One of the most valuable and unconquerable available assets in projects are the knowledge created during their execution. in case such knowledge is recognized، acquired and distributed suitably can be an optimized resources to be used in conducting future projects. People movement also replaced the acquired knowledge so in this situation the knowledge and experiments can only be accessible through informal and individual networks. So as to manage knowledge of past projects systematically، a systematic procedure is to be defined to acquire، store and distribute that knowledge in organization. In this article a model for knowledge management in project- based organizations has been defined. The model has two levels so that it can guide and meet the target of project-based organizations in managing part of implicit knowledge of projects in a defined procedure. Finally this model has been confirmed by interviewing 18 knowledge management experts.

Strategic thinking is a combination of individual creativity، efficacy، intuitive involvement and understanding in organization. In present text it is attempted to explain intuition and creativity thoroughly. In articles so far written the place of creativity and intuition have not received the required attention and resulted in its disappearance in important discussions such as strategic thinking. Recent research is reviewal and from target dimension it is almost applicatory and from research point of view it is descriptive. Based on what has been said and the results obtained from the study of the strategy domain thinkers it is understood that creativity and intuition play very effective role in improvement of strategic thinking of individual particularly managers in organization. Regarding this issue، organization should pay much more attention to these factors of creativity and intuition to attain such style of thinking.

Researchers have found the direct and indirect effects of stress on individual and its consequences through different researches carried out in different periods and organizations. Furthermore many researchers have compared police profession with other professions in the field of stress and have warned extensively that the police profession in a particular way is full of stress. Therefore the theorists have stated different factors for stress. in this article the factors related to work/organization، individual factors and attitudinal factors /psychological factors due to gender differences were studied. The results and the individual and organizational consequences of these factors have also been explained. Previous research review indicated that the work environment problems to much extent have influence on stress police forces felt due to family social support، work group، social and organizational conditions and minority position they held in organization (due to gender، ethnic and racial groups). furthermore in more researches the women have been reported that they have more specific work environment problems than men. That is they are under stress for reasons other than problems they experience in work environment. The results indicated that the intervenes such as management strategies، supervision، training and development of organization norms and standards can have an important role for controlling level of police forces stress.

Purpose – The aim of this paper is to investigate the extent to which espoused values among policemanagers in the Norwegian police force are compatible with those of a learning organization. Design/methodology/approach – A questionnaire was developed and administered to police managers in two police districts in Norway. A set of values was developed to measure police culture and their significant correlation with those of a learning organization. All values were believed to represent cultural dimensions of potential importance to law enforcement performance. Findings – It was found that police managers espoused values of informality and empowerment rather than authority and hierarchical order. These values are the only police values that are found to be significantly correlated with those of a learning organization. Moreover، these findings contradict the previous literature within policing، which describes a police culture of hierarchy، authority and closeness. Also، these values only represent two of the eight values that were found to be crucial for becoming a learning organization. Research limitations/implications – There is a need for police managers to both espouse and enact values in accordance of those of a learning organization، but this study only investigates espoused values. Hence، further research is needed to investigate the possibilities for the Norwegian police force to become a learning organization. Originality/value – The paper provides empirical research to generate insights into espoused values of the Norwegian police force and identifies those values that are crucial for their possibilities of becoming a learning organization.
