using a qualitative research approach and interviewing 14 experts in the country, this study presents its strategic plan for the study. The strategies proposed in this study are divided into six sections: product innovation, service, position, process, social, and paradigmatic. Finally, the results show that if digital Music distribution services can adequately identify their needs and feelings, they will be able to better respond to their needs and innovate with business model innovations. They will, by doing so, finally bring new actors into their market. Finally, there are some cultural and political challenges in this arena.

Introduction: Academic motivation can be perceived as a factor in deciding to continue academic education. One of the new models in this area is Jones’s model of academic motivation (Music). This study aimed to test the seven-factor structure of this motivation model in medical sciences students.Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on 378 students (197 females and 181 males) of Urmia University of Medical Sciences who were selected through cluster sampling method. Data were collected using Jones and Wilkins’s 26-item students’ motivation questionnaire. Amos-16 software was used for the correlation matrix analysis and confirmatory factor analysis.Results: A positive significant correlation existed among the components of the model. Goodness of fit indices showed that the seven-factor model provides a good fit of students’ academic motivation. Conclusion: The seven-factor structure of academic motivation (Music) model can be highly useful in developing and promoting students’ academic motivation and participation.

The digital phenomenon, which is almost half a century old, has left many important effects in human social life, in which accuracy is considered one of the essential elements of all modern societies. For this purpose, this study has tried to examine it from different angles, considering the importance of the subject. This study analyzes the differences between traditional and modern art, despite the challenges and opportunities, through today's tools such as radio and television, in addition to the domination of audio and visual mediums in front of traditional assets from two perspectives. First, he criticized the origin and foundations of this phenomenon in the field of sound and Music and pointed out that along with the progress of the digital industry, the world of Music has also established a deep connection with business, economy and cultural policies due to this electronic medium. Second, the phenomenon of digital Music was scrutinized in the social-cultural context and in the star-making (celebrity) process, and it showed that digital concepts have an important place in the economic system of world Music, and with its enormous potential, it can be used as a serious approach in artistic and economic discourses (especially in developing countries such as Iran). Finally, the results of this study showed that various factors are influential in these developments, some of which typically cause the replacement of cultural and artistic products and make it possible to present various opportunities and challenges to be faced by artistic activists and cultural policy makers.

The Music industry is one of the most influential and profitable art-media industries that has found a special position and role in the media market in recent years. Therefore, one cannot be indifferent to its activities and challenges faced by this sector at the policymaking level. The present study is an attempt to find the policymaking question of the Music industry in the Islamic Republic of Iran and to explain the network of policymaking actors and analyze the relationship between them. In this study, in-depth and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 Music industry experts, including industry activists, managers, journalists and university professors. The gathered data have been analyzed by actor-network theory. According to the findings of this study, the policymaking network of this industry is facing economic, cultural, regulatory, religious, educational, structural, legal and managerial challenges, which due to the lack of a coordinated policymaking network, these issues and challenges are yet to be tackled. There are diverse inconsistent private and public actors within the Music industry policymaking network, and the absence of a central actor, has left the network unable to formulate and implement required policies. Also, due to the perceived complexities, this network is not strong enough to develop policies and address the challenges of the Music industry. To address these issues, proposals have been made to design a strong network for the Music industry policymaking sector.

Problem statement: This study examines the interplay between ascribed identity and resistant identity in relation to Musical and para-Musical elements, in the formation of a distinct cultural identity within Tehran’s café spaces. It also seeks to understand and explain the complexities of preserving an independent identity within a commercialized environment. The ascribed identity, rooted in intellectualism, independence, and alternative values, is evaluated in comparison with the resistant identity, which consists of opposition to popular Musical elements and distancing from the dominant body of Iran’s mainstream Music industry. Research objective: The central question of this research is to investigate the extent to which the independent Music scene remains committed to the identity ascribed to it. Research method: This study employed qualitative, comparative, and content analysis methods. Data collection was conducted both in the field and through library research. The fieldwork took place in Tehran and, virtually, in Austria during the winter of 2022–2023. Conclusion: Drawing on the theories of Stuart Hall, Theodor Adorno, Timothy Rice, Antonio Gramsci, and Michel Foucault, this research highlights the interactions between cultural identity, commodification, and the influence of Western Music on Iran’s urban Music spaces. The findings reveal a substantive overlap between the independent Music movement in recent years and the popular Music scene, which must be considered a major contradiction in achieving the ultimate goal of independence within today’s Iranian Music industry.

This study aims to analyze the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) of the Metaverse in the Music industry. This qualitative research employed a thematic analysis approach. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 21 participants involved in Music, technology, and digital content creation in Tehran. Purposeful sampling was used, and interviews continued until theoretical saturation. NVivo 12 software was utilized to code and categorize data based on the four SWOT dimensions. Findings revealed that the main strengths of the Metaverse in Music included multisensory experience, elimination of spatial limitations, new revenue models, direct interaction with audiences, personal branding development, and diverse Music delivery formats. Key weaknesses included digital inequality, lack of technical skills, threats to artistic authenticity, copyright infringement, and platform dependency. Identified opportunities encompassed globalization of local Music, creation of new markets, remote collaboration, youth engagement, and performance innovation. Major threats included technical failures, identity crises, diminished human interaction, platform monopolies, and ethical-security concerns. While the Metaverse offers transformative and innovative potential for the Music industry, it also introduces numerous technical, cultural, and legal challenges. Effective utilization of this technology requires targeted policymaking, capacity-building for artists, and enhanced legal and technological infrastructures.

The disadvantage of the innovation system is one of the main causes of the economic problems in the Music industry, and elimination of this problem involves organizing the innovation system in various parts of the Music industry, especially in the digital age. In recent decades, the digital distribution of Music has been able to create a lot of wealth for different societies. In particular, inside the digital media environment, "distribution" is at the heart of the Music industry. Therefore, with a closer look at how digital distribution of Music can be systematically mapped out the creation of wealth in the Music industry. Using a deep case study, the present study seeks to reach the efficient media market in the digital distribution of Music through the identification and analysis of media innovations of an Iranian business (i. e., Beeptunes). In this regard, using the conceptual framework of Media Innovation of Storsul and Krumsvik, innovations in this online business have been analyzed in five dimensions of product, process, position, paradigm and social. The main results of this study indicate that media innovations should not be considered only as technological innovations; instead, online businesses in the digital distribution of Music should have a "humanistic" look at innovations Media outlets. The key to the success of online business in the Music industry is to pay more attention to the key player in the industry, called the "human".
