Today, entrepreneurship goes beyond the realm of business and is also meaningful in the social, political, cultural, moral, and other fields. Social entrepreneurship involves creating economic and social value in an innovative way. The aim of this study is to investigate and explore social entrepreneurship models using meta synthesis method. Thus, after referring to the sites “Google Scholar” and “Scopus” in the period 2000 to 2022, among the many scientific articles, 35 suitable articles were identified. The validity of the proposed concepts, the hybrid outputs, and the concepts generated by the Delphi panel technique have been categorized and validated by a group of elites. In order to analyze the concepts, dimensions and influential components, the content analysis method has been used. Findings indicate the development of social entrepreneurship dimensions in the form of five general categories: “multilevel innovation”, “social value creation”, “ecology and design of social business model”, “definition of the role of social entrepreneur” and “employment and income generation”.

Innovation capacity is a key element in the continuity of innovation and growth and survival in firms. Despite extensive studies of innovation capacity, there is little agreement on the components of this concept. Accurate knowledge of innovation capacity components is essential because of its importance in achieving higher performance in innovation. The present study has identified and explained the components of the concept of innovation capacity using the beyond method. To this end, a systematic review of the research background was conducted for the common dimensions of previous research, and by selecting 31 quality research in the field of study, 33 codes، 14 concepts and 4 components of innovation capacity were identified and labeled. The results of this research show that the components of the technical and intellectual component, human, environmental, background and organizational, are effective in improving the capacity of innovation. It is possible to achieve a technical and intellectual component by strengthening research and development and information and communication technology. The human component is realized by improving learning, culture and the quality of human capital. Improving the environmental and contextual component is possible by improving the macroeconomic-social environment, the state of competition and the market, and access to urban facilities. The organizational component of innovation capacity is achieved through collaboration, networking, knowledge management, financial resource allocation, entrepreneurship, improving the overall performance of the organization and the performance of organizational managers.

Investigating and solving the problem of innovative research at universities can help improve the role of these institutions in developing technology and knowledge exchange among different social and economic audiences as well as contribute to more effective interactions between universities and society. The purpose of this article is to identify and report innovation in the field of research, technology, and knowledge exchange in major universities located in Tehran. This research has been carried out quantitatively based on institutional registration data in two steps. First, the components of the model or conceptual framework were identified through an unsystematic review of the documents. The components include innovation in inputs, processes, and outputs. Inputs encompass human and financial resources aw well as infrastructure; processes involve structures, organizations, mechanisms, and procedures; and outputs comprise of creation and application of knowledge and technology, demand-oriented research projects, the quantity and quality of published scientific articles, books, journals, faculty members' scientific ranks, honors they possess, the expansion of postgraduate education, technological units, start-ups, knowledge-based companies and accelerators, international scientific mobility, and income in the field of research, technology, and knowledge exchange. Second, the state of innovation in eight universities under study has been analyzed in the context of research, technology, and knowledge exchange. In these universities, innovation was found to exist in both concept and perspective: innovation in the research and technology system and its elements and components, and the support of universities and the university research and technology system for transformation and innovation to address stagnation, stasis, and recession. Universities have undergone significant transformation and innovation in research inputs, processes, and outputs, technology, and knowledge exchange, hence, they actively support and promote innovation.

Architecture, as a knowledge that provides a suitable space for human life, is so intertwined with the various dimensions of human existence that any creativity in it due to its vastness and complexity, inevitably pay attention to a wide range of disciplines and fields of knowledge. Thus, creativity in architecture is inherently an interdisciplinary category, and any analysis and evaluation will be inefficient and ineffective without considering this feature. This descriptive-analytical research aims to provide an interdisciplinary model for measuring the architectural creativity using the logical reasoning process. According to its findings, measuring the creativity of architecture with an interdisciplinary approach is the application of different sciences to achieve an integrated knowledge in order to evaluate the novelty of solutions offered by architecture to meet different human needs to live in that space. Accordingly, creativity has two basic dimensions of innovation and usefulness. According to the model proposed in this article, in order to measure architectural creativity, first the human needs and desires of an architecture with a specific use should be determined, then the level of satisfaction with its responses should be measured according to the needs. In the next stage, architectural innovation is evaluated to meet these needs in a 7-step range of materials used (minimum innovation) to create a new function (maximum innovation).

