 This research deals with the problem of innovation and optimization of providing services related to the library stack to facilitate the restoration and accurate arrangement of books and the protection and maintenance of resources. In this regard, the innovative book locator device tool has been evaluated in libraries. To achieve the goal of this research, an experimental method has been used. The type of this research is also applied. Data collection was done through the distribution of two types of questionnaires "pre-test" and "post-test" in two stages with a time interval of two months. To collect this information, 50 employees working in the stack of target libraries participated in the period of December 2020 to February 2022. The target community of this research included 10 important libraries in Tehran which had similar sections and the same row. Therefore 50 book locator devices were produced and their use was tested for 60 days. The main components of this research on the effectiveness of using the book locator device to solve book stack problems are: reducing waste of time, reducing the amount of disorganized resources, reducing depreciation of resources, reducing empty places of books and archival items, and increasing accuracy in the exact arrangement of resources. Questionnaire data was collected using a control group and a Likert scale test. The reliability of the research was confirmed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient higher than 0.7. Finally, the answers were analyzed using Excel and SPSS software. The results of this research showed that more than 71 percent of the statistical population of the research consider the use of the book locator device to reduce the depreciation of books in the library stack to be effective. Also, the use of the book locator device has solved 98 percent of the problems related to displacement and mistakes in the arrangement of books in the library stack. After testing the book locator device, 87 percent of users mentioned that the correct and accurate arrangement of books on the shelf saves time and increases work speed. Additionally, 96 percent of sample individuals reported that, during book returns, the flashing light of the book locator device increases work speed and attracts librarian attention. The results of this research showed that none of the studied libraries have a book locator device and the arrangement of books is done by librarians. 90 percent of people participating in the research evaluated the book locator device as a useful tool which indicates the efficiency of this device in the library environment. In general, the use of the book locator device is an example of innovation and creativity in the stack of libraries and can have general and practical aspects and help to increase the efficiency in the management of library resources.

Future libraries may be significantly different from what is currently observed. The concept of a "smart library" could serve as a new and appropriate name for them. A smart library is an option to stay in the game and defend the essential assets of the library in the future smart society. The aim of the present study is to explore the dimensions and components of smart libraries by examining and analyzing texts in the field of smart libraries.

This qualitative research was conducted using the meta-synthesis method based on the seven-step model of Sandelowski and Barroso. Relevant scientific articles and publications on smart libraries were searched in reputable scientific databases without time and language restrictions, and a total of 1800 articles were retrieved. After removing duplicate titles and irrelevant articles, 194 articles were finally analyzed to identify the dimensions and components of smart libraries. Content analysis of texts was also performed using the MAXQDA software.

A total of 4336 codes were identified based on the content analysis of 194 articles. The identified codes were categorized into 8 dimensions and 76 components. These dimensions include technology, services, people, resources, space, governance and management, legal, ethical, social, cultural, political, innovation and creativity.

Although technology serves as the main factor and infrastructure of smart libraries, attention should be paid to other dimensions such as services, people, space, resources, governance and management, legal, ethical, social, cultural, political, innovation, and creativity in the design of smart libraries. However, it should be noted that in the design and implementation of a smart library, attention should be paid to the existing needs, facilities, equipment, and budget required. Each library may have different needs and resources that need to be considered. Therefore, the implementation of smart libraries requires a multidimensional approach that encompasses various key components.

This research has been done with the aim of determining the effect of market sensing ability on innovation with regard to the mediating role of knowledge creation and the moderator of strategic orientation to entrepreneurship in the Novin insurance company. It has been done by a descriptive-survey method.

Descriptive-survey method is correlational type. Al-Shanti and Amigwali (2021) questionnaire was used to collect the data needed for the research to measure the four components of market sensing ability, strategic orientation to entrepreneurship, knowledge creation and innovation. Questionnaire reliability in general, Cronbach's alpha coefficient was estimated to be 781/781 using the formula. The statistical population under study is all the experts and managers of the headquarters of Novin insurance Company, including 414 people, and using Cochran's sample size formula, 200 people were selected as a statistical sample. A simple random method was used to select the samples.

The results of applying structural equation modeling in the Lisrel software environment showed that the ability to sense the market directly and indirectly affects innovation through the mediating role of knowledge creation. Also, the results of the regression test showed that strategic orientation to entrepreneurship moderates the effect of market sensing ability on knowledge creation.

