The implementation of development plans and the allocation of resources is necessary for the lofty ideals of the Islamic Revolution. The ultimate goal of this research is to develop a science and technology roadmap in one of the universities affiliated with defense organizations. The thematic analysis method was used in three stages: (1) primary coding, (2) secondary coding, and (3) final review and confirmation of categories. Thematic analysis was performed based on the four main themes of vision and mission, target areas, research and development, and resources and infrastructure, taking into account three one-year time horizons, between one to three years and more than three years. The initial codes extracted from the upstream documents and interviews were identified based on the main themes. The secondary codes were extracted while removing, summarizing, and aggregating the primary codes, the secondary codes (categories) were extracted. The extracted secondary codes were first placed in the landscape layer based on the time horizon intended for them. Based on the placement for each perspective, each category was placed in other layers, and thus a scientific and technological roadmap was drawn.

Many studies depict marketing, particularly branding, as one of the challenges faced by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Although branding ranks as a top priority for SMEs, they tend to concentrate more on day-to-day activities like sales rather than on branding endeavors. Consequently, brand management often does not receive high priority among SMEs. Despite the crucial role of branding in SME growth, scant attention has been devoted to it in the literature. Therefore, there is a need for greater focus on branding in SME literature, given its significance in customer outreach, sustainability, and resource utilization. The brand serves as a strategic resource generated within the company, capable of enhancing the company's vision and capabilities and facilitating logical and emotional interactions with customers. Hence, the efficacy of branding strategies hinges on the advantages offered by the brand itself. Given that branding in SMEs remains a relatively underexplored research area, this study aims to contribute new empirical data, particularly in the book industry, to address this gap.On the other hand, while it is evident that branding plays a pivotal role in the success of many businesses, particularly in developing countries like Iran, limited research has been conducted, especially concerning the acquisition and selection of branding strategies in SMEs. Therefore, this research seeks to design entrepreneurial branding strategies tailored to the dynamic capabilities of SMEs in the publishing industry, focusing on areas where knowledge is lacking.

The research adopts a qualitative approach, employing a multiple case study strategy to investigate businesses in the book publishing industry. Given that the unit of analysis is at the company level, the study's statistical population comprises active managers and founders with experience in branding and brand management within the Tehran book publishing industry. Data collection involved the use of an interview protocol with the event-based STAR method. Additionally, multiple data sources, including interviews, documents, evidence, and observation, were utilized. Purposeful sampling continued until theoretical saturation was achieved, ensuring that the obtained information was nearly exhaustive. This saturation was reached after the 14th interview, and to bolster research reliability, semi-structured interviews continued until the 20th interview. The interviews lasted approximately 60 to 120 minutes each. The thematic analysis method was employed to analyze the interview data, with coding performed using Atlas.ti software version 7. The validity and reliability of the coded themes were confirmed through qualitative research validation methods, including review by two coders and peer review, resulting in a validity score of 74%, considered highly desirable according to Chin (1998).

The data obtained from participant interviews were coded using the thematic analysis method as follows: Initial Codes: The researchers initially familiarized themselves with the interview text, identifying basic content and creating initial codes such as copyright infringement, limited book genres, and uniformity across departments.Selective Coding and Theme Creation: Codes with semantic and conceptual affinity were grouped together to form main and sub-themes, generating new meanings and words.Theme Definition and Naming: Main themes were introduced and explained, highlighting the aspects of the data each theme encompassed. Five essential steps and two internal and external components influencing entrepreneurial branding in SMEs were identified based on interviews and documents. These steps include "Triggers of Idea Generation," "Paths of Brand Idea Generation," "Brand Concept Formation," "Brand Evaluation," and "Brand Exploitation and Development."

The process of entrepreneurial branding in SMEs comprises five main steps and two components that influence branding and capability emergence throughout this process. The first step involves primary triggers in ideation to enter the business world, followed by the creation of an idea path through accidental discovery, deliberate search, or legacy. Subsequently, the brand concept is formed, evolving through brand identity and brand imagery. The fourth step entails brand evaluation, measured through desirability and feasibility, leading to brand exploitation and development, where entrepreneurs translate thoughts into action, creating and developing brand-based businesses. This process is influenced by internal components such as human resource characteristics and manager/brand owner personality, as well as external factors like industry and market characteristics and legal and socio-demographic environments. The entrepreneurial process is inherently embedded within the social and environmental context of the entrepreneur.

