Introduction :

Management knowledge always seeks to provide new models for the optimal management of organizations and solving their problems. Performance management is one of the management requirements that all organizations have used in different ways in the past to achieve the expected goals. The concept, approach, process, and method of performance evaluation have always been revised and continuously improved based on the need, and currently, it has reached its relative maturity with the concept of performance management. In the new approach, performance management is considered a tool to implement strategies and policies and achieve organizational goals, and its main goal is to increase the abilities and competencies and grow and nurture the evaluated organization. Such a view of performance management requires the existence of features that make the system efficient and effective, and the flexibility and dynamism of the performance management framework fulfill the above demand. Performance management is one of the main and fundamental tools of high management to achieve the goals and plans of the organization. In non-governmental public institutions, such as municipalities, this issue has been emphasized a lot. Since the municipality is in charge of managing the city, it is essential to pay attention to the management and functioning of the municipality. This is despite the fact that the proper management of any organization, including the municipality, will not be realized except with appropriate planning, implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and revision to create a suitable environment for improving performance. Currently, the problem that exists in our country is the inefficiency of municipalities in the field of performance management, and the expected improvements in performance, accountability, transparency, and service quality have not yet occurred. Also, the performance literature in the field of urban management shows that the existing approaches emphasize more on measurement and evaluation, and the management approach is less representative. The existing models and theories in performance management are focused either on the individual level or on the institutional level and are less focused on the wholeness and comprehensiveness of the organization. Therefore, the main problem of this research is the lack of a suitable performance management model in the municipality, and that too with a comprehensive view in all dimensions. In this sense, a comprehensive and desirable model should be prepared and compiled according to the requirements of the municipality. Based on that, it is possible to reach performance management in the municipality from the stage of pure performance evaluation and provide more accurate information for better and more effective management to the municipal managers.

Since this research seeks to identify and explain the factors, dimensions, and consequences of performance management in the municipality and presents a new plan of information, it is considered applied research. Also, based on the research plan and in terms of data collection, the current research is descriptive research and the combined methods of interview, content analysis, and fuzzy Delphi were used to collect information. This research has been done with a mixed approach (qualitative-quantitative) in three stages. The first stage was conducted using the interview method (qualitative), the second stage was conducted using the content analysis method (quantitative), and the third stage was conducted using the fuzzy Delphi method (quantitative). The statistical sample of the research in the interview method was 20 experts in Bandar Abbas Municipality who were selected using the snowball sampling method. The statistical sample in fuzzy Delphi was 25 experts (20 interviewees and 5 university professors). After conducting the interviews, using the content analysis method, the factors, components, and consequences of performance management were identified in 3 levels individual performance, group performance, and organizational performance. Then, using the fuzzy Delphi method, the researcher’s conceptual model was sent to the experts for verification and refinement in three rounds.