Undoubtedly, knowledge creation as one of the dimensions and elements of knowledge management has a very valuable role in the activities of all kinds of organizations, and market sensitivity makes organizations seek to supply their customers with better and more accurate understanding of their needs. Be their wishes and expectations.

Advanced organizations that have embraced the knowledge-based economy should enhance their skills in knowledge creation, aggregation, and maintenance to increase their capabilities and gain a competitive advantage. Knowledge management is the structured process of collecting, securing, and managing information and knowledge within an organization. It is essential for enhancing organizational understanding of knowledge management, value production, and intellectual capital, which are crucial for maintaining competitive advantage. Today, the most significant challenge for organizations is to develop the intellectual capital necessary to understand how organizational management promotes knowledge sharing among employees and how to ensure that this knowledge contributes to the organization's success. The present study aimed to investigate the influence of intellectual capital and knowledge management on competitive advantage at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, with a focus on the mediating role of innovation.
The research method is applied for the purpose of descriptive-correlational analysis, with a focus on the nature and method of data collection. The statistical population for this research includes all managers and staff of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. Based on the available information, there are 400 individuals in this population, of whom 196 were selected using Cochran's formula through simple random sampling. The tool used to collect field information in this researchis a questionnaire comprising intellectual capital questions (Kianto et al., 2010; Bantis, 1998; Subramaniam & Yondt, 2005), knowledge management (Gold et al., 2001), competitive advantage (Wu and Chen, 2012), and innovation (Harley and Hallett, 1998). The research utilized structural equation modeling as the analysis method, based on SmartPLS3 software. In this study, the content validity method is used to provide greater assurance. For this purpose, the questionnaire was distributed to specialists and experts, including a respected teacher, who were asked to provide their opinions on each question and the evaluation of the associated goal. The questionnaire was approved with some minor amendments. Cronbach's alpha method was utilized to assess the reliability of the measurement tool.
The research findings indicated that intellectual capital has a positive and significant impact on innovation, with a path coefficient of 0.304 and a t-statistic value of 4.860. Furthermore, knowledge management has a substantial and positive impact on innovation, with a path coefficient of 0.516 and a t-statistic value of 8.009. The impact of innovation on competitive advantage was confirmed, with a path coefficient of 0.370 and a t-statistic value of 4.014. The impact of knowledge management on competitive advantage has been confirmed, with a path coefficient of 0.255 and at-statistic value of 3.602. Furthermore, it was discovered that innovation serves as a mediator in the relationship between intellectual capital, knowledge management, and competitive advantage.
In order for today's organizations to survive in the new competitive and knowledge-oriented environment, they must consider innovation as a necessary strategy to effectively respond to changes. Innovation is essential for navigating the turbulent external environment and managing complexity and change within the organization. Therefore, it is important to prioritize innovation. Organizations that prioritize intellectual capital tend to be more innovative than others. This is because in such organizations, the presence and utilization of intellectual capital lead to increased knowledge acquisition, which in turn facilitates the generation of solutions. Innovation will lead to new actions and advancements in general.

In service-oriented organizations such as banks, learning, knowledge management, and digital innovation enhance the efficient utilization of the organization's available time, resources, and capabilities. The need to generate new knowledge using information technology is one of the challenges that managers face today. In the new paradigm, characterized by a competitive and knowledge-oriented environment, organizations should view innovation as an essential strategy to maintain competitiveness. Through digital innovation, new opportunities to access markets and gain competitive advantages at the national and international levels will be created. One of the challenges that organizations face today is the need to develop new knowledge based on information technology due to changes in the environment. Therefore, this research aims to determine the impact of knowledge management through organizational learning on digital innovation in Refah Bank.

This research is quantitative. A cross-sectional and hierarchical fuzzy logic approach was conducted with a sample size of 2022. The research population consisted of 9063 managers and employees from Refah Bank across the country. A simple random sampling method was used, with a sample size of 368 people. An electronic questionnaire, which incorporates the Lawson Knowledge Management Questionnaire, the short form of the Sange Organizational Learning Questionnaire, and the Kane and Ho Digital Innovation Questionnaire, draws on digital knowledge from research literature. Its validity and reliability have been confirmed, and it is utilized for data collection. Data analysis is conducted using Smart PLS 2 software, and the research's conceptual model is tested using the partial least squares technique. Partial Least Squares (PLS) method is utilized to validate and fit the research model.

