Today, managers of both traditional and startup businesses strive to reduce their organization's additional costs and provide better services to customers by adopting an appropriate approach and utilizing modern technologies such as pervasive connectivity, supply chain management, cloud computing, and big data. They also structure their organization based on the utilization of digital technologies and use them to create a new business model. This study aims to identify the factors affecting the improvement of the insurance business and focuses on the role of intra-organizational and extra-organizational factors in achieving digital insurance. The results from qualitative and quantitative analyses on data collected from insurance professionals and experts, using thematic analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modeling, led to the identification of factors and sub-scales. According to the findings of this research, insurance companies should consider the share and role of each intra-organizational and extra-organizational factor in achieving the approach of digital business development and improvement. Furthermore, according to the quantitative section of the research, the efforts of insurance companies in this path will only yield ideal results if the government creates the necessary digital capabilities for improving business in the insurance industry. This includes the formulation and revision of upstream laws, the establishment of national databases and communication infrastructures required by the country's insurance industry, and the development of necessary standards to provide a suitable environment for creating a digital ecosystem.

The aim of the current research was to present the governance model of entrepreneurial business development. The research method was the quantitative structural equation model method and the research population consisted of all managers of government centers and the private sector of large entrepreneurs in the year 1400. In the quantitative part, 292 people were selected using Cochran's formula. The research tool was a researcher-made questionnaire. The analysis of the collected data was done in two descriptive and inferential methods using SPSS 16 and Smart PLS software. The results showed that seven components play a role in explaining the governance model of entrepreneurial business development, which are: economic factors (amending banking structures), creating an international competitive advantage, eliminating parallel institutions, modernizing the government body, creating infrastructure (hardware, software), penetrating the international markets, and finally rejuvenating the government body. To check the fit of the model, check X2, R and RS; It was discussed that the existence of low X2 and the ratio of chi-2 to the degree of freedom is less than three, as well as the coefficient of determination and the adjusted coefficient of determination were calculated; It indicated the appropriate fit of the model.

Startups often encounter various challenges during their formation and growth, leading to a significant failure rate. Accelerators have emerged as a type of startup support organization, aimed at assisting startups in their early stages of development. The notable success of pioneering accelerators, such as Y-Combinatory, has fueled the rapid proliferation of this incubation mechanism worldwide. Recognizing the need for the flexibility and agility exhibited by startups to maintain their competitive positions, corporations have embraced the accelerator model and established their own versions, known as "corporate accelerators." Despite the positive impact these accelerators have on companies, evaluating their performance has remained a persistent challenge, particularly given their initial struggles with financial performance. To address this issue, it is crucial to establish appropriate accelerator assessment criteria that enable owners and managers to assess the actual performance of corporate accelerators. Therefore, this study aims to contribute to the field by designing a framework for assessing the performance of corporate accelerators and identifying the criteria for measuring their effectiveness. This research adopts a qualitative and interpretive approach. First, a systematic literature review method was employed to identify assessment criteria for accelerators. Among 123 articles extracted from the WOS and SCOPUS databases, after a careful examination based on title and abstract screening, 18 relevant papers were included in the review process. Drawing from the systematic review and essential criteria, a set of performance assessment criteria for corporate accelerators was derived. Furthermore, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 experts. These individuals, including managers and owners of accelerators with a minimum of two years of experience, had successfully accelerated more than five startups. Thematic analysis, following the six-step pattern outlined by the Braun and Clark method and utilizing MAXQDA2020 software, was employed to extract and analyze the criteria obtained from the interviews. Through the extraction of performance assessment criteria from previous research and interview data, 285 primary codes were identified, leading to the extraction of 29 sub-themes based on the frequency of occurrences and similarities in meanings and concepts. These sub-themes were subsequently organized into four main dimensions to create a performance assessment framework for corporate accelerators. Built upon the balanced scorecard perspective, the framework encompasses four dimensions: "innovation and technology performance," "startup satisfaction performance," "internal processes of accelerator performance," and "learning and growth performance." Each dimension consists of specific criteria for assessing performance. For instance, the dimension of innovation and technology performance encompasses eight criteria, including "knowledge transfer projects to the corporation" and "solving the company's problems through startups." The dimension of startup satisfaction performance comprises nine criteria, such as "access to the company's network for startups" and "accelerator's speed of interaction with corporations and startups." The dimension of internal processes of accelerator performance incorporates seven criteria, including "the existence of systematic procedures for interacting with the company" and "documented procedures for evaluating acceleration applicants." Lastly, the dimension of learning and growth performance encompasses five criteria, such as "documentation of experiences for learning" and "knowledge sharing within the accelerator." Assessing the performance of corporate accelerators has proven to be challenging due to the intangible nature of their achievements. Consequently, comprehensive research on the assessment of this accelerator type has been lacking. This study contributes to the entrepreneurship literature by providing a comprehensive framework of criteria for assessing the performance of corporate accelerators. In doing so, it enhances understanding of the nature and methodology underlying the assessment of accelerator performance. Moreover, the framework offers corporate accelerator managers and owners the means to conduct more comprehensive assessments, considering a range of criteria beyond purely financial indicators. Over time, this holistic approach enables them to measure progress and assess performance more effectively.