Factors affecting individual management include two categories of behavioral factors including components (motivation, competence and individual skill, knowledge, participation in decisions, attitude, respect, and honor), and system factors including components (atmosphere and prevailing culture, system rules, promotion and reward and rights, leadership and management, cooperation and communication, justice and fairness, system structure, human resources development). In the field of group performance management, the influencing factors are divided into three categories of structural factors including (training and growth, fair recruitment and selection, goals and strategies, organizational atmosphere and culture, regulations, and rules, group promotion and reward, justice, and fairness, shared values ) managerial factors include the components (knowledge management, validity of managers’ decisions, managers’ characteristics, management support, human capital management, delegation of authority and power) and technical factors include the components (information and communication technology, health and safety of the work environment). The factors affecting organizational performance are divided into three categories: social factors including the components (laws and regulations of the society, justice and fairness of the society, culture and common values of the society, society’s view towards the municipality, human resources development) economic factors including the components (pricing of services, budget allocation, ability to receive budget, government’s economic approach) and political factors including (sanctions in supplying parts and services, power and influence of city council members, support for the organization (municipality), influence and power of municipal management in public arenas and government). The dimensions of individual performance management in the municipality are two categories of moral performance including components (morality, rule of law, humility, respect, patience), and functional performance including components (personal growth, individual productivity, creativity and innovation, cooperation and empathy, learning, responsibility, flexibility, effort, and diligence). In the field of group performance, its dimensions are divided into two categories of process performance including dimensions (timely information, accurate calculations of reports, quality of services, quantity, and speed of services, productivity and reducing costs, achieving goals, dealing with administrative violations) and human resource performance including (teamwork obligations, professional ethics, seriousness and group effort) were divided. The organizational performance of the municipality includes the aspects of financial performance with components (maintenance of treasury, payment of claims, compensation, and compensation, organizational efficiency, profitability, and income, protection of real estate), urban planning, and architecture performance including components (dealing with violations, quantity, and quality of issuing permits, renovation of worn-out fabric, implementation of the smart city) performance of urban infrastructure including components (equitable provision of opportunities, public transportation and traffic, improvement of safety and accidents, physical progress and quality of construction projects), performance Municipal and environmental services include components (municipal services on occasions, maintenance of waterways and canals, beautification of urban space, development and maintenance of green spaces, organizing industries and disturbing businesses). Finally, the consequences and results of performance management in municipalities are organizational excellence, stakeholder satisfaction, administrative transparency, public acceptance, improvement of financial and administrative challenges, productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness of the municipality.

To be successful, municipalities should move towards using new and optimal performance management methods. In this sense, municipalities can take advantage of the current research and its results to manage performance at different individual, group, and organizational levels. The current research gives a general view to city managers and by using the identified factors, dimensions, components, and consequences, it is possible to act in the direction of better performance management.

One of the most important prerequisites for economic development and increasing income is export performance which is considered an important source for the overall development of countries' economies. The main purpose of this research was to investigate the factors affecting the non-oil export performance of manufacturing companies in Guilan province. In this regard, on the one hand, providing a model leads to an increase in domestic income, and on the other hand, it will create a favorable environment for the growth of private and small businesses. In developing countries, including Iran, that export oil has always been the axis of economic development and foreign exchange earnings. Therefore, today, the growth of non-oil exports and the increase of the country's share in world trade and international markets in order to reduce the heavy dependence of the economy on oil revenues is considered one of the important economic goals. From this point of view, this research has investigated the drivers of non-oil export development of manufacturing companies in Gilan province and intends to answer this important question; what are the most important drivers of non-oil export development of manufacturing companies in Gilan province?

The research method is mixed research. The statistical population in the qualitative section includes university professors in the field of international trade, executive managers and successful and expert managers in the field of non-oil exports, and in the quantitative section, managers of all companies that export non-oil products in Gilan province. Using the purposeful sampling method, 17 quality department experts and 311 senior managers who had effective responsibility in the manufacturing companies of Gilan province were randomly selected. To measure the validity, two criteria of convergent and divergent validity were used, and in order to check the reliability, two criteria of Cronbach's alpha coefficient and composite reliability were used. The research questionnaires included entrepreneurship, market orientation, organizational learning, organizational innovation, competitive advantage and export performance. In this research, in order to investigate research hypotheses and test direct and indirect paths, structural equation modeling was used using Amos software version 24.

The results showed entrepreneurial orientation (Beta coefficient: 0.288), market orientation (Beta coefficient: 0.181), organizational learning (Beta coefficient: 0.125), organizational innovation (Beta coefficient: 0.232) and competitive advantage (Beta coefficient: 0.234) have a significant effect on the export performance of Guilan companies. Also, entrepreneurial orientation (Beta coefficient: 0.262), market orientation (Beta coefficient: 0.146), organizational learning (Beta coefficient: 0.137) and organizational innovation (Beta coefficient: 0.36) have a significant effect on competitive advantage of Guilan companies. In the other dimension, entrepreneurial orientation (Beta coefficient: 0.387), market orientation (Beta coefficient: 0.275) and organizational learning (Beta coefficient: 0.203) have a significant effect on the organizational innovation of Guilan companies. Finally, entrepreneurial orientation (Beta coefficient: 0.171) and market orientation (Beta coefficient: 0.198) have a significant effect on the organizational learning of these companies.