The aim of this study is to identify creative management styles in universities and examine their role in creating innovative businesses. Given the importance of innovation in educational environments and the impact of management styles on creativity, this research seeks to provide strategies to enhance these factors in universities.  This research is descriptive-survey in terms of methodology and applied in terms of purpose. The statistical population included 180 managers, professors, and staff from the Entrepreneurship Faculty of the University of Tehran and the Management and Psychology Faculties of Islamic Azad University, Karaj Branch. Stratified random sampling was used, and based on the Krejcie-Morgan table, 152 individuals were selected as the sample. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire designed and developed based on standard questionnaires. Pearson correlation and multiple regression tests were used to analyze the data with SPSS-27 software.  The results showed that participatory management style (r = 0.67, p < 0.01) and coaching management style (r = 0.83, p < 0.01) are significantly related to innovation in innovative businesses. The regression model indicated that both management styles significantly predict innovation (F = 56.78, p < 0.01, R² = 0.79). The multiple regression results showed that participatory management style (B = 0.55, β = 0.46, p < 0.01) and coaching management style (B = 0.73, β = 0.62, p < 0.01) have a significant impact on business innovation.  The findings of this study highlight the importance of participatory and coaching management styles in enhancing innovation and creativity in academic environments. University managers can adopt these management styles to create a creative and innovative environment that supports the development of innovative businesses.

The university is not only one of the main and well-known components of most innovation ecosystems, but sometimes it is the core of the formation and development of an ecosystem. Identifying the factors affecting the formation and growth of a university-based innovation ecosystem is the main goal of this study. This qualitative study identifies the factors influencing the formation of university-based innovation ecosystems in developed countries by comparing them with a sample of these ecosystems in Iran as a developing country (Innovation Ecosystem of Sharif Industry). The specific challenges of this ecosystem and the alternative solutions used in it are identified and the formation pattern of this innovation ecosystem is explained. Data analysis of this study is theme analysis, and a network of factors affecting the formation of these ecosystems is formed. Based on the results of this research, the factors are classified into 4 main categories, including the type of collaborations, the way of institutionalization, activities, and characteristics of actors.

The existence of information and communication technology infrastructures such as landline phones, mobile phones, internet and broadband has made it possible for individuals, companies and governments to have better access to information, knowledge and technical skills on a large scale and at high speed. Hence, it is argued that the development of information and communication technology has fundamentally improved the efficiency of resource allocation, markedly reduced production costs, which are a constant concern of companies, and increasingly provided opportunities for investment in all economic sectors.ICT is one of the top four industries in the category of healthcare, agriculture and public services due to its wide applicability in various businesses. Especially, the speed of its penetration and widespread use by the mass of people, along with the aforementioned characteristics and potentials, have caused many governments to prepare extensive programs to improve the level of health, education and government services to citizens by creating funds for the development of the infrastructure of the information and communication technology industry. Allocation of financial resources and changes in existing laws and regulations are part of these programs.Due to the increasing importance of information and communication technology in global developments, researchers have paid great attention to the development effects at the national and business levels. There is a general consensus in the literature that technologies have a broad positive effect on economic and social development. This tendency has led to extensive measures to use information and communication technology for development goals such as economic growth, wealth production, wealth distribution, poverty reduction, expansion of educational opportunities, promotion of health services and access to public/government services.  Although related literature emphasizes its key role in accelerating economic growth, some researchers' arguments emphasize mixed results. While some writers point to a positive effect in developed countries, others do not consider this to be a general rule. They believe, especially in underdeveloped regions, the effects are negative.Based on these two different approaches, this article deals with the impact of information and communication technology on development. Based on a theoretical background, first of all, it is argued that communication is the basis of change and development of human society. Hence, the development of new technologies is associated with developmental consequences. Then, based on the empirical evidence regarding the penetration and expansion of digital technologies in the current world, it is suggested, these technologies cause extensive developmental consequences, mainly due to the higher intensity and speed of their impact. It is concluded that although information and communication technology apparently have positive development effects, their expansion, like other technologies, has social and environmental side effects that are rooted in the structure of the industry itself, the existing unequal social structure, and the facilitation of criminal and illicit activities.

Moving towards creating and realizing a creative city is very necessary and important; because cities are the places in which knowledge societies are formed, and they are very important in economic development. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to present and model of a creative city in Tehran metropolis. Considering the factors under study, it is an applied research; and its method of review is descriptive-analytic. The statistical population includes Tehran’s 22 municipal districts. Using secondary data, receiving questionnaire from Tehran citizens, creative city indicators in Tehran’s 22 municipal districts have been ranked and graded based on 19 factors of creative city index. according to the results of the TOPSIS model, assessed based on three classifications including privileged, semi-privileged (moderate), and under-privileged (poor). The results show that districts 2, 4, 5, 6, and 22 with an average coefficient of 5 were the first in terms of possessing the factors leading to realization of the creative city. Districts 1, 14,15,8,3,12,11,10,20, and 21 with an average coefficient of 0.404 were the next, namely semi-privileged (moderate). Districts 7, 18, 16,13,19,17 and 9 with an average coefficient of 0.223 came last. the results of network analysis model, the innovation criterion has the greatest impact (0.265) on moving a neighborhood towards a creative one in Tehran. Two indicators namely “the number of centers for science and technology” and “the number of inventions” played the most active role in the realization of the creative city of Tehran with 0.035 and 0.032 respectively.

