Regarding the subject of this research, domestic researchers have not had significant studies so far, and globally, research has been done to provide a model for planning the organization's resources with respect to very few knowledge components. Regarding the innovation in the research method, it should be mentioned that in the present study, both the qualitative Meta-Synthesis method and the quantitative method of interpretive structural modeling have been used, which in previous studies conducted with the subject of this research, had little history and its number was limited. Is.The main question of the research is what is the native model of organizational resource planning according to the knowledge components in Khorasan Petrochemical and what is the leveling of the components of this model. According to the main research question, identifying the components and components of knowledge effective on the successful implementation of organizational resource planning in Khorasan Petrochemical, presenting and approving the local model of organizational resource planning and leveling the components of this model, Are the objectives of this research. In this research, a combined approach has been used. This research is a kind of mixed exploratory research plans and quantitative and qualitative paradigms have been used. Using qualitative data of other researches, the research model has been prepared by Meta-Synthesis method. This research is inductive in terms of execution logic (part to whole), because the model is obtained by using the coding of subcomponents. Then, the components of the model are leveled with mathematical method (quantitative) and using interpretive structural modeling method (ISM) and with MATLAB 2019 software. Using the hybrid method and using the seven-step model of Sandowski and Barroso and reviewing the research findings, 27 sub-components were identified, which are: Continuous and effective training, knowledge acquisition, knowledge creation, knowledge management, knowledge organization and storage, knowledge sharing, knowledge use, knowledge transfer, knowledge integration, knowledge updating, organizational knowledge portal, organizational resource planning software , Knowledge management software, database, knowledge of what, knowledge of why, knowledge of how, manpower, ability to change, staff intelligence, transfer of consultant knowledge, use of project consultants knowledge, intranet, expert training, leadership knowledge, project team culture And socialization of knowledge.Then, to determine the main components, themes (pivot codes) are formed. Sub-components of research with coding became the 7 main components of knowledge management, knowledge management system, knowledge types, smart brokers, student-led leadership, consulting knowledge and cooperation culture.A model of knowledge components affecting the organization's resource planning systems was prepared and it was found that the research model has three levels. The consultant component at level one is the components of knowledge management system, types of knowledge, staff characteristics, knowledge-oriented leadership and cooperation culture at level two, and the component of knowledge management at level three.Discussion and This research sought to discover the local pattern of resource planning of the organization according to the knowledge components in Khorasan Petrochemical Company. After conducting research with the combined method, 26 knowledge sub-components effective on organizational resource planning were identified in this company, of which 11 sub-components were knowledge acquisition, knowledge creation, knowledge management, knowledge organization and storage, knowledge sharing, knowledge use. Knowledge transfer, knowledge management software, use of project consultants' knowledge, continuous and effective training and knowledge socialization had the most repetition in previous research. The sub-components became the 7 main components of knowledge management, knowledge management system, knowledge types, smart brokers, student-oriented leadership, consulting knowledge and cooperation culture with axial coding. Previous research has provided some of the knowledge components of this research for the successful implementation of organizational resource planning; However, in none of the previous researches, these seven components were put together and it can be said that the obtained model of this research is comprehensive and can be used as a model in other petrochemical companies and similar companies. To be placed.Then, as observed, the main components of the model were graded by interpretive structural modeling. As it was observed, no component in the model obtained from the research is an independent variable, ie all components of this model have a strong interaction and reaction. Component 5 means the consultant's knowledge in the area of ​​influence, that is, it has high influence and low dependence. The knowledge consulting component is the cornerstone of the organization's local resource planning model and the most effective component in Khorasan Petrochemical Company.

Knowledge Management discipline is still in its infancy in Iran, and thus, includes numerous unknown and unexplored issues. Although organizations, especially the University of Mazandaran which is the case study of this research, have gradually acknowledged the importance of Knowledge Management in their different units, it is still far from operationalization. Various units of Mazandaran University must consciously concern themselves with this issue and take preventive actions to take maximum advantage of this opportunity. The current study aimed to design and implement an optimal Knowledge Management plan. To this end, the researcher applied a mixed-method approach using meta-synthesis and Interpretive Structural Modeling techniques to assess the maturity of Knowledge Management and to design a model for optimizing its implementation at University of Mazandaran. Meta-synthesis results led to the identification of 98 sub-criteria (code), 14 criteria and three main dimensions in implementing Knowledge Management which were screened and localized by the researchers using Delphi technique and based on expert views and further employed to assess the maturity of knowledge management at Mazandaran University. The results of the analysis revealed that Knowledge Management was at an undesirable maturity level. The study offers a number of implications and suggestions to promote the maturity level of knowledge management at this university