Policymaking is a process in which governments turn their political vision into plans and actions to create desired changes. According to the principle 13 of the general policies of the system regarding increasing the share of renewable energies in the direction of public interests and in the service of public security, accelerating the expansion of renewable energies should be prioritized in government decision-making. The aim of this research is to provide a model for the development of renewable energy development policy based on the general policies of the system in the energy sector. In this qualitative research, semi-structured and in-depth interviews were conducted with fourteen professors and experts of the renewable energy industry in the country, and the data was collected and analyzed using thematic analysis and then confirmed using the interpretive structural modeling method. Themes extracted from theme analysis, including upstream laws and requirements, environmental requirements, international sanctions, economics of investment projects and international laws and requirements, processes including management and integrated planning, energy security , culture building, technology development and results including export development and economic development were identified. It was also found that the highest frequency was related to the variable of laws and upstream requirements, which shows the importance of paying attention to this variable in policy formulation.

The present study seeks to investigate what are the necessary stages for establishing a succession management system in governmental organizations. The methodology of the present study is qualitative. The research data have been collected using free and semi-structured interviews with 19 senior managers and professors in the field of human resources. Data analysis has been performed thematically based on 3-step coding using Nvivo software.The validity of the research was confirmed based on the opinions of professors and experts in the field of human resources and the reliability of the "angulation" technique based on continuous review. The study results indicate that establishment of succession management system consists of seven main themes that occur gradually and in a process. These themes include: organizational culture-building, providing the ground for implementation of succession planning system, implementation of a committed system, determining the policies, evaluating the candidates in order to establish a meritocracy system, analysis of the educational gaps and development of staff based on the mission, and finally evaluation of the succession management system.

In order to manage and coordinate inter-organizational networks, an orchestrator role is essential. Hub firm typically performs this role in a network and therefore needs orchestration capability. Most conceptualizations of orchestration capabilities in literature are focused on network management, and this meta-capability is often viewed statically. In this study, focusing on the identification and comprehensive collection of orchestration capabilities, the orchestration skills and processes have been categorized.

Systematic literature review is conducted through structured screening, coding, and categorization of concepts based on Prisma. It is classified as an applied research with a qualitative approach using Thematic analysis over the selected articles in innovation management orchestration and checking with Sandelowski and Barroso method.

The orchestration of innovation networks requires 84 capabilities, which have been identified and collected, and a coherent framework and classification was derived by comparing and analyzing different concepts and drawing clear lines in three dimensions namely design, manage and control of the network and seven categories. We also introduced the third dimension of orchestration capability of innovation networks including the analysis of changes and reconfiguration.

Considering the dynamic nature of internal, external and technological factors, The network orchestrator should also review his activities and roles in accordance with this dynamic and update his behavior in order to increase the efficiency of the network. In this way, benefiting from the capabilities of the network control category is mandatory for orchestration.

Most researches in the field of e-banking acceptance models have ignored the cultural dimension and have neglected or paid little attention to this important and key factor.One of the problems of banks in attracting customers to e-banking services is the lack of attention to customer culture in the development of e-banking services. Therefore, recognizing the cultural dimension is a key factor both to achieve the principle of customer orientation and to increase market share by attracting and retaining customers and spreading the culture of using it and also directing the development of electronic banking services.The purpose of this study is to identify the cultural dimensions affecting the attraction of bank customers to e-banking services as an innovative step in serving the community to focus on these factors, accurate approaches in the field of customer marketing management. This research is descriptive in nature and method and applied in purpose. Typically, interviews are semi-structured in the category of qualitative research and in the inductive paradigm and data collection tools. Qualitative data obtained from interviews with customers and managers of Bank Mellat's marketing were coded using thematic analysis and the most important cultural factors affecting the attraction of Iranian customers to e-banking services have been extracted, categorized and approved by experts. The results show that cultural factors affecting the attraction of Iranian customers to e-banking services are: religious values, emotions, art, customs, symbols and symbols

