One of the prerequisites of organizational innovation as a superior advantage is the presence of leadership that is innovative and supporter of innovation. This research recognized and classified the defensive innovations of Martyr Mansour Sattari in the Air Force of I.R.I.

This applied research was conducted with a qualitative approach and thematic analysis strategy. The information sources of the research include texts and documents registered about Shahid Sattari, which have been purposefully selected and analyzed and analyzed with the help of the theme network tool.

His most important organizational innovations are grouped into four general categories: combat and operational innovations (such as innovative planning of combat operations, networking of air defense systems, air defense agility, air asymmetric warfare planning), infrastructural innovations (such as the establishment of Air University, SAHA and Ouj Nahaja Complex , redesigning the structure of Nahaja), scientific and technological innovations (such as designing and manufacturing war planes, promoting self-sufficiency of Nahaja, and network using industries) and developing innovative human capital (such as promoting a culture of self-sufficiency, management of talents and elites, knowledge and experience management plans).

Shahid Sattari's innovative leadership as the main driver of promoting organizational innovation in IRI Air Force has laid the groundwork for creative and synergistic use of air capabilities during his commanding period and after that in this defensive organization. Knowing these innovations can provide valuable knowledge to promote organizational innovation and provide its facilitating prerequisites.

Various frameworks have been presented for modeling innovation ecosystems. Despite the overlap of some components, each one lacks some components mentioned in the other, which can damage their boundary object. Therefore, the current research deals with the typology of modeling structures of innovation ecosystems.

The current research is exploratory in terms of purpose, basic in terms of usage, and secondary research in terms of the method using the systematic review process. To collect data, the library method and the phishing tool were used. The research community included modeling articles of innovation ecosystems and the research sample included 17 articles out of 1321 primary references. The research strategy in the analysis of articles is based on comparative qualitative content analysis and the quality control of the research is based on the criteria for measuring the quality of qualitative research.

based on analyzing selective articles , The modeling constructs of innovation ecosystems were identified and categorized into three levels: (1) Axial construct (active and passive) (2) actor-level construct (role emersion and types of acting roles) (3) background-level constructs including environment (institutional and Macro environmental conditions) , capacities (hard and soft) and orienteers (foresight, ecosystem vision and ecosystem life cycle).

The findings of the research enable the policy makers to modify, align and rearrange its constructs in terms of the multiple dimensions of the innovation ecosystems, and by avoiding the asynchrony or dispersion of the decisions of constructs, smoothen the ground for adopting flexible and realistic policies.

Today, with increasing environmental concerns, green process innovation is recognized as a vital strategy to improve the financial performance of companies. However, it is not clear how firms use resources at different levels of green process innovation. Therefore, in this research, the impact of different levels of green process innovation on financial performance with the moderating role of green social capital and implicit green needs of customers is investigated.

This research has a quantitative and descriptive survey approach. The research tool included a questionnaire whose validity and reliability were confirmed. The statistical population of the research was 432 companies of all Iranian stock exchange companies subject to the environmental guidelines. Due to the possibility of low participation rate, questionnaires were sent to these companies by census method, and finally 172 questionnaires were returned. Research data were analyzed using SPSS 26, SmartPLS 3, and Lisrel software.

Green process innovation has a positive effect on financial performance in companies with a higher than average level and has a negative effect on financial performance in companies with a lower than average level. Also, variables of green social capital and implicit green needs moderate the relationship between green process innovation and financial performance.

Applying green process innovation does not always create higher financial performance, but only a high level of green process innovation can increase financial performance

A road map shows the layout of existing or possible routes and roads in a specific geographical location. A strategic roadmap is a visual tool of what the organization needs to do to succeed in achieving its long-term goals. Roadmap is a method of process planning in the form of step-by-step and layer-by-layer in the context of time and oriented towards the future. This research seeks to identify and prioritize effective criteria and strategies on the road map of defense logistics research centers.

 This Research is practical ,exploratory and quantitative in terms of purpose, nature ,method& type of data. The statistical population includes experts in the field of strategic management and roadmap. Identification and prioritization of strategies and criteria was done by 12 experts who were selected as snowballs. The method of data collection was in the form of library, field, and the use of experts' opinion and collection tools were researcher-made questionnaires. Validity and reliability of the questionnaire were checked and confirmed through face validity and inconsistency rate, respectively. The softwares used are Excel and the software of expert choice.

The most important criterion of the roadmap of research centers is human capital; The most important strategy is the strategy of applying and implementing research findings and specialized knowledge in the units; And the most important selected criterion is financial resources.

Based on the results of priority criteria, strategies and relative and overall priority of strategies and guidelines and suggestions, it is possible to compile and present the road map of defense logistics research centers.

The advent of novel technologies in the digital age has brought about a transformation in the contemporary business environment and provided an opportunity for innovation. As a result, organizations must adapt to these changes to ensure their survival. Consequently, this study aims to assess the impact of strategic flexibility and digital leadership on digital transformation and exploratory innovation with the mediating role of digital entrepreneurship orientation.

The current research is an applied research in terms of its purpose and a descriptive-survey research in terms of its method. The statistical population of the research comprises 180 active companies located in the science and technology park and growth and innovation centers of West Azarbaijan province, and using Morgan's table, 123 companies were selected as a sample and the questionnaires were distributed and completed in a non-random way. In order to analyze the data, SPS 26 and SmartPLS 4 software were used.

The results of hypothesis test confirmed the direct impact of digital leadership and strategic flexibility on digital transformation and exploratory innovation. Additionally, the effect of digital leadership through digital entrepreneurship orientation on exploratory innovation was confirmed.

The achievement of success in digital transformation is directly contingent on the qualities and competencies of an organization’s leaders. Leaders play a pivotal role in establishing the prerequisites for a culture of innovation and enduring change within the organization, thereby ensuring its success and longevity amidst the current era of digital transformation. The deployment of digital technologies alone is insufficient to guide an organization towards its objectives; it is the digital leadership that serves as the catalyst and trailblazer of digital transformation.