Institutional development of people, which is the subject of study in this research, as one of the main concerns that includes various economic, social and cultural dimensions, is one of the areas of attention of national governments and local governments. In this study, using the "grounded theory" strategy, about 63 economic activists were interviewed in the field under study, of which 58 interviews were suitable for conducting research and were reported. The answers obtained from this interview and coding process clearly explain that the components of place identity through the main category, namely "Grassroots' creativity and innovation" with the realization of satisfaction with the products [among the "audiences" or In other words, "customers" achieve the three main goals of financial productivity, social solidarity and cultural determination. A strategy that results in a process model [cognition-perception-behavior]. Of course, the mentioned path is not simple and one-line, and "background conditions" and "intervening conditions" play a role in this path step by step: "background conditions" are actually the environmental platforms that are the fields of power and or they provide the weakness of this mechanism, which include: "value components", "advertising strategies", "human capital", "institutional policies", "financial potentials". "Intervening conditions" are types of external stimuli that can play a role in strengthening or weakening the mentioned mechanism. Intervening conditions in this mechanism can be divided into three parts: "class representation", "localization", "quality", "taste-making cultural consumption".

In this article, the nature, definitions and relationship between creativity and innovation are examined and strategies for its development in public relations are studied through documentary methods. Far from creativity and innovation, public relations is introduced in this article as an institution without dynamism and caught in the problems caused by everyday life. The purpose of writing is the pathology of the growth of creativity and innovation in a scientific and practical way in public relations. In this research, different types of creativity and innovation in public relations are extracted and the work areas and tasks of this communication institution under the influence of creative and innovative mind are introduced. The role of managers in the creativity and innovation of public relations agents, along with suggestions for managers' behaviors in this regard, is one of the findings of this article. The present article insists on the individual and psychological role of the public relations agent in creating creative and innovative thinking in himself and introduces individual and psychological barriers along with social barriers as the most important barriers to the growth and flourishing of creativity and innovation in public relations. The role of creative and innovative thinking in the implementation of various techniques with the aim of preparing, organizing and implementing a coherent and successful public relations program is also examined in this article.

The purpose of this study is to determine the role of intellectual capital on performance in knowledge-based defense organizations. The conceptual model and hypotheses of this research are presented based on a review of the theoretical literature and research background, and the required data were collected through the distribution of a questionnaire among the managers of a defense-based organization. The conceptual model of the research was tested using the structural equation modeling method and based on the collected data. The results showed that the dimensions of intellectual capital, including human capital and relational capital, both directly and indirectly affect the performance of the organization through the mediating role of the innovation variable. Also, structural capital affects the performance of the organization only indirectly and through the effect on organizational innovation.

The aim of this article is to design a charismatic organization model for IRIB by considering the causal conditions, underlying factors & existing interveners. This research is opting to concentrate on theoretical framework of charismatic organization management, and tries to answer this question that: How can a media organization present itself as a charismatic organization to become distinguishable? To achieve this, by using a qualitative methodology and systematic data mining, journalists, senior managers & faculty members of IRIB were interviewed. By an approach of theoretical sampling, helping us to have access to key concepts and their impacts, data repeating was continued. On the whole, 74 concepts in relation to issues of systematic data mining were extracted. According to outcomes, Trust, Transparency, Innovation and Social Capital play a pivotal role in relation to other issues & sub-issues. Amidst these, Social Capital has sub-categories such as: Organizational Culture, Sense of Responsibility, Job-fit, Trust Building and self –governing teams. The casual conditions and factors are: Organizational Structure, Organizational Mission & Nature, Concepts Reform, Designing Think Tanks, Manager’s Commitment and Convergence. These are the key elements being counted. Supervisory approach of the constitution, the intervention of governmental institutions, taste, the extent of popularity in internal levels & among audience, and the nature of vertical management are the obstacles of verifying charismatic model for this media organization.