Based on science and technology, the economy of today's world is prosperous and competitive. In the meantime, knowledge-based firms emerged with large profits and high added value; the firms that are founded on utilizing knowledge-based ideas, creativity, and innovation. Therefore, at the global level, firms adopt various strategies to increase the effectiveness of scientific and technological activities, improve performance, and transfer their achievements to the industry and market. Knowledge-based firms are considered research organizations that, to fulfill their mission, should provide a suitable platform to facilitate the commercialization of their research findings in addition to developing new technologies. Reviewing the studies conducted on the growth of knowledge-based firms reveals most of them have focused on internal factors of growth, while limited ones focused on identifying the success factors along with growth. Thus, the current research is to identify the factors affecting the success of knowledge-based firms and explain their relationships to success. This research is focused on Iranian firms because of specific social, political, and economic conditions in Iran (such as economic sanctions, dependence on oil, prevailing anti-capitalist spirit, etc.) and their impact on the business environment and sales markets which are dependent on the government.

 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK:

In today's changing world, knowledge and innovation are considered the most fundamental factors for progress in the industrial and economic fields. The economy of a country flourishes when it provides the necessary platform for innovation and presence in the world's competitive markets. Moving towards innovation and making changes in the composition of products and services is in the realm of activities of knowledge-based firms. Therefore, they play an important role in the effectiveness of production, the occurrence of knowledge in new products and services, the improvement of the level of economy and well-being, and the production of wealth and added value in society. In addition to creating a competitive environment, such firms have appropriate adaptation and flexibility in facing emerging changes and developments in the economy. This is more important for countries under sanctions that need to adopt policies to strengthen their economy. By examining the countries' development trends, on the other hand, it is obvious that paying attention to knowledge-based firms is from success factors to deal with issues such as employment, innovation capacity, and exporting new products. Based on the above, it is important to study the reasons for the growth of knowledge-based firms in Iran. The current research is accordingly to identify and classify the key factors affecting the growth and success of this kind of firm. It is necessary to develop specific criteria for growth and success in order for determining when a company is considered as developed.

Identifying and modeling the key success factors of knowledge-based firms requires providing a detailed understanding of the subject. The qualitative method is the most appropriate way to achieve this goal. Furthermore, conducting an interpretive structural model will be useful to conceptualize and relate the constructs. In this regard, the current research conducts a thematic analysis and then interpretive structural modeling to explain associations between qualitative variables. The target population of this research is knowledge-based firms reported by the Vice President of Science and Technology. In the first stage of this research, an in-depth semi-structured interview was conducted with 25 CEOs of knowledge-based firms. The sample members were selected by conducting theoretical and opportunistic sampling in a completely purposeful manner based on the research objectives.

After environmental factors, the importance of providing and allocating appropriate financial resources (in terms of amount and time of allocation) and appropriate (educated, experienced, skilled, creative, and innovative) workforce is greater than the others. It was found that individual and organizational factors have a two-way interaction and the company's strategy has the most impact on them. Finally, employing managers to achieve success, growth, and development of knowledge-based firms was determined to be the best implementation method among the five.

CONCLUSIONS & SUGGESTIONS:

Reviewing the literature along with the results of interviews showed five main themes called the key success factors of knowledge-based firms, including individual, organizational, and environmental factors, the firm's strategy, and supplying and allocating resources. Based on the findings of the current research, future researchers are recommended to evaluate the characteristics and components of various scales and populations using other modern research methods and to examine the other aspects of the research model.

Identifying and strengthening social capital in the form of diverse capacities of non-governmental organizations and voluntary memberships increases the level of cooperation of members in social groups and society. Having an acceptable amount of social capital facilitates social actions, so that in times of crisis, social capital can be used as the main source of problem solving and modification of existing processes. The present study, with a practical purpose, deals with the thematic analysis of the narratives of cooperative members about social capital in cooperatives. The results of the data were discussed in 275 concept, primary 9 and secondary categories of "institutional marginalization of cooperatives", "reduction of continuous participation among members" and "poor performance of cooperatives". Finally, these categories were placed in the core category of "weak social and institutional interaction of cooperatives." Accordingly, cooperative injuries in the internal and external dimension are due to the weakness of external institutional social interaction, and to eliminate them, it is necessary to provide institutional empowerment and support.