A glance at the state of the creative industries as a new concept for research institutions and policy makers in the country indicates that the researchers and policymakers of the country have little regard for this cultural-economic concept. This concept covers a wide and diverse range of industries, such as advertising, architecture, design, fashion, animation, movies, computer and online games, which, based on its cultural and economic functions for the country, requires a profound and more serious attention from the policy institutions in the country. The purpose of this research is to provide a model consisting of systems and components that affect the value chain of creative industries based on the conditions and characteristics of Iranian native cultural and economic characteristics. Based on this objective, the present study extracts a native model for the value chain of the creative industries using interviewing experts and using the grounded theory method. The results of the research are presented in a model based on the metaphor of the system, that is named Iran’s value system of creative industries.

Creative and cultural industries are among the most rapidly growing sectors at global level. It is expected that this sector will play a greater role in the world economy. Increasing growth of these industries, will bring about impacts and outcomes other than economic consequences, which will be of more importance at firm level. Change of the society's identity, lifestyle, and approach to national independence, etc. can be among the impacts of creative industries. Therefore, the government should monitor the impacts and outcomes of creative industries through establishing a particular mechanism. The present research has presented a monitoring system of "creative industries impacts" which matches the Iran’s value system by using a grounded theory method and interviews with experts, and applying the standardized framework of OECD. Through this, three major categories including monitoring of the political impacts of creative industries, impacts on national development and impacts on identity, and also fifteen central concepts were identified under these categories. Finally, validation of the research findings was carried out by utilizing a Fuzzy Delphi method

Todays, the success of organizations, is directly related to the knowledge that they can generate and distribute, the speed of producing, the amount of accumulation and usage of this knowledge. On the other hand, environmental concerns about manufacturing industries induce organizations to use green practices in various supply chain processes. The successful implementation of knowledge management in the green supply chain improves the efficiency, effectiveness, profitability and competitive advantage of organizations. Since the implementation of knowledge management requires a lot of time and cost, the present study examines the success rate of knowledge management in the green supply chain based on fuzzy decision making. In this paper, after reviewing the literature, five main dimensions including employee attributes, organizational strategy, organizational culture, technological factors and management factors and 25 indicators for assessing the success of knowledge management in the green supply chain are determined. Using the opinions of 10 experts of Farasanat company, 21 indicators of knowledge management success in the green supply chain have been identified and the weight of each index is calculated by using the FDEMATEL method. In the next step, the rank of each index is calculated with by FSAW. Finally, by using the calculated weight and index rank, the success rate of knowledge management implementation in the green supply chain is determined. The results show that Farasanat company has a success rate of 0.72 in implementing knowledge management in the green supply chain.

Since corruption in higher education is a pervasive phenomenon that educational systems have always been involved with and paid heavily for it, The purpose of the present study is formulating a non-corruption university model based on upstream documents and the laws and regulations of the higher education system in order to pursue the key mission of the higher education system and to improve its quality. This study is an applied research that has been done through qualitative content analysis method and based on the deductive approach of textual content, upstream documents related to higher education are analyzed as communicated strategies, and corresponding concepts are derived in the form of open and axial codes. In the first section, 77 examples of the set of laws on higher education in the country were selected through non-probabilistic and targeted sampling, so a typology of the rules of the higher education system was presented. In the second section, by analyzing the content of the 7 upstream documents of higher education, and deriving of the obligatory statements for universities and institutes, 19 main codes are extracted and grouped in four axes. These are: management and policy approach in higher education, providing infrastructure and financial resources, training of committed and expert human resources and policy implementation, which monitoring and evaluation of these has led to a model based on the standards of upstream documents in higher education. Finally, some suggestions for implementing this model are proposed.

The development of cooperation between the university and industry in advanced countries, shows the close relationship between the two institutions. There are various levels of interactions between industry and academics in research collaboration and research services. Innovation and, consequently, open innovation can be seen as a shared goal and concern for effective collaboration between the university and the industry. Open innovation includes communication, increased engagement and collaboration of external role players such as users, customers, suppliers, universities and even competitors to exchange innovative ideas. The research method was of descriptive-correlation and the statistical population was the faculty members of governmental Universities of Mazandaran province in 1396. According to the Morgan table, 270 people are the statistical sample of this study. The data collection tools were Parkman and Walsh standard questionnaires. Data analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics at a significant level of P ≤ 0.05. The results of the hypothesis testing were performed by SMART-PLS software. The results of path analysis of the research pattern showed that open innovation has an impact on the university-industry cooperation, so that research collaboration on the cooperation of the university and industry has a positive and significant impact and the relationship between them is moderate. And other variables, such as research services, human resource transfer, academic entrepreneurship, intellectual property commercialization, informal interaction and scientific publications, have a positive and significant impact on the cooperation of the university and industry, but this relationship is weak in the statistical society. According to this study, it is suggested that authorities and policymakers consider the relevant variables in the cooperation of the university and industry and consider them in their policies in order to see more interaction and cooperation between the university and the industry