The results show that entrepreneurial orientation, market orientation, organizational learning and organizational innovation have direct and indirect effects on export performance. Having an entrepreneurial orientation has enabled manufacturing companies to obtain valuable information from the market in the field of non-oil products as well as the market gap in this field, and the organization can better identify market opportunities. The result of such an attitude is organizational learning, higher innovation and successful export performance. Also, the adoption of a market-oriented approach will cause the manufacturing companies of Guilan province to adopt the best response to environmental changes, changes in customers' tastes, as well as unforeseen events, and this preparation and complete study of market trends will create the basis for better performance and gaining a competitive position. It is noteworthy that organizational learning, while acquiring extra-organizational and exploratory knowledge and analyzing this knowledge in order to solve the company's problems (exploitative learning), facilitates the opportunity to create a competitive advantage and, subsequently, continuous export performance. Also, innovation facilitates the creation of a competitive advantage and subsequent higher export performance by focusing on areas such as the development of innovative products in accordance with market needs, technological processes for the production of innovative products, designing new marketing strategies, as well as adapting to unexpected opportunities. Finally, competitive advantage, in turn, is directly related to the availability of resources and core competencies and cost leadership and distinctive strategic strategies. From this point of view, when manufacturing companies are successful in the field of differentiation strategies and cost leadership, on the one hand, they inject products and services that are special and different from their competitors to the target market, and on the other hand, by reducing the costs of producing products, they offer highly competitive prices that leads to a favorable export performance.

The purpose of this research is to design and explain the policy model for the development of electric vehicles in Iran. The research method is fundamental-applicable in terms of purpose, qualitative in terms of implementation, and fundamental-exploratory in terms of nature. The statistical population of the research includes 15 experts and policy makers in the field of automobiles in Iran, and the sampling was done in a targeted manner, and the interviews continued until theoretical saturation was reached. The data collection tool is a semi-structured interview. Data-based method was used to collect and analyze data. Data analysis and model design were done in three stages of open, central and selective coding. For data analysis, MAXQDA 2020 software was used for coding. The results show 435 primary/open codes, 40 concepts and 12 categories (economy and livelihood, transportation electrification, transnational thinking, up-to-date technology, initiative and innovation, market recognition, environmental protection, infrastructural measures, competitiveness economy and industry, risk and challenge, development-oriented governance, strategy and foresight).

Entrepreneurship is a vital part of any society and a driving force for employment, growth and competition, and due to various reasons such as contributing to economic development of countries, creating innovation in the market and providing new job opportunities in any strategic plan has a high priority and has been specially considered by planners and policymakers. The purpose of this delay is to present a strategic entrepreneurship model in the agricultural tourism industry

The research method is mixed or a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. In the qualitative section, 16 academic experts, tourism and entrepreneurship managers and experts with semi-structured interviews were collected using data foundation data theory approach. Sampling was done by theoretical and purposeful method. The statistical population were the quantitative part of business owners and tourism industry activists in West Azerbaijan provinces and the sample size was randomly selected using Cochran formula for unknown communities of 400 people. The data collection method was used by library and field methods and the data collection tool was researcher-made in a small part of the questionnaire. For descriptive statistics and structure discovery from exploratory factor analysis used SPSS25 software, for fitting the model and the relationship between variables and test the relationships between the research variables, to determine the convergent and divergent validity of the structure, confirmatory factor analysis and combined reliability (CR) of structural equations method smart pLs 4 software was used.