The purpose of this study was to identify innovation capacity in Information and communication technology-based firms. In this descriptive and analytical study, the research method was quantitative-qualitative, which was performed in two parts. The first part was done qualitatively through a literature review and interviews with nine policy makers, experts, and managers of companies in the field of information and communication technology. In the second part, the model obtained from the previous stage was surveyed by distributing a questionnaire among 275 companies active in this field to assess the validity of the proposed model. In this research, the most important organizational factors affecting innovation capacity were collaboration and communication, resources of the idea, individual factors, organizational culture, strategies and technology management, knowledge management and organizational learning, and allocation of resources to innovation. In addition, the environmental factors affecting the innovation capacity were respectively institutional support, macroeconomic factors, and the firm location. The innovation outcomes, market outcomes, financial outcomes, and human outcomes were also the most important indicators of innovation capacity measurement. Additionally, environmental factors in promoting the innovation capacity of ICT firms were more important than organizational factors. The reason for this significance seems to be the high impacts of economic growth, stability, competitiveness, and government support for innovation on ICT NTBFs.

A UN report has identified three ten-year development waves of science, technology and innovation policies in Iran since the beginning of the 1990s. The first wave focused on the development of higher education, the second on the development of research and technology, and the third on the knowledge and innovation–based economy. Thus, the ground and emergence of startups became fertile since the early 90s. A review of internal and external studies and articles on the success and failure of startups indicates a lack of sociological vision and approach and therefore this issue is the main reason for our study. A qualitative method was applied in the study in order to understand the biological world and social attitudes of actors of this ecosystem. Our most important tool was in-depth interviews with people with their narrative and firsthand experiences, then, they were categorized, sorted, and conceptualized (taking into account Clark and Brown's six-step inductive method). The statistical population included six managers and startup owners, two of accelerator managers and six associates. After summarizing and categorizing the findings, we obtained 5 groups of variables (themes) named PESTE where P is for Politics, E for Economy, S for Socio-cultural, T for Technology and E is the sign of Education. Since social ecology of startups in Iran and the world at large are very new and fledgling, but with their application to the modern world, they are certainly very complex and multifaceted, hence, it will definitely encounter failure if one of its five pillars are not fit and accompany each other.

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.

While most studies that has been done about organizational performance organizational capabilities investi-gate the effects of marketing, innovation and learning capabilities (often separately) on organizational perfor-mance, an integrated model has been developed in this study to assess the effects of these capabilities on performance of insurance companies. Moreover the complimentary effect of the organizational capabilities also has been investigated in this study. Using resource-based view and the method of capitation of all insur-ance companies in Iran, 23 private and governmental insurance companies in Iran have been investigated. The findings of the analyses data with the method of Partial Least Squares and using SmartPLS software (this software analyses the data even for very small samples), show that marketing, innovation and learning capa-bilities have positive correlation with the performance of insurance companies. In addition, the capabilities are complimentary with together and create a synergy in achieving the performance of insurance companies.

The distinguishing feature of Adonis from his counterparts in the Arab and Iranian worlds is his attention to the various dimensions of the Islamic tradition and the context in which Arabic poetry was formed. He believes that any fundamental critique of the structure of poetry depends on the knowledge of the sources that inspired it. The author has written this article with the aim of making the audience aware of Adonis’s ideas in the field of Islamic culture. In order to achieve this goal, after introducing Adonis, he explains the meaning of “fixed” and “transformed” in his thought. In addition, it presents examples of imitation and innovation in Islamic culture in Adoni’s views in the field of politics, poetry and literature, and so on. Finally, by stating that critiques of Adonis’s views on Islamic tradition and culture have been written, he points to cases that have not been addressed in current critiques.

The proper understanding of the role of universities in innovation is one of the requirements for policy making. Without this understanding, policy actions can undermine the role of universities and neglecting the capacities and benefits of this institution in the development of innovation.The Promotion Regulations as one of the most important and most relevant policy documents related to the university in the country are required based on a proper understanding of the role of universities in innovation. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the understanding and perspective of the Promotion Regulations about the role of universities in innovation. This research is a documentary research, and its methodology consist of two parts of the metha-synthesis and then a documentary analysis of the Promotion Regulations based on the theoretical framework developed in the first part. Research results show that universities have a small share of direct participation in innovation, but universities are generally indirectly involved in the development of innovation through a variety of channels. However, the promotion regulations relate only to a number of channels, including publication of the article and educational activities, and ignores the importance of other channels. To enhance the comprehensiveness and balance of the regulations to cover the more effective coverage of the universities' participation channels in the development of innovation, paying more attention to interactive channels and increasing the flexibility of the regulations are the policy suggestions derived from this research.
