The purpose of this research is to discover the structures and dimensions of market orientation in order to design and introduce an indigenous model and a specific market orientation approach for Iranian knowledge-based companies. The approach of this research is qualitative and exploratory type and includes studying documents, reviewing theoretical literature, conducting library studies and interviewing experts and owners of knowledge-based companies in Iran and have been used from capabilities of Groudnded Theory (GT) method and MAXQDA 2020 software to advance the research.  With managers of 12 production type one of knowledge-based companies were conducted deep, semi -structured and semi-regular interviews which were selected from a statistical population of 352 member companies, as purposive sampling or criterion based sampling. The substantive, theoretical and core codes of these interviews have been extracted in the process of open, axial and selective coding. Since all research studies are based on a theoretical framework, conceptual model or mind map that explains the research variables and the causal relationships between them, the present research uses a pragmatic theoretical lens and a pluralistic approach to show that there is an interactive link between the construct market orientation and structures of market turbulence, technological turbulence and the competition intensity as a antecedents of market orientation and also with the business performance as a consequence of market orientation. This study tries to identify a pattern of market orientation for Iranian knowledge-based companies for the first time in order to adapt this companies to the dynamic and non-static essence of the era of cross-competitive challenge. Based on the research findings, the market orientation construct in the indigenous model of Iranian knowledge-based companies has the dimensions of customer orientation, Competitor Orientation, Inter-functional Coordination, Future Orientation, Innovation Orientation and Learning Orientation.

The purpose of this research is to discover and introduce an indigenous model and a specific market orientation approach for Iranian knowledge-based companies during a qualitative research and hypotheses test and model fitness by conducting a quantitative research.The present study is a mixed research method and includes both qualitative and quantitative approaches. In the qualitative part of the research, while studying the documents, reviewing the theoretical literature, conducting library studies and interviewing experts and owners of knowledge-based companies in Iran, the capabilities of MAXQDA 2020 software were used to encode the interviews and then with using grounded theory (GT) is designed and presented special model Market orientation for such companies. In quantitative part, the capability of SPSS software to analyze descriptive statistics and SmartPLS3 software to analyze inferential data has been used for test research hypotheses, determine the validity and fitness of the conceptual model. The substantive, theoretical and core codes of these interviews have been extracted in an open, axial and selective coding process. Since all research studies are based on a theoretical framework, conceptual model or mind map that explains the research variables and possible causal relationships between them, the present study uses a pragmatic theoretical lens and a pluralistic approach to show that has been a positive and significant interactive link between the structure of market orientation and the structures of market turbulence, technological turbulence and the competition intensity as a antecedents of market orientation and also with business performance as a consequence of market orientation.

Changes and uncertainty in the business environment are transforming their competitive environment and organizations need to focus on innovation to succeed. The main purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of learning orientation on strategic innovation.

The statistical population of the present study is Iranian knowledge-based companies participating in the 8th International Exhibition of Innovation and Technology in 2019. Accordingly, after reviewing the literature and designing the conceptual model, a questionnaire consisting of 23 questions was presented to a statistical sample of 140 companies. At least 2 senior executives from each company answered the questions, and their mean scores were analyzed. Face and content validity of the questionnaire was verified according to experts, using standard questionnaires and relying on confirmatory factor analysis. As well as, reliability was approved by the Cronbach's alpha test, composite reliability. Then, the data were analyzed and tested using Smart PLS software through the correlation matrix, the structural equation model and the fitness analysis. Finally, learning orientation was found to influence strategic innovation. Organizational innovation also plays a moderating role in the relationship between learning orientation and strategic innovation.

Despite the necessity of Learning orientation in new product development, few studies have examined how this relationship is mediated through potential mediating variables. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating role of ambidextrous capability and organizational agility in the mentioned relationship. This research is a descriptive-correlational study and is based on structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the research is senior managers and especially research and development managers of knowledge-based companies located in Kerman province, of which 180 persons were selected as sample. The tool used is a standard questionnaire in which its validity and reliability were confirmed. SPSS 19 and LISREL 8.8 were also used for data analysis. The findings show that learning orientation is positively related to ambidextrous capability and organizational agility respectively with impact factors of 0.34 and 0.46. The ambidextrous capability and organizational agility also, in turn, are positive with impact coefficients of 0.48 and 0.19 are related to the performance of the new product. Finally, due to the lack of confirmation of the direct relationship between learning orientation and new product performance, the results confirm the full intermediary role of ambidextrous and organizational agility capabilities in this mentioned relationship.

The purpose of the present study is to propose a conceptual model to measure the Inter-organizational Learning Capability SAPCO supply chain. By reviewing the literature and similar studies, a collection of inter-organizational learning capabilities measures was identified. Subsequently, by conducting a semi-structured interview with academic experts and industry managers, we removed some measures and modified others. Finally, 41 items were determined in three dimensions of relationship quality, learning orientation, and application of inter-organizational systems as inter-organizational learning capability evaluation questions. In the next step, a 5 point Likert scale questionnaire was distributed among experts and technical and non-technical managers of the SAPCO supply of 220 employees. After completion and collection of questionnaires, 202 questionnaires were obtained. To evaluate the fit of the model, we used a confirmatory factor analysis. The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that the research model has suitable fit. The component of learning orientation with factor load (0.89) had the highest impact and the inter-organizational relationship quality with factor load (0.64) had the least impact on explaining of inter-organizational learning construct. Based on the proposed model, the inter-organizational learning level for the SAPCO supply chain obtained 3.63 (from 1-5).

For this purpose, 90 out of 143 companies were selected. The validity and reliability through survey management teachers and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was approved. The resulting analysis performed using SPSS and SMARTPLS software showed that Entrepreneurial orientation positively influenced the firms’ performance and innovation, and therefore firms’ innovation has the full mediation role in the relationship between Entrepreneurial orientation and firms’ performance. On the other hand, no direct path was found between Market orientation and firms’ performance; however, the paths between Market orientation and firms’ innovation; and also firms’ innovation and firms’ performance are confirmed. This means that firms innovation is partial mediate.
