The social organizations that have tasks need human resources to achieve the highest level of productivity. In order to playing role human resources in the organization's agility in the Iranian administrative system, it requires to explant a pattern. The purpose of this study is a combination of human resource management activities in the Iranian administrative system with the focus on agile social organization. This research of method is descriptive and survey, and in terms of purpose, it is a development. Data were collected by library and field methods. 9 dimensions of agility, 5 dimensions and 30 components of human resource management were obtained by reviewing the literature and research background and expert opinion. The identified components were screened in three stages using the Delphi technique. Then using the best-worst (BWM) method, the importance factor or weight of the components for agile social organizations was obtained. Finally, by combining dimensions and components, the model of human resource management in agile social organizations in Iran was obtained. The highest degree of importance among human resource management dimensions was "absorption", and also among the components was “Selecting based on meritocracy, meritocracy and centralized selection".

Research and development (R&D) department is an essential and critical section for all organizations, which are eager to actively participate in markets and strategies on R&D management. Today’s investment in this field has been approved and all organizations are aware of its role to increase competitive risk. Improving R&D departments and promoting the efficiency of companies can help a country to move toward knowledge-based economy and also assist to stop illogical exchange currency flow to foreign countries against import of technology transfer from them. A problem in a domestic market is the lack of the R&D strategy to produce new products and promote the customer’s satisfaction level in industrial companies. The objective of this research is to introduce a two-phase decision-making approach to assess R&D strategies in automotive battery industries stressing on the customer’s satisfaction parameter. In the first section, the practical strategies on R&D management and the effective indices of the customer’s satisfaction on R&D strategies are recognized. In the second section, weighting coefficients related to customer’s satisfaction indices are reached by utilizing the fuzzy best-worst method (FBWM) as an effective multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method. Moreover, the weight of any individual strategy and their final prioritization is calculated using the analytical method of the interval-valued triangular fuzzy - gray relation analysis (IVTFN-GRA). Based on the results gained from the proposed FBWM, three effective factors in evaluating R&D strategies in an automotive battery industry are recognized. Finally, among the existing strategies, the joint R&D strategy with 0.375 rate is selected

Data in various organizations has become a valuable asset and data governance has become one of the priorities of the organization. A review of previous studies shows that the assessment of the implementation of the data governance system in organizations is done qualitatively and organizations cannot determine a plan to improve their situation based on this type of assessment. The purpose of this paper is to provide a quantitative way to measure the level of implementation of data governance in an organization and subsequently plan to improve the status quo. Due to the qualitative nature of the influential factors in measuring the success rate, fuzzy concepts have been used for modeling and analysis. Also, in order to consider how the factors affect each other, the fuzzy cognitive mapping technique has been used to model the causal relationships between the factors. Then, the identified influential factors have been weighted and prioritized using the best-worst fuzzy method and the DEMATEL technique, and subsequently, scenarios of improving the situation of the organization have been designed to plan for the effective allocation of limited resources of the organization. This research has significant practical implications for the organizations that intend to establish such a system or are in the middle stages of implementation and are looking for a solution to find a plan to improve the situation.

The growing trend of the world towards new technologies and the formation of smart cities, despite their capabilities and benefits, has raised serious concerns about cybersecurity threats and citizens' privacy challenges. Tehran is no exception to this rule in the transition to a smart city. The present paper, in a descriptive survey study, aims to provide a framework for managing cybersecurity and privacy challenges in the transition of Tehran to a smart city. In this research, these challenges are identified by in-depth library studies as well as the implementation of fuzzy Delphi method among a sample of organizational experts (including ten senior managers and relevant officials of the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, Tehran Municipality Information and Communication Technology Organization, and cyber police). Moreover, the degree of importance (weight) of each challenge is determined by the Fuzzy Best-Worst method (FBWM). The findings of this study indicated the high capability of the proposed framework in identifying and accurately weighting these challenges under uncertainty.

The aim of purchasing portfolio is commodity classification to determine the suitable purchasing strategy. In this research, we propose a new method for the classification of commodities with the extension of purchasing portfolio approaches. Indeed, the purpose of this research is to determine the appropriate purchasing strategy for commodities with the consideration of purchasing portfolio. Furthermore, first, by reviewing the literature and surveying the specialists and databases, the dimensions of profit impact, market complexity, and the balance of supplier and buyer power were considered and appropriate criteria for classifying commodities and services were determined. After determining the number of dimensions, the weight of the criteria in each dimension was calculated using the best-worst method. Then, using the TOPSIS method, the score of commodities was obtained in each dimension and the position of the commodities and services was determined on a matrix. To determine the most suitable strategy by considering commodity position based on three defined dimensions, at first, the appropriate strategies were collected by reviewing the research literature, and then, the most appropriate strategy for each category of commodities was determined. Finally, the proposed method was implemented for the commodities of a company, and the results were presented.