The study confirms the mediating effect of organizational learning on the relationship between the dimensions of knowledge management and digital innovation. Knowledge management variables have an impact on organizational learning. Organizational learning has a significant impact on digital innovation.

According to the research findings, the acquisition, creation, sharing, and maintenance of knowledge, as well as digital knowledge, have an impact on digital innovation through organizational learning. The research results indicate that organizational learning plays a crucial role in connecting knowledge management and digital innovation. In previous research, little attention has been given to organizational learning in the context of knowledge management's impact on digital innovation. Therefore, the current research aims to address this gap. The qualitative research conducted by Di Vaio et al. in 2021 on the content of articles related to knowledge management and digital innovation indicates that there has been no research on the impact of knowledge management and digital innovation. Furthermore, there has been no governance framework to measure the impact of digital transformation and knowledge management on each other. Knowledge management, like a system, is considered an important input, with organizational learning as a key process, and digital innovation as a vital output for today's organizations. Banks can enhance their organization's digital innovations by implementing knowledge management and organizational learning systems. It is essential for the management to understand the concept of knowledge management and to support the knowledge management program through resource allocation and revising the priorities of Refah Bank. Digital innovation tools should align with the expected processes of knowledge management and organizational learning. Careful planning is essential in this case. It is suggested to establish a knowledge creation working group to reduce the influence of individual biases. It is important to prioritize the role of human resources in advancing knowledge management and to make decisions that facilitate the production, storage, and dissemination of knowledge within the organization. Banks can share knowledge by updating electronic archives of documents and through the organizational portal, software groups, proposal management systems, and thus improve employee efficiency and document knowledge. This also allows for the utilization of valuable hidden employee knowledge in future work. As a result, they achieve organizational innovation, which is considered a crucial outcome for organizations today. Other mediating variables, such as industry type, management style, organizational culture, and other factors influencing digital innovation, should be considered in future research.

As an innovation, power electronic devices plays a significant role in changing the paradigm of the traditional power grid structure and the emergence of smart grids. Based on the new public governance paradigm (NPG), one of the necessities for the emergence of power electronic device innovations is to pay atten`1tion to collaborative approaches such as innovation ecosystems. Considering the necessity of building power electronic devices innovation ecosystems in the country and the lack of coherent research in this regard, the present research designs this ecosystem to empower policymakers in their efforts to analyze ecosystems across relevant categories and to develop an informed strategy.The research method was based on Design Science Research methodology (DSR). In the Awareness phase, theoretical dimensions and related documents/reports were reviewed. In the Suggestion phase, 23 interviews conducted with experts along with selected documents were coded and categorized based on comparative qualitative content analysis through an unstructured matrix. In the Development phase, the output of the Suggestion phase was reviewed and finalized by an expert panel consisting of 15 experts in the field of power electronic devices. In the Evaluation phase, the output of the Development phase was evaluated and confirmed by using three tools including evaluation of the appropriateness of the components, expert panel and trustworthiness of inquiry. In the Conclusion phase, based on the results, implications and suggestions of the research were proposed. The design of power electronic devices innovation ecosystems and providing policy implications and suggestions based on it.

The importance of innovation ecosystems among researchers and at the level of society is increasing, and Iran's innovation ecosystem is no exception to this rule. But it seems that despite the support provided by the government, this ecosystem has not yet reached the required effect. To this end, the current research has analyzed the function of the Iran's innovation ecosystem. According to this goal, qualitative research design and grounded theory method were used. The opinions of 22 participants were taken through interviews and the opinions of 13 ecosystem actors were taken through secondary data. According to the findings, while the government sought to remove obstacles such as contradictory laws and widespread bureaucracy in the ecosystem, at the same time with the expansion of the government's activity, the bureaucratic obstacles that are rooted in the government correspondingly increase. The government's financial incentives and providing infrastructure to foster innovation capability and strengthening communication between actors. Existed support mechanisms have not been a serious stimulus in order to provide the opportunity to learn technological knowledge and interactive learning between actors like university and industry. Moreover, on the one hand the government support companies in growth stage to innovate, but on the other hand its intervention to control the markets prevents the exploitation of the aforementioned innovation in the market. In the face of these paradoxes, ecosystem actors, considering the adaptive efficiency of institutions in the ecosystem and their own motivations, choose three major strategies: leaving the ecosystem, not entering the ecosystem, or staying minimalistic on ecosystem.