The final model of causal conditions (diversification of rural and agricultural economy, tendency to agricultural tourism entrepreneurship and competitiveness of small scale businesses), background category (physical and environmental infrastructure of tourism business, institutional policies and support, self-confidence and risk taking and social and cultural factors), intervening conditions (farmers' or farm owners' initiatives, motivational effects and necessary training), and the strategic entrepreneurship model has been formed in the agricultural tourism industry (networking and using relationships, management and organization and public support) which leads to consequences. The results indicate that if the strategies are implemented, it will lead to four consequences: flourishing work opportunities, income growth and productivity, prosperity and development of tourism entrepreneurship and social and cultural development.

The results of this research showed that agricultural tourism with a strategic entrepreneurial approach leads to achievements or consequences such as prosperity of business opportunities, growth of income and productivity, prosperity and development of tourism entrepreneurship and social and cultural development. Its development is important and unavoidable for the sustainable development of the country and then the economic development of the country. In case of correct implementation of strategies such as networking and using relationships, management and organization and public support, it is possible to achieve its consequences. In addition, social and cultural factors are the most effective factors, motivational effects are the most intervention factors, and public support is the most important strategy in the strategic entrepreneurship model in the agricultural tourism industry.

Increasing development of this type of marketing highlights the necessity for this alignment and synergy. This study aims to identify the factors of e-marketing of commercial organizations that strengthen this type of alignment. The statistical population of this study includes Iranian companies which are active in the field of digital marketing and have received the Enemad. The number of samples was determined via a random sampling method and using the Morgan table as 384 samples. The research data were collected through questionnaires that were provided to managers and e-marketing and planning experts in these companies by e-mail and Google Form. Questionnaire items were designed in two sections: the first one examined the alignment factors in the company, and the second one surveyed the results of its performance through a balanced scorecard. Replied questionnaire analysis was performed using SPSS and Lisrel software. The research method in this study is quantitative and survey. Using the SEM method, a conceptual model for e-marketing alignment and grand strategies of commercial organizations has presented. Performance measurement of organizations that have used alignment factors with the balanced scorecard method in 73% of cases shows better results than other organization.

The research is to broaden the knowledge about the relationship between management control systems and the organization’s strategies in order to design more effective control systems. Since in the current study, the strategy conceptualization is formed in the organizational capabilities’ level –not in the level of strategic choices- the main purpose of the research is to identify suitable control systems for dynamic capabilities development.

Regarding to the main purpose of the study, positivist paradigm, in general, and the contingent approach, in particular, are used and the cross-sectional survey research strategy is developed to examine the relationship between strategy and control system.

The results showed that in dynamic environments, the relational control systems have a positive relationship with organizational dynamic capabilities, organizational capabilities and organizational performance. Moreover, the dynamic tension resulting from simultaneously and equally diagnostic and interactive usage of control systems in dynamic environments has a significant positive relationship with organizational dynamic capabilities, organizational capabilities and organizational performance. Additionally, control system via dynamic capabilities has an effect on formation and development of organizational capabilities and the system could modify the organizational performance through the processes of dynamic capabilities and organizational capabilities development

Proper implementation of the strategy is recognized as one of the key capabilities of organizations in order to achieve the set goals. However, many organizations do not have enough ability to achieve their goals due to the lack of a proper process for implementing the developed strategies. The present study aimed to provide a model for implementing marketing strategy in commercial service organizations and specifically commercial banks.

This research is applied in terms of purpose; In terms of monitoring and control, it is a field and in terms of how to analyze the data, it is a descriptive type. The approach of this research is qualitative and the method of doing it is Delphi technique. The statistical population of this study consists of experts in commercial banks of Bushehr province who have been sampled using the guided method. Data collection tools are semi-structured in-depth interviews and questionnaires.