In the current era, technology plays a chief role in the development of entrepreneurial businesses. However, entrepreneurs face numerous challenges in utilizing and integrating technology, which can limit their growth and progress. The aim of this study is to identify and analyze the technological barriers that entrepreneurs encounter in the development of their businesses. This qualitative research was conducted using semi-structured interviews with twenty-three entrepreneurs. Data were analyzed through content analysis. The findings revealed six main themes of technological barriers: environmental barriers, cultural-social barriers, technological barriers, market barriers, skills and knowledge, and immigrant entrepreneurship. These barriers include challenges related to laws and regulations, access to financial resources, gender differences, and other issues. This study demonstrates that entrepreneurs need to overcome a set of technological barriers to achieve success and make optimal use of technology in their businesses. Addressing these barriers and designing solutions to overcome them can contribute to the sustainable development of entrepreneurial businesses.

The aim of this research was to develop a framework for identifying and explaining the factors influencing organizational ambidexterity in scientific and technological tourism organizations affiliated to ACECR.

The research approach was qualitative, and its strategy was based on Grounded Theory. Technology specialists of the country's ACECR comprised the statistical population including managers, faculty members and experts, all of whom had experience and expertise in the field of technological businesses in tourism domain. The data were collected through a semi-structured method applying ATLAS.ti software.

After analyzing the interview texts, we identified the dimensions of organizational ambivalence including the ability of the organization to explore and exploit the tourism areas and to utilize the relevant technology for innovation, as the pivotal factor, in the subsidiaries. Then, causal, mediating, and moderating variables were developed in the final framework. The findings show that multi-faceted management and leadership, diverse human resources, and structural variety are effective factors of the establishment of organizational ambidexterity. In addition, the establishment of organizational ambidexterity in scientific and technological tourism organizations of ACECR leads to such consequences as value creation, completion of the technology chain, organizational development, and reduction of organizational contradictions.

Therefore, paying attention to uncontrollable and controllable variables that lead to value creation is inevitable. The purpose of this study is to study the impact of social and biological factors (production and recycling of polymer parts) of environment on the value creation of the company along the supply chain. Also the key role of financial ratios has also been considered in this regard.The present research is of quantitative and applied types and is based on mathematical modeling. It is the result of a combination of genetic algorithms and Simulated Annealing. The financial analysis parameters of the model include current ratios, debt to equity, Instantaneous ratio, net profit margin, cash ratio and rate of return.The analysis of the results shows that considering financial goals and indicators leads to improved profitability and by removing financial indicators from the model, profitability is reduced. Therefore,this is means that the environmental and social performance of the supply chain is improved.Companies can pay special attention to social issues and environmental factors along with their profitability Increase their economic value. Profitability can also be improved by exposing social responsibilities and the mission of environmental protection.

Using an efficient business model is considered a basic assumption of the existence of a startup. Previous studies have considered business maturity and the affecting factors, as one of the most important areas of entrepreneurship and also, a flawed business model as one of the reasons for startup's failures. Thus, the present study enables startups to provide valuable products by identifying the change factors of a startup business model and its improvements according with organizational maturity. Reviewing 55 business models used in successful world-class startups and forming an experts' panel, this study found a significant relationship between the maturity factors of the startups' business model and the five steps of Batra maturity model. Then, by CFA based on data obtained from activists of platform/ digital startup in the country, the obtained conceptual model was examined and it was found that 33 factors in different stages of business development from opportunity analysis to product supply management to the market should be considered to have a suitable business model. The four dimensions of identifying the customer (who), determining the value to be presented to the customer (what?), the chain affecting the realization of values (how?) and the profit mechanism (why?) should be considered to increase the chances of sustainable business success and overcome barriers to market entry. Finally, in order to achieve a maturity model of the business model based on mentioned levels and indicators, a model and scenario was designed based on the fuzzy cognitive map

Bitcoin is an emerging payment technology that can significantly impact the growth of businesses related to the tourism ecosystem and eliminate historical dependence on the global financial system. Due to the heterogeneous nature of bitcoin networks and the diversity of actors in the tourism industry, creating a collaborative network occurs when tourists and business owners accept the use of bitcoin simultaneously. Therefore, in search of the answer to the question of what factors lead to the failure or success of the proposed network, we presented a model of the Bitcoin-tourism cooperation network. Using the Prisma method, in-depth interviews, creating a panel of international experts from 6 countries, and a fuzzy cognitive mapping method, the influential factors on the acceptance of this network were introduced. Findings show that although the perceived usefulness variable has the highest impact on other factors, the improvement of two factors of cheap transaction costs and knowledge of bitcoin performance gives the best result in the perceived utility variable and ultimately acceptance of bitcoin. The results of this study help to promote and develop new models of tourism-related businesses. Business owners in tourism can also use the proposed solutions, a new strategy to increase market share and business development in the most remote parts of the country. Government decision-makers can also help increase revenue levels and develop the tourism ecosystem in the country by adopting protectionist policies, reducing barriers to doing business through intellectual property protections, developing the required infrastructure, and drafting a bill for the legislature.