The growth of knowledge-based industries based on new technologies has marked extensive changes in advanced and emerging economies. Various factors inside and outside the company affect this growth. One of the most important factors inside the company, is technological learning. The purpose of this article is to identify technological learning modes and factors affecting them in nanotechnology knowledge-based companies. This research is applied in terms of purpose, and in terms of data type, it is a qualitative research based on a case study. The participants were experts in the various departments of knowledge-based nanotechnology companies, which were selected by purposeful sampling. The sample size was determined based on the principle of theoretical saturation. Qualitative content analysis has been used in the process of analyzing texts and documents. In science-based learning, scientific promotion of the company, internal R&D, and joint research activities have been the most important modes of technological learning. In experience-based learning, the most important learning modes are individual employee communication, company interactions with the outside, work experience, technical and skill training, teamwork, organizational flexibility, and knowledge and experience sharing. The innovation of these learnings also includes product innovation, process and technology innovation, market innovation and obtaining approvals and certificates. Factors affecting technological learning are R&D capability, production capability and learning culture as internal drivers and internal and international restrictions, legal capacities and government interventions, technological changes and competition intensity as external drivers.

People who have a sense of trust in the leadership believe that they are treated fairly and with fairness and sincerity in the organization. These people are honest and transparent in their business communication, and their ability to listen to the opinions of others is more and better. Among the other factors that contribute to the increase of organizational quality and maturity, especially in organizations with information technology, is the quality of information systems and knowledge sharing. These three factors can be the basis for creation of creativity, motivation and promotion of knowledge in the organization. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of trust in leadership, knowledge sharing, and the quality of information systems on innovation and employee motivation in public libraries.

The current research is practical in terms of its purpose, and is quantitative-descriptive in terms of the type and method of collecting research data, and is based on the structural equation model (SEM) that was conducted using the survey method. The statistical population of the study included all the employees of the public libraries of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province in the year 1400 in the number of 148 people, which was sampled using a simple random sampling method and finally 113 complete questionnaires were analyzed. To collect data from the leadership trust questionnaire (Seo et al., 2016), information systems quality questionnaire (Delon and McLean, 2004), employee innovation questionnaire (Scott and Brath, 1994), employee motivation questionnaire (Bakhshi et al., 2004) and knowledge sharing questionnaire (Lee, 2001) was used. The content validity of the tool was verified by experts and its reliability was calculated using Cronbach’s alpha.

In order to achieve the purpose of the research, eight sub-hypotheses were defined to fully evaluate and examine all aspects of the research. The findings showed that trust in leadership has a significant effect on employee innovation and motivation. In addition, the quality of information systems affects the innovation and motivation of employees. On the other hand, trust in leadership and the quality of information systems affect knowledge sharing, and knowledge sharing is also effective on employee innovation and motivation.

Originality/value: 

The current research has investigated the effect of trust in leadership, knowledge sharing and the quality of information systems on innovation and motivation in all active public libraries in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province. This research is the the first study based on the combination of internal and external reference questionnaires that have dealt with the determining role of these factors in increasing the service quality of public libraries in Iran. In addition, the results of this research can help library managers to move the atmosphere of collaboration within the library towards more favorable conditions in the interaction between employees and provide more creativity and motivation for colleagues with appropriate policy making and planning. This policy itself can lead to a more appropriate response from library staff to clients.

Fintechs or financial startups are progressively impacting the financial services value chain every day. Fintechs has provided the country's financial markets governors with an irreplaceable opportunity to reform the country's financial system mechanisms. The ecosystem development of these innovative businesses in the financial system is demanding as the prudential requirements of the financial system, and the obstacles that generally exist for innovative businesses. This descriptive research investigates the systemic problems of fintech ecosystem development and its solutions. The analytical texts published in one year and 49 semi-structured interviews with experts were analyzed with a deductive thematic analysis methodology based on Nicoletti's model. Then, the systemic network problems besides institutional mapping of the fintech ecosystem have been extracted; also its validity has been discussed in five focus groups. Then, the existing problems for the development of the fintech business ecosystem are categorized into six sectors: policy, regulation, and supervision (28 problems) such as the lack of a fintech development vision, science production, and promotion (4 problems) such as the lack of fintech scientific field in universities, investment (4 problems) such as the lack of investment statistics in fintech, financial solutions (10 problems) such as weakness in the inclusive financing system, and fintech demand (4 problems) such as low urgency of fintech with financial regulatory bodies. Ultimately, based on the issues raised, the policy implications of this research are presented to facilitate the governance of the