The results show that 13 internal and external environmental factors consisting of two categories of internal factors and one group of external environmental factors on the correct implementation of marketing strategy in commercial banks. Outcome: Factors affecting the implementation of marketing strategy include: 1- In-system software (including risk management, top management; cross-sectoral relationships; top management commitment; strategy implementation knowledge; leadership tactics; employee and organization interests alignment; planning; organizational coordination ; Organizational culture), 2- hardware factors within the organization (including technology and organizational structure) and 3- external environmental factors (including environmental information and government laws and regulations).

There must be strategic thinking for strategic planning. The purpose of the present study is to understand the experiences of planners, executives and strategic control of customs and to understand the place of strategic thinking. Therefore, considering the strategic planning in the Customs of Iran, this research seeks to find out what position of critical and important strategic thinking variable among strategic planners, users and controllers? Do participants and users of strategic planning have a depth of strategic thinking? The community under study is involved in strategic planning at customs, describing and describing their experiences. Purposeful sampling was used to select the subjects (18 programmers and presenters) then required data with semi-structured individual interview (20-30 minutes) in the time frame of 30/1/98 until 12/3/1398. Research findings were categorized into five basic concepts using the Dikelman analysis method and Lidka's strategic thinking model. These concepts are: "Systematic attitude", "Strategic determination", "Advancement based on scientific approach", "Intelligent opportunism", and "Thinking in time" The research results show that strategic thinking is a key element in formulating and implementing The control is strategic planning and this variable has not been as well considered in the strategic planning of customs.

One of the most important issues in any country and organization is the issue of control, which is referred to as strategic control in strategic management. What is most needed today in strategic and macro policies is a strategic control model that addresses different aspects of the control problem and can control strategic points. Different models have been designed to date in the field of strategic control. In the present study, 22 available strategic designed control models were studied to obtain a hybrid model for strategic control at macro level. Models were selected and studied using the Hyperlink method, which has seven basic steps. Out of 22 investigated models, 129 components were identified and finally a comprehensive hybrid model, which is a systematic model, was presented. This model has inputs, processes, outputs, outputs and feedbacks, and each part of the system has its own subsets that are expressed in the final model.

The purpose of this study was to design and develop a model for assessing the amount and type of dominant strategic control in organizations, and in assessing the appropriateness of the strategic control type and its appropriateness with the logic of the organization's value creation. It seems that with the predominance of a kind of strategic control in an organization and the imbalance of the organization in the organization, the survival of the threatened organization and the assessment of the strategic control dimensions appropriate to the logic of value creation is necessary. So far, much research has failed to address this issue, and this field study has taken a step towards removing this knowledge gap. The present study is a mixed study. In the qualitative analysis of data, the method was transcendental and in the quantitative analysis section, structural equation modeling was used. The model qualitative findings revealed two parts of strategic behavioral and content control. In the quantitative part, the leading research is a cross-sectional descriptive survey. In this study, 279 employees from nine organizations with a region of value creation service, production, and social welfare were studied by random stratified sampling. Based on the scientific literature of strategic control, a 31-question questionnaire was designed and its validity and reliability were evaluated and verified, and after the strategic justification period, a research sample was distributed. The findings of the research indicate that the proposed structure is suitable for fitting. The results of the research show that there is a significant difference in the use of economic control and ethnic-cultural control among the manufacturing, service and social welfare organizations, but there was no significant difference in the use of other controls among the organizations.

Nowadays, competition in various business environments requires confrontation with plenty of opportunities and challenges. It is therefore necessary for the managers to apply some strategic control model for the purpose of predicting, effective strategic guidance of the organization as well as timely control and response to the movements of the rivals and environmental developments. Such a strategic control model should be able to turn the strategic control to a continuous, internal and ongoing stream in addition to guaranteeing the survival of the organization and realization of the organizational goals. The present research is an attempt to explain the pattern of strategic control with a self-control approach using qualitative research method and grounded theory. Data sampling has been made using purposeful and snowball sampling methods. Semi-structured interviews have been used as the tool for gathering data and data analysis has been carried out using grounded theory paradigmatic model. The results confirm that the main category is" implementation of strategic control in the organization with an internal look to strategic control (self-control)" which has been developed by the causal factors and through strategies affected by the set of contextual and intervening factors, it results in the realization of two types of main consequences (individual and organizational consequences).

