To achieve this goal, after investigating literature of each variables, a conceptual modern with eight hypothesizes was presented in which hypothesizes were investigated and through active companies in small and medium size industries of Yazd. In this investigation, we used structural equation modeling approach based on partial least squares method. The results of this study show that green product development effects directly on the environmental performance and organization operating performance.

This study aims to provide practical solutions to enhance the level of organizational innovation of print media, particularly widely circulated newspapers, based on the intellectual capital mediated by knowledge management and organizational learning using structural equation modeling technique. The research objective is applied and its method is descriptive-correlational. The statistical population includes senior and middle managers of the widely-circulated newspapers in Tehran. 175 subjects were selected using cluster random sampling method based on Morgan table. Data were collected through a standard questionnaire. The content validity was confirmed by the experts and the structural validity was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis statistical technique. The reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The results showed that the intellectual capital directly and indirectly affects the organizational innovation in widely-circulated newspapers.

In recent years , increased the sensitivity of the competition in the market, because nature of competition has changed since investments in tangible resources to invest in intangible resources. The company's success is their ability to adapt to rapid changes in technology and market conditions. Human capital can be strategic assets and create competitive advantage for companies. In this context, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of human capital on wealth creation for shareholders. Sample of 146 firms during the period 1388 to 1392 is the Stock Exchange. Fuzzy regression was used to test the research hypothesis. Control variables consider for this study, including firm size, return on assets and financial leverage. Current research suggests there is a significant relationship between human capital and wealth creation for shareholders. Higher human capital is associated with higher- yielding assets. However, there is not a significant relationship between firm size and leverage with human capital.

Despite organizations become technological and are changed into a pile of hardware nowadays, the role of human as a vital and strategic factor for survival of organization is noticeable. Human resources are the most worth resource in modern organization. Because they form organizational decisions, solve the organizational problems and materialize productivity. As human resources are important and have a noticeable role in the organization, human resources allocation is important too. This research has been performed in 23 Shiraz emergency centers. For practical use of models, important factors for optimal human resources allocation in Shiraz emergency centers were determined by interview and checklist. Then human resources allocation was done in 23 Shiraz emergency centers by using CDEA model. Number of missions, ambulances and requests were predicted for efficiency calculation after optimal allocation by regression method. Efficiency comparison after and before allocation showed efficiency average has increased in centers

In one way, policy process scholarship has been enriched considerably since 1980s and stage heuristics approach (including stages such as problem identification. Proposing, affirmation, implementation, and evaluation) has been replaced by new theoretical views such as punctuated equilibrium theory, advocacy coalition framework, multiple streams framework, policy diffusion model, policy feedback theory, and so on. On the other way, there are three emergent research streams in policy process scholarship: (1) using theoretical views on different policy areas and then comparing their explanatory power, (2) comparing theoretical views together, and (3) combing and integrating them to achieve grand and broad theoretical view. Yet, examinations revealed that many of Iranian policy process scholars use policy stage heuristic as an analytical and descriptive lens and don’t consider testing, critiquing, and developing new theoretical lens of policy process. In this regard, we have recommended many guidelines to tuning up and accelerating policy process studies in Iran.

Considering the factors that enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of organizations was always noteworthy.

In this study, the relationship between organizational commitment and entrepreneurial orientation has been reviewed. Statistical research community includes all the employees of the municipal welfare organization of recreational and art in Isfahan province. The statistical sample to the number of 91 which of the above community which is randomly selected and have been using the questionnaire required information is obtained. The results obtained from this study suggest that there is a significant and positive relationship between the dimensions of emotional and continuous commitment with the entrepreneurial orientation dimensions. But there is no significant relationship between normative commitments with entrepreneurial orientation. As a result the main research hypothesis to be confirmed.

Denison’s Organizational Culture Model (DOCS) was used widely by academics and practitioners today. However we included the papers has published in Iranian journals that was published in several Iranian universities in a systematic review and results of a meta-analysis suggested that all cultures’ traits; involvement, Consistency, adaptability, and mission have similar measures. We found some methodological errors in the Denison and Mishra (1995) paper. First of all the correlation test wasn’t suite statistical test to compare the four traits of organizational cultures. And finally the five point Likert measurement in not good enough to measure the traits of organizational cultures. We should be concerned about the relation between organizational effectiveness and four traits of organizational cultures based on these methodological errors.