Policy research studies for decision-making support system can have an important contribution in the development of national innovation system policies with the aim of increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of this system, especially in developing countries.The question is about the level and scope of innovative strategies of researchers in research institutes of science and higher education policy in Iran; and why such innovations are realized or not. A qualitative research was conducted with the participation of researchers from several institutions to discover their common lived experiences. According to the core concept of this research, researchers are in a "polar situation" on two paths. On the one hand, the structures, institutions, and contextual factors hinder them, and on the other hand, there are inadequacies in the researchers' own way of acting and their research initiatives that lowers the level and scope of researchers' innovations. Despite this, there are also intervening and adjusting variables that can overcome these obstacles and enable various innovative strategies. In the present study, this process has been causally explained and a set of innovations has been identified.Structures limit researchers' actions, but they cannot completely exclude their creative research initiatives from calculations and equations. According to the scope and diversity of their innovative research strategies in institutions, researchers can succeed in critical actions and institutional and structural changes.Structures limit researchers' actions, but they cannot completely exclude their creative research initiatives from calculations and equations.

The development of innovation in the service sector is a complex process that is affected by various factors, and the service sector due to its commercial nature must be updated in its innovative processes. Since knowledge innovation is required, knowledge extraction is essentially required to achieve goals and innovation in the industry. Appropriate and timely knowledge leads the industry to increase its productivity and level of innovation. This article is intended to provide a model for knowledge extraction in the service industry. For this purpose, the grounded theory model has been used, which is applied in terms of purpose and qualitative research in terms of collecting information. The population includes experts and managers in the service industry and the sample is due to the theoretical saturation of 14 people who were selected in a purposive sampling. The data collection tool, in the qualitative section, was a semi-structured interview. To confirm the accuracy of the data, the validity of the study was used by the research members. In this study, to calculate the reliability, the method of intercoder agreement has been used. The percentage of thematic agreement confirms encodings with 80% reliability. ATLAS.TI software was used for coding. After analyzing the data, a knowledge extraction model was extracted for the service industry. Based on this, 122 concepts and 18 sub-categories have been categorized using the Strauss and Corbin paradigm model. These factors were divided into 18 categories in the common model of grounded theory, which are: causal conditions (infrastructure and technological factors, structural factors, human resources, organizational culture, support of senior managers), contextual conditions (organizational strategic knowledge, management Organizational communication, support for intelligent knowledge extraction system), strategic (knowledge commercialization strategies, creativity strategies, innovative strategies), interventionist conditions (personal characteristics, financial factors, managerial factors), consequences (value creation, advantage) Competitive, globalization, growth, and maturity). Therefore, according to the results of this study, vital resources in the service industry can be identified to extract knowledge in a timely and appropriate manner, and the knowledge obtained from this extraction can be used to create a competitive advantage in domestic and foreign markets.

This research attempts to determine the status of the University of Tehran’s central library to establish the maker movement.

For so doing, both a library study method is used to prepare a checklist, and a survey method is done. By a purposive sampling, an interview with the Head of Central Library and Documentation Center of the Tehran University was carried out and a questionnaire was distributed among the librarians.

The findings indicate that the central library’s condition in terms of human resources, finances, and infrastructure is not proper for the current makerspace.

The results show that a high level of education and work experience has a positive effect on librarians' familiarity, skill and interest. For librarians, funding from the parent organization is greater than funding from library funding and other sources. Male librarians are less interested in establishing a maker movement, despite being more familiar with the makerspace and skillful in performing activities related to the makerspace. The organizing and cataloging department is more interested in creating a makerspace. The level of education and high work experience has a positive effect on the level of familiarity, skill and interest of librarians with activities related to the creative construction space, which can be used in the field of guiding, training and controlling related activities. For most librarians, there is enough time and space in the central library for makerspace. Undesirable hardware and software equipment in the library and lack of knowledge about digitalization laboratory equipment affect the level of knowledge of librarians.