One of the main concerns of achieving an ambidextrous organization, is the determining of ambidextrous innovation features. In fact, finding the appropriate response which ones are the components and features of innovation in each of corporate strategic management approaches, forms the main purpose of designing and explaining the ambidextrous innovation in this research. In this study, structural equation modeling was used to design and explain the interactive model of this study while conducting library studies and using expert opinions. Accordingly, the model of ambidextrous innovation was shown in the 4 key components of Sectional, continuous, Revolutionary and Interactive innovation and 12 observed variables. The results of applying the proposed methodology in a Defense Holding firm are indicative of fit and acceptable validity of graphic relationships in the interactive model of this study.

The strategy implementation is a dynamic, repetitive, complex process that is undertaken to achieve strategic goals by turning the strategic plans into tangible realities. This process is affected by the set of decisions made and actions taken by managers and employees of the organization. As such, it is necessary to develop a comprehensive and well-tailored model for strategy implementation that helps managers lead the organization toward appropriate implementation of the strategies. On this basis, the present research seeks to adopt a grounded theory-based qualitative methodology to describe such a model. In this work, the required samples were taken via a purposive, theoretical, snowball sampling approach. Using deep interviews as a research instrument for data collection, the collected data was analyzed using the grounded theory paradigm model. Accordingly, considering the repetitions, a total of 134 initial codes were extracted from the transcripts of the interviews. Investigating the associated concepts, we identified 21 categories, out of which 6 primary categories were ultimately recognized upon selective coding. The obtained results Confirmed that, activating such mechanisms as strategic management of strategic implementation across the organization and careful monitoring of different steps of the process, implementation of strategies across organizations via an integrated approach formed on the basis of causal, contextual, and interventional factors leads to two principle achievements, namely implementation of target strategies across the organization and, consequently, achievement of the organizational visions and missions along with improved performance of the organization because of enhanced agility and efficiency of activities across the organization.

 One of the main concerns of policymakers is the establishment of health equity and access to health services. Health system reform plan is one of the most important tools of policy makers in the health system. The health system, as any other plan has had some problems during implementation. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify the obstacles to the development of the health system from the perspective of the project implementers. This study is a Practical study using descriptive- correlational method. In this study, 52 people were selected by Convenience Sampling method. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire containing 33 items. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS21 and LISREL8.8 software. To test the hypotheses, one-sample t-test and Friedman test were used. The results showed that among the three barriers introduced (policymakers, executive organization, and implementers), the implementers and users with the average score of 4.12, had the highest priority, and the policymakers with an average of 3.08, had the lowest dedicated priority. In other words, respondents have selected administrators' barriers as the most important barrier to the failure to implement the health system reform plan. The results of the research indicate that the conceptual model of this research is compatible with the collected data and the barriers related to the policy makers, executive organization, and implementers, are related with health system reform plan. In other words, all of the research hypotheses have been approved.

Today many management science experts acknowledge that although formulating a strategic plan and a statement of missions, views, and goals are the organization managers’ significant responsibilities, they would not be sufficient to achieve a strategic success. Actually, the strategic control is considered as the final step in the strategic management process which plays the role of an appropriate performance warrantee for this process as a whole. This would be of a greater significance especially in the insurance industry as an effective factor for economical development of countries and an effective instrument in risk management. Therefore, utilizing the combined approach, the current study has identified and explained the effective factors influencing on the strategic controls associated with a self-control approach in the insurance industry. The data-based approach is applied to the qualitative part of this research. Accordingly, when the process is accomplished, 6 main items would be identified and presented in the form of the strategic control patterns.