Climatic diversity, soil and water richness, the land potential for growing horticultural products, and the economic value of horticultural products have turned Kermanshah province into one of the areas prone to producing horticultural products. The cultivation and processing of olives in the hot regions of the province is not an exception. In this regard, the identification and development of agricultural clusters (orchards) are one of the solutions adopted in developed countries for agricultural development. The purpose of this research was to study the feasibility of a cluster of olive processing businesses in Kermanshah province. The research was based on a mixed-methods Design (sequential-explanatory) that used a survey method, a document study, and a few case studies. The research population was composed of gardening and processing experts in the Agriculture Jihad Organization, experts of industrial township companies, processors of garden products, and gardeners who were sampled by the snowball technique. The sampling continued until theoretical saturation. The research investigated the feasibility of creating an olive processing cluster in the study site by considering the characteristics of the cluster feasibility study, including geographic focus, cooperation and competition between businesses, and shared advantages and challenges. The results showed that the geographical concentration of olive processing was in Dallaho County. Also, the results revealed that the olive processing businesses had competition and cooperation with each other and had common challenges and advantages. The results can be used by the Industrial Township Company Office and the Ministry of Agriculture.

Various researches have been done on the development of new products based on innovation. There is also a significant increase in studies in which there is a concept of "systemic approach". However, according to previous researches, decision-making in hesitant atmosphere to select exogenous variables of business development model based on new product development was not observed. The main issue in this research is to investigate and find the factors affecting the feasibility of new product development plans and finally to obtain a method for evaluating new product development plans in industry. In evaluating economic plans, the parameters are usually considered definite, but the study of uncertainty is important considerably. The results show that 6 exogenous variables were selected as key variables in the selection and development of a new product in the organization. The weighted importance of variables is the share of new product acceptance in the market (0.275), new product development investment confidence (0.239), new product development strategy (0.209), level of passing standards and requirements (0.136), attracting development research funding Product (0.077) and Applied Research Fundraising (0.061). The dynamic product development model is designed based on the cause-and-effect relationship and in future studies needs to test the simulation performance of present and future decision making .

Organizations create opportunities for improving productivity, market share and value, and profitability. Also, the use of social networks has imposed challenges for entrepreneurs. The present study aims to investigate and propose a model for entrepreneurship opportunities and challenges in social networks. The methodology is fundamental in terms of objectives and qualitative in terms of approach. The model was proposed using the grounded theory. Data were collected via the purposeful sampling method by performing open interviews with the managers of ten businesses in social networks. The data were analyzed by coding in three stages, including open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. Finally, the information was classified into six axial opportunity-related codes, including network nature, motivation opportunities, capacities for taking opportunities, distribution system opportunities, legal opportunities, and productivity opportunities, and into four challenge-related codes, including political, management, security, and market challenges. Also, the conceptual model of entrepreneurship opportunities and challenges in online social networks was provided.

Nowadays, with the increasing role of knowledge-based economiy in the foundation of economic growth and development, and also highly complex and competitive environment prevailing in the international markets, the importance of innovation in economic policy is much more, so that all countries are trying to determine factors of the infrastructure development of innovation. Researchers have identified several factors as determinants of innovation; human capital is one of the most important of them. For this reason and due to the technology gap between Muslim-majority countries to developed countries, this study is trying to examin the determinants of innovation, with a focus on human capital component in selected OIC countries during the period 2009-2011. Results show that the impact of human capital variables (both in general and in the case of sub-indexes (level of education, training and research and development at the university level), the innovation is meaningless. The results also show a positive effect of institutions, infrastructure and business development on innovation.

A destination image is 'the expression of all objective knowledge, impressions, prejudice, imaginations and emotion thoughts an individual or group might have of a particular place'(Lawson, baud, 1977).This concept is of great importance in tourism context as it can determine tourist' preferences and influence their behavior during all trip stages from pre-travel steps to post-travel ones. On the other hand destination's built environment, architecture and buildings which are considered as the most significant cultural attractions, can affect the tourist destination image formation. This study examines the relationship between Iranian-Islamic architecture and European's post-visitors Image towards Iran. The aim of this paper is also to study the various aspects of this image via a model proposed by Echtner and Ritchie in 1993. To be more precise, the study has focused on the Safavid buildings of Isfahan, a well-known Iran's tourist destination. Results of the study indicate that Iranian- Islamic architecture had a significant effect on European tourist image. According to findings, Naghsh-e -Jahan Square and Sheik Lotfollah mosque are considered as the most remarkable and memorable places in European's functional perception. Responses show that most of the respondents have expressed their affective image of Iranian• Islamic architecture by the words which connote wonder, admiration and economic activities caused is essentially the nature of the services to be remembered as the industry after the oil industry and automobile industry as the third world to be known.