Undoubtedly, the main function of a brand is to create and maintain an attractive and sustainable differentiation according to status quo and possibilities. Nowadays, with the increasing number of brands and the intensification of competition between them, those brands that do not have the knowledge of quick and right adaption to influential environmental changes, will soon be gotten out of consumers' preference and choices lists. This paper is a qualitative research on the meaning of agility in brand. In the first phase, after a comprehensive literature review on branding and all types of agility, with the aim of collecting qualitative data, a framework developed in order to formulate semi-structured interview questions with experts. Nine Iranian high-level academics and executives, who were expert in marketing and branding, were selected through purposive sampling (Snowball sampling). In the second phase, Transcribed interviews were coded with Nvivo and by the Clarke and Brown's six-step inductive semantic analysis method. There are no logically pre-defined themes in this method, and patterns are revealed during analysis via placing similar open codes or sub-themes in a bigger theme. In this research out of a total of 239 open codes and 24 sub-themes, three main themes were identified, named as the triggers, requirements and attributes of brand adaption, and the new concept of brand agility formed. According to the findings of the research, brand agility is the intelligent, continuous, identity driven and fast performance-communication adaptation of brand against meaningful and significant drivers. This can be reached through five basic capabilities named as relative flexibility, efficient responsiveness, intelligent sensing, power of prediction and brand learning.

Abstract: With the growing use of social networks by many people, consumers take their purchasing decisions based on information in their social circles, and take advantage of the experiences of other consumers and their peers. The purpose of this study is to identify consumers in the name of market cyberspace experts that their views on attitudes and actions of other consumers are influential. Therefore, this exploratory research aims to create a better understanding of those factors that influence and being affected by this concept. The statistical population of the study was the consumers (24 persons) who were involved in cyberspace activities, such as social networks disseminating their information and experiences about products, brands and markets. We collected data using Snowball sampling with sequential approach and for analysis of the research data, thematic analysis has been used. Finally, the structures and identified variables have been reported in the form of conceptual map to answer the research question.

Iran’s Nomadic communities are now facing major challenges regarding their livelihoods. The forced transition of their settled lifestyle due to these challenges can have undesirable outcomes for their quality of life. The nomadic communities as a part of Iran’s ethnic heritage has the capacity to employ tourism for diversifying its economy and the country’s tourism product diversity. Therefore, the importance of identifying those factors that contribute to the community’s capability to build their livelihood resilience is justified. This paper aims at exploring the factors that can improve nomadic communities resilient. Furthermore, this study attempts to present a livelihood resilience framework with a particular focus on nomads. So, the research contributes to the theoretical and applied dimensions of livelihood resilience. To accomplish these goals, a qualitative contextual case study method was employed. We used semi-structured interviews with Qashqai nomads and key informants. In addition, direct observation and unobtrusive data were collected in the study. We used thematic analysis to interpret interviews. Based on stability landscape theory, factors contribute to the nomadic livelihood resilience were categorized as seven main themes, including: livelihood characteristics and internal constraints (implying resistance); internal enablers (implying adaptive capacity); quality of life (implying precariousness); external constraints; external enablers and changes and stresses (implying panarchy theory).

One of the key factors in the development of new products, especially electronic and military products is the development time of these products or simply the time between the idea and final product. In this research, authors have tried to explore the subject from different dimensions and concurrently with studying the results of several research projects in the context of improving the time performance in military industries, suggest their practical results on the basis of their industrial, consultancy and academic experiences. offering a model and comprehensive classification that fulfill the most important effective factors on time performance of product development projects and yet consider the challenges of an active industrial sector in Iran in a common language with industrialists, can guide managers and policy makers of the product and technology development field in the context of strategy formulation and planning for decreasing development time of products. the aim of this research was to achieve such a comprehensive classification and therefore by performing library studies, holding experts panel and finally using thematic analysis, the set of effective factors on product development time was subdivided to three ramifications (contextual, behavioral and structural), nine themes(far environmental factors, nearby environmental factors, human resources, management and leadership, resource management, enterprise architecture, strategy, cooperation and project) and more than 23 sub themes. Finally, to sum up, some managerial implications and limitations of this study and conclusions will be discussed.
