Nanotechnology has begun to operate in Iran since the beginning of the 1980s in line with the attention of the world community towards this technology. This innovation ecosystem has developed and obtained significant achievements, particularly in the field of science in the twenty-year life cycle of nanotechnology. However, the number of patents and the income from the sale of Nano-products have not grown in proportion with the development of scientific indicators. As the optimal activity of an ecosystem is the result of a joint effort of a diverse set of actors and the relationships among them, the purpose of this research is to analyze the current structure of this ecosystem and its communication mechanisms to make proposals for improving the design of ecosystem structure.

This is an interpretive piece of research, which carried out the Action Research strategy with three cycles of actions. Conducting this research, a conceptual model was outlined as the framework for the structural design of the Nano Ecosystem in Iran, based on the Viable System Model. Then, the actors active in the ecosystem were identified and located in the designed conceptual model to determine the established structure of the ecosystem and its shortcomings. Finally, based on the theoretical foundations and attitudes of experts, proposals for the optimal design of the ecosystem structure were made. The data of the research was collected in a targeted manner by reviewing documents, distributing questionnaires, and forming focus groups to confirm the obtained results.

According to the designed conceptual model by the researchers and the goals of the second ten-year document on nanotechnology development, it is necessary to create an important actor called "Research and Technology Organization" to be responsible for connecting industry and university in the Innovation Ecosystem of Nanotechnology. In addition, the establishment of communication mechanisms such as industry support programs and research and development consortia are crucial for realizing ecosystem goals.

The purposes of the innovation ecosystem are achieved when all the actors are active and the relationships among them are properly established. In order to achieve such goals, the Innovation Ecosystem of Nanotechnology in Iran requires the creation of actors and communication mechanisms that do not currently exist. The major absent player in this ecosystem is an organization called "Research and Technology Organization", which is responsible for facilitating the process of communication between industry and university.

The purpose of this study, is to use the total system interventions (TSI) approach in identifying and selecting appropriate methodologies for designing a good budgeting model in the public division of Iran.

Design / Methodology / Approach:

The approach used in this research is a total system interventions and is a qualitative research in terms of data collection. Because its findings have been obtained through interviews with experts in the field of budgeting and the field of systems, and through the analysis of themes and metaphorical analysis. Research

In this stage, according to the results of the interview, two dimensions of complexity and the degree of common goal were determined in each stage of the budgeting process.Then, considering the appropriateness of the methodologies with the dimensions of the problem and the purpose of the research, ie identifying and diagnosis of the system, the appropriate methodologies were selected.

Limitations & Consequences:

Lack of easy access to experts as well as decision problems in choosing a methodology due to the variety of  methodologies, were some of the limitations of this research. In future research, a total system interventions approach can be used to identify and select other methodologies, as well as in similar areas.

Practical Consequences:

The model obtained from this research can be used in diagnosis and pathology of the budgeting system and as a result, designing a good budgeting model in the public division of Iran.

Innovation or Value of the Article:

The innovation of this paper is the identification and selection of a combination of systemic methodologies in the design of the public budgeting system using the total system interventions approach.

This paper attempts to use VSM as a design and diagnosing tools in the banking systems that are at the risk of losing their business because of dynamic changes in their business. Rapid changes in today complex environment cause organizations at the risk of bankruptcy. Systematic action research did at one of the major banks in Iran. According to VSM subsystems, the diagnostic results show some failure detected for adaptability in this bank. After diagnosing, the model of the viable banking system proposed

Nowadays, management and organization is rife with various dichotomies which turn management to the easy but at the same time difficult action, especially in public organizations; dichotomies such as control vs. flexibility, centralization vs. decentralization, inside vs. outside view and so on. In fact, appropriate and optimal aggregation of these dichotomies is very effective in success of management and organization’s performance and it, at least theoretically, lies in system approach. The Viable Systems Model (VSM) is based on Organizational Cybernetics, as a main branch of system approach, which, through making use of the advantages of interdisciplinary approach, could largely solve and minimize the distance between these dichotomies. Although this systemic model is well-known in other countries and has been implemented in various projects from firm level to public administration level, it is not well-recognized in Iran. Therefore, it is necessary to present theoretical and practical concepts of this model to the Iranian scientific and managerial society. This article, with the aim of compensating for theoretical poverty in extant studies, by using documentary methods, reviews these main subjects: basic concepts of VSM such as cybernetics, variety engineering, recursivity and autopoiesis, the interdisciplinary aspects of model (at least in three subjects: its origin, the system of research problems and subjects, and solutions and modus operandi), methodology and five systems of VSM, VSM in action and some of its applications and also some advantages and critique of VSM, and finally, some implications of VSM in designing public organizations structures in Iran.