Knowledge management facilitates and accelerates communication and information exchange in every organization and can represent innovation, empowerment and efficiency of organizations (especially, universities). In such circumstances, organizations may employ knowledge in order to improve their performance (Barney, 1991; Karkoulian et al., 2013). prganizational performance represents its survival status in the present environment. the emphasis of management on the contribution of employees to performance improvement indicates the importance of this issue. this may be implemented as an infrastructural investment on human resources through permeating into the working area. in these situations, high and desirable performance is expected from every organization (Mousakhani et al., 2009).

Despite the enormous potentials of Iran to generate electricity from photovoltaic solar systems, diffusion of these systems is very slow. The present study, which was performed during the period of 2016-2018 by combining multi-level approaches and technological innovation system, seeks to identify and investigate the barriers that Iran's fossil-fuel socio-technical regime has created in its historical and cultural context caused non-transition to photovoltaic solar systems. For this purpose, firstly, after reviewing the literature, interviewing the experts and thematic analysis, transition barriers with emphasis on the regime were identified and then Fuzzy Delphi technique was used to test the results. Eventually, 10 obstacles were categorized into four economic, institutional, political and technical categories, including market control by the ruling regime, the use of discursive strategies, regulation and standards in stabilizing the ruling regime, massive investment in oil and gas distribution and extraction. In the second phase, interviews with experts and the use of the Strategic Options Development and Analysis (SODA) method indicated that these barriers had the greatest impact on the functions of resource allocation, legitimization, and system orientation. Finally, some mechanisms have been proposed to overcome these obstacles

The present research proposed a main question: what are causes and contexts of academic corruption and what are consequences of this corruption for students, professors, higher education structure and, in general, for other institutions and organizations of a society? Grounded Theory was used as research approach. data was collected through deep qualitative interviews with 22 doctoral students, faculty members of economic sciences and human science departments of Shahid Beheshti, Tarbiyat Modares and Mazandaran universities, and policy-makers in the field of science and technology (Academic year 2016 – 17). The sample was selected by theoretical and purposive sampling techniques. Findings indicated that multiplicity of institutions determining academic policy, centralism, importance of quantity rather than quality, escaping the law, higher education commercialization, increased demand for higher education, credentialism were among the main causes of academic corruption. Moreover, other contexts and causes such as gap between university and industry, wrong procedures for formal supervision and degradation of teaching contributed to university corruption. Results demonstrated that such corruption weakens individual and professional ethics, negative economic consequences and lowers total level of social well-being.

The most important advantage of competitive global businesses is now considered to be quick responsiveness in meeting the diverse needs of customers. Therefore, many experts in Management consider agility as the key to the success of organizations in the dynamic and unpredictable era. Numerous definitions of agility have been proposed through close scrutiny of various factors. In this study, we aimed to identify major agility-related factors based on a comprehensive theoretical and empirical literature review. Having integrated the opinions of experts and local agents based on the Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) technique, we scrutinized the extent of the driving and dependence power of these factors in knowledge-based companies that are rapidly gaining ground. The results obtained from the analysis of nineteen identified major agility-related factors showed that structural flexibility of organizations and data analysis are the most penetrating drivers and environmental accountability and the capacity to modify business goals are the most dependent factors.

Multi attribute decision making methods have an important role in solving real life problems. Decision making is difficult for managers due to the complexity of the problems and the uncertainty and vagueness of information. Interval-valued hesitant fuzzy set (IVHFS) is an effective tool to express uncertainty, vagueness and hesitancy. HFS and IVHFS are extensions of fuzzy set. In this paper, we develop the DEAMATEL-based analytic network process (DANP) method to solve the MADM problems with IVHFS information. Firstly, the deviation degree for interval-valued hesitant fuzzy elements (IVHFEs) is described and then the subtraction and division operations for IVHFEs is introduced. After which, for a better recognition of HFE or IVHFE, a new operator is proposed which simultaneously takes into account the score value and the deviation degree. Next, the basics of DANP method are presented and after which, the principles and steps of the developed DANP method are introduced. Finally, the outsourcing of an airline company is verified by using the proposed method. Based on the result, the risk dimension is most important followed by compatibility, quality and cost. Also, flexibility in billing is the most important criterion.
