Supply chains that are meant to survive must be able to cope with disruptions. The COVID-19 pandemic was one of the most important disruptions that could cause a ripple effect in the supply chain. A ripple effect refers to a disruption that affects other parts of the supply chain like a domino effect, and while the probability of its occurrence is low, its impact is high. This study aims to identify the key success factors for coping with the ripple effect in Iran's machine-made carpet supply chain. In this research, the critical success factors were identified based on in-depth interviews. Then, using the fuzzy cognitive map approach, a model of the critical success factors was created. The statistical population of this research consists of experts in the machine-made carpet industry. The findings showed that there are 23 critical success factors to cope with the ripple effect in the machine-made carpet supply chain. Among them, "supply chain digitization", "capable and efficient managers", and "supply chain collaboration" were identified as the most essential influencing factors, while "supply chain collaboration", "proper planning", and "flexibility in production" were identified as the most important central factors that require special attention. Therefore, policymakers are recommended to focus on enhancing these areas by promoting business intelligence and supply chain management, making universities more mission-oriented, organizing empowerment workshops for managers, and removing supply chain behavioral barriers.

Iran’s defense against Iraq in the war indicates a military practice on the basis of “Jihad in Islam”. Iran nation won, and created its special culture as well. This culture is a jihad-oriented combination of epic and theosophy, balanced by different dimensions of religious beliefs. The holy defense culture is a validated model not copied from out of the country, but it originates in Islamic Iranian mentalities. Therefore, its attributes can be used to clarify the core values of the country’s development programs. For this objective, the paper believes the cultural model obtained in the holy defense is a complete validated model. This paper aims at identifying the holy defense culture attributes and specifying the core values to meet the goals of the country development programs. Research method is analytical and descriptive, and the data gathering falls into libraries studies and interview. The results present the top ten attributes are Islamic thinking and divinity, belief and spiritusoity, abnegation and jihad mentality, management and leadership, people and youth, leadership guidance, solidarity and team work, creativity and innovation, engineering and scientific management, and resistance and endurance.

Information and communication technologies and their role in the economic growth of the country are one of the important concepts in sustainable development. In fact, information and communication technology are the motivation of globalization in the fields of culture, politics, economy, and society. This has a considerable effect on the advent of network society and inter-country awareness and it is the driving factor of global markets. According to the growth and development of academic research in the field of high technologies, SMEs play an important role in encouragement of entrepreneurship and economic prosperity in countries. Therefore, it is necessary to answer the question of what factors will lead to the growth and success of these companies in the field of information and communication technology.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK:

 Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is the consequence of the interaction of three distinct parts of a computer: information, communications, and telecommunications. The computer sector is considered the hardware and supplier of equipment and tools for ICT. Data and information flow as other pronouns and raw materials within the network. Telecommunication is the third part, which is responsible for establishment of communication between the other two parts. What is ultimately the combination of the three parts is called "information," which is used in different areas. Critical Success Factors (CSFs) are essential tools for identification of the set of activities that need to be done in order to achieve your business goals and missions. (CSFs) are a limited number of key factors in which achieving results guarantees the competitive performance of the organization, and if the results obtained in them are not satisfactory, the efforts of the organization in the desired period of time will not be satisfactory. The organization's strategic goals and missions focus on the goals and what needs to be achieved; CSFs, on the other hand, focus on the most important factors influencing what and how to achieve.

METHODOLIGY:

This paper discusses "success" in information and communication technology (ICT) standards setting. The Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) method was used to analyze data and prioritize the factors effective in the success of ICT’s companies. In this respect, 21 criteria in 5 different categories were extracted by using the expert’s opinion and previous research, and then were evaluated in the vicinity of the capital of Iran (Qom).

   Focusing on internal organization management and establishing cordiality atmosphere among the employees to enhance teamwork and increase trust between them are the most basic and the most important factors in critical success of a company. Broadly speaking, development from the technical, high financial income and marketing aspect is the consequence of correct organization and management of corporation and its employees that if focused, can be helpful for the business. One of the major differences between this research and the previous ones is using native effective factors and comparing them with general key factors in other countries. Results showed that in-company management factors, technological and marketing factors, financial costs, governmental policies, and native features were the most important main criteria. The employee involvement and team work, focus on the customer’s needs, the state of the economy, conflict of interest between governmental and private sectors, and industrialization of the province were chosen as the most important sub-criteria effective on the success of the ICTI’s companies. 

CONCLUSIONS & SUGGESTIONS:

Intra-organizational factors are more important than external ones, such as the government’s policies, rules, and native features. It is worthwhile for the managers and founders of ICT firms to consider and prioritize these factors to be able to achieve success. For future research, the effect of the components on each other can be studied using ANP, and different methods such as SAW, TOPSIS, and ELECTRE can be used to prioritize the criteria. The results could be compared with each other. Studying the effects of local factors in other provinces of the country can also lead to different results.

With the growth of technology, the Internet of Things and its entry into industries and businesses is considered an important issue. Identifying factors that can contribute to the success of the Internet of Things is very important for decision makers. Considering this issue and since the conceptual model for the critical success factors of the Internet of Things at the supply chain level of Iranian businesses has not been presented so far, the aim of this research is to identify the critical success factors of the Internet of Things at the level of the supply chain of Iranian businesses, to present the model and future scenarios. For this purpose, the current research was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, an in-depth interview was conducted with 15 industrial and academic experts. A number of 41 codes were identified, which were categorized into 12 main critical factors. In the second phase of the research, the questionnaire made by the researcher according to the results of the first phase was provided to the experts. The statistical population of the second phase included 12 industrial and academic experts. Finally, by analyzing the data (influence rate, effectiveness and centrality) and analyzing forward and backward scenarios, the themes of supply chain hardware readiness, correct financial attitude in the supply chain, supply chain software readiness, training and preparation of managers were more important among other themes.

