Depiction of the future is a significant problem dealt with in futurology. It may be accomplished by two approaches: first to induce people to accept a future we have drawn(inductive approach), and second to follow the future drawn by a divine religious system of thought as an everlasting system, and draw one`s perspective consistent with it(insightful approach). The first approach has been illegitimate and is thought to be a vain attempt. Therefore, to draw a religious, yet reasonable depiction of the future, one must follow the insightful descriptions of religion about the future(insightful approach). All religions have a rich tradition about the picture of the future, and its characteristics. In this study we aimed at providing a distinct description of the promised future by Islam, rested on the Quran`s and Hadith`s subject-matters in this field.The depiction of the promised future in Islam is hopeful and vibrant. It promises the prevalence of virtue over vice and domination of justice.

Futurology or future study with it's western approach is a new idea which has recently been introduced in our country. Nowadays, in the hubbub of "positivistic" societies there may remain few opportunities to represent Quranic and divine futurologies. But certainly the Quran and Narratives of Household of the Holy Prophet(A.S) have a profound insight to future, it's scenes and managers of those scenes. In a sense, the Quran is a book of the future and future building and the best source for insightful depiction of the future. In this path, it is necessary to the concerned about Quranic and Shiah futurologies's essentials and ideas and systematic development in our futurology literature.In this article, while glancing at futurology literature and futurology in the light of religion, there is an emphasise on "insightful depiction of the future" as one of the best ways of the divine futurology. Then it is tried to present the "attractive" and yet "Quranic" image from the future. But the focus of the article is to investigat the characteristics of the future managers in that image. In this path, by focusing on one of the Koranic verses, the "pious" have been introduced as the future managers of the human society and a lot of attempts have been made to investigate the meaning of "the pious" in order to express the characteristics, values, logic, of the future managers of the human society. The investigator hopes to have some part, even very small, in promoting the divine futurology of the Right Front by conducting the current study.

In parallel with the expansion of SCM concept in different industries, supply chain evaluation and measurement was also considered too. Performance measurement is a very important base for decision-making, planning and controlling. Nowadays there is a variety of models for performance evaluation, but lack of a comprehensive system for performance measurement among some cooperative organizations has still remained. One of the newest models for supply chain performance measurement is SCOR(Supply Chain Operation Reference), a process-based model that clarifies five main processes in supply chain context (Planning, Sourcing, Making, Delivering and Returning). Each of these processes include different activities and criteria so that taking action according to them will guarantee the efficiency and effectiveness of supply chain management.In Iran, Social Security Organization(SSO), possessing a pharmacy holding with numerous companies in the field of material & pharmacy production and a very expanded distribution system, has the main pharmacy market share. These set of companies compose a supply chain that the evaluation of its efficiency and effectiveness according to the SCOR model is the main aim of this article.

This paper studies the effect of human resource practices on organizational citizenship behavior by taking into consideration the moderate role of organizational commitment in Melat Bank. For this reason a questionnaire was distributed among 154 respondents.Structural equation modeling is used for the purpose of analyzing the obtainted data. Findings show that there is a positive relationship between human resource practices and organizational citizenship behavior. Also, in accordance with path analysis model, human resource practices can affect citizenship behavior through organizational commitment.

Strategic planning process and its product, as a framed plan, will lead to a context suitable for growth in which relationships and rules and also activities will get organized. Any system whose internal variables are more dynamic and are out of absolute control cycle, needs this plan more by including different scenarios. Educational system is made up of variables of less formative components; teachers, students and educational materials are the three components that comprise the system. Putting these components and other effective internal variables together on one side and the precise and less flexible goals of these systems, on the other side, can clarify significance of the strategic planning process application. In fact, having an un-strategic view for a productive educational center will not lead to the crystalization of any critical point. However a strategic plan with all of its spesifications and characteristics, is a matter of absolute necessity. In this study, the area of planning(and its specification strategy) regarding the paradigms and the existing models is defined. Then, the organizational view concerning the academic systems, how to distinguish different kinds of education is discussed seperately. Knowing how to distinguish different kinds of universities(mission - based) and the models used for strategic planning, a model suitable for the design and organizing strategies responding the educational domain of Imam Sadiq University(A.S) was suggested to match the model, general goals and strategies of university.

Nowadays universities, as nonprofit organizations, like profit organizations, have an abstruse and turbulent environment, an environment whose resources, effects and expectations are constantly changing. Authentic guidance of university through such unrest and turbulence to achieve its vision needs correct identification and perception of environment and its mutations, realistic assessment of internal competencies and weaknesses of organization and making smart strategic decisions. This status has predisposed using strategic planning models in universities. In order to speed up the move of the Imam Sadiq University toward its vision, this research has tried to design and formulate grand strategies for Imam Sadiq University`s research domain as one of the most important activities of this university- using a proper strategic planning model.

There is no doubt that nowadays technology is accounted as one of the most significant factors of economic and industrial development in the world. Countries use different ways and methods to facilitate technology transfer and transaction at local, national, international and global levels. Creating technomart(or techno-market) as center of technology transaction is one of the advanced mechanisms for the above aim. In Iran technology transfer and transaction do not have a stable and coherent system. This weakness has made many problems for technology suppliers(such as elites, universities, R&D centers and…) and technology demanders(such as government, industry, especially SMEs, investors,...). In this article, through studying benchmarks in the world and interviews with technomarts and expert and survey of related issues(such as technology law, technology evaluation and marketing, venture capital etc.) conceptual framework and operational implications for National Technomart in Iran have been presented. This paper explains the mission and objectives, departments and parts, ownership, internal process, infrastructures and communications in the national technomart of Iran. It's clear that using other countries, experiences and considering prerequisites and infrastructures would be helpful in planning and executing such a process.