In today's turbulent economic environment, companies are struggling to find ways to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. One of these methods is supply chain management to reduce costs and improve performance to create a competitive advantage and business success. The purpose of this study is on how to use supply chain management by pharmaceutical distribution companies in Iran and its role in the success and competitiveness of companies. The method used in the research is a mixed method (qualitative and quantitative). Data collection in the qualitative section was done during an in-depth interview with 30 experts from Iran's top pharmaceutical distribution companies, based on which categories were extracted; Then, in the axial coding stage, the link between these categories was made based on the study of causal conditions and its effect on the central phenomenon of "drug distribution chain management strategy development", as well as the effect of contextual conditions and intermediate conditions on strategic factors The format of the coding paradigm was determined; Then, in the selective coding stage, each component of the coding paradigm was described, the storyline was drawn, and the theory was created; Finally, the research propositions of the research were compiled. In the quantitative stage, the questionnaires were distributed among the top 16 drug distribution companies and the model extracted from the quality section was tested with the help of partial least squares software. Finally, the mentioned model and the hypotheses were confirmed.

The primary purpose of the present study is to determine Critical Success Factors (CSFs) of Business Continuity Management (BCM) in the Iranian petrochemical industry. Based on an in-depth review of previous studies, the sub-factors affecting BCM were extracted. Then, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were applied to identify and verify the CSFs of BCM. The results demonstrate the significance of nine CSFs as follows: “business continuity strategy”, “contingency planning”, “crisis management”, “emergency management”, “enterprise risk management”, “disaster recovery”, “business continuity culture”, senior management commitment and support”, and “business impact analysis”. As this study was performed in the Iranian petrochemical industry, caution should be taken on the generalization of our findings. Practical implications - The identified CSFs could provide useful insights to successfully implement BCM for the managers of the surveyed organizations, especially, and other organizations in general. This research could develop theoretical literature on the CSFs of BCM and create a deep insight into the implementation of BCM.

Critical Success Factors in a variety of issues are important because they help managers and key stakeholders of the organization focus on specific issues rather than focusing on the multiple types of environmental variables and make the organization's capabilities more efficient. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of Critical success factors on the performance of the internal audit system. In this study, Critical success factors and performance evaluation model, based on Rajabi study (2019) are considered. Accordingly, the statistical population of this research is all 32 active and present companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange in the field of oil, gas and petrochemical in 1397. Given the presence of 3 to 5 members of the board of directors and the audit committee of these companies, the total number of samples or individuals is 265 persons, of  the questionnaires distributed among these individuals,185 healthy questionnaires were tested. Factor analysis and regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The results show that all three behavioral, contextual and structural components of critical success factors influence the performance of the internal audit system, but the structural component has a greater impact on performance than other components. The results also showed that in terms of behavioral component, Comprehensive Communication Resources Index, in terms of contextual component, Indicator of Out-of-Organization Financing required and in the structural component, the information systems upgrade index has a greater impact on performance.

Today, one of the strategic issues in Iran is to provide a platform for the use of knowledge, the passage of oil economy and the leap in production. The knowledge-based economy has been reflected in the words of the country's elders for many years, including the Supreme Leader and upstream documents. The component of the movement towards the production leap of knowledge-based companies. The aim of this study was to identify the critical success factors of knowledge-based companies using Q method and the research discourse space includes three areas of upstream articles and documents, speeches of elders and in-depth interviews with experts in the field of knowledge-based companies. As a result of this study, 237 factors were identified, which were reduced to 74 factors to confirm the validity and reliability of the findings. The validity of the findings was confirmed by referring to experts again and the reliability with Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.81. The next step was the Q1 forced selection table by 111 experts, and during the analysis of these tables through factor loading, eight perspectives including strategic approach, attitude to infrastructure and investment and financial activities, research and development attitude, interest attitude Productivity and product improvement aspects, attitudes toward marketing and customer orientation and branding, attitudes toward legal issues and intellectual property, attitudes toward leadership and manager characteristics, attitudes toward human resources were identified.

The defense industry of Iran has developed the technological capabilities required by its various departments during the technological catch-up process, which in some cases, has led to the elimination of the existing technological gap and the increase of Iran's competitiveness in the field of defense. However, a successful technological catch-up requires the identification of critical factors in various defense industries, such as the marine industry. In this regard, the purpose of this research is to identify and explain the critical factors of technological catch-up success factors in the marine industry of the defense sector. In this exploratory and qualitative research, first of all, regardless of the specific industry or field, the vital factors of technological catch-up have been extracted from the theoretical foundations and research background. Then, using the grounded theory strategy and relying on interviews with experts, the findings of the first step are examined in the marine industry of the defense sector. Accordingly, the critical success factors of the aforementioned industries, consist of supporting industry and domestic production, strengthening the role of skilled human resources, formulating appropriate laws and regulations, spreading the culture of self-confidence, strengthening the technological capability of the defense industry, promoting formal learning, strengthening the role of ownership, and strengthening the role of research centers
