One of the serious harms of management education in Iran is the weakness of the content of textbooks and the lack of attention to the practical dimension and skill-building in writing them. The purpose of this article is to review and compare management textbooks in the field of organizational behavior at home and abroad. After reviewing various books on organizational behavior that are taught in management schools in the country and abroad, four common textbook titles , two domestic book titles from SAMT Publication and two foreign book titles from McGrawHill Higher Education Publication were selected. Then by using the comparative case study method, the similarity and difference of these four books were analyzed and compared based on appearance and content indicators. The research findings show that the two domestic textbooks are mainly written with a theoretical approach and their content is not up to date, while the two foreign textbooks are compiled with a practical and skill-building approach and have flexible, up-to-date and integrated content. Then, the content of one of these books (as a benchmark) was examined in more detail. Finally, a framework for compiling and reviewing management textbooks in Iran was presented.

The purpose of this study is to extract the strategic themes and the predominant approach in the general policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran, announced by the Supreme Leader. In this policy research, 37 general policies were selected and analyzed. To analyze strategic themes, a basic codebook was developed based on the strategic management literature and research objectives. Then, the text of general policies was read several times and the strategic themes considered in the policies were counted using the thematic analysis method based on the codebook school. Using the thematic framework analysis, the general policies were analyzed in three thematic frameworks, including the strategic aspect, the core issue, and the prevailing approach. A total of 1413 policy codes were extracted, which were categorized in their strategic aspects in terms of goal, strategy, tactics, and law. The results of the analysis through using qualitative analysis software NVivo 12 show that the aspect of about 60% of policies is goals and strategies and the aspect of about 40% of them is tactics and law. About 75% of the policies are related to economic issues and 60% of the policies are focused on science and technology. Also, about 40% of the total content of policies is economic issues and about 30% of them are general, cultural, and social issues in equal proportions. The predominant approach of about 40% of policies is problem identification and solution, and the approach of about 40% of them is to seize opportunities. The approach of about 20% of general policies is crisis prevention and resolution. Finally, suggestions and guidelines for reviewing general policies are provided.

In random cone winding system، the patterning concept results in many problems in further processes، e. g. yarn breakage and/or early take off of the package. In current winding machines، there is no system to detect the patterning and consequently the anti-patterning system is working continuously. In this research، an online-computer-vision system is used to detect the concept of patterning through the linear mean and variance technique. In fact، photographs of bobbin surface are continuously taken with specified time interval. In this way، the mean or variance is calculated from columns within the image matrix، and a vector is obtained. Then again، the variance or the mean of the vector is calculated، thus a number is obtained for each matrix. Therefore، there are four methods including mean of mean (MOM)، mean of variance (MOV)، variance of mean (VOM) and variance of variance (VOV) to give the index number. Accordingly، a diagram of image number versus index value is plotted for each method، and a peak is perceived in place of patterning defect. By finding this peak، the moment of occurrence of defect is diagnosed، and the “patterning” can be recognized. The results show that among the four methods، the MOV is more accurate. Finally، this outcome is mathematically analyzed.

The administrative system is one of the most important elements in internal and external efficiency of any organizational role, they have a philosophical mind and logical thinking managers in the organizational culture will affect individual workers. In other words, this study seeks to answer the question of whether the philosophical mindedness of managers with organizational culture prisons in North Khorasan relationship or not? The research questions with regard to the three dimensions of philosophical mentality (comprehensiveness, flexibility, meditation) managers, and organizational culture indices were studied. The methodology used in this study is an applied descriptive. The population, prison managers and staff of North Khorasan in 1394 to 250 (of 100 managers and 150 employees) and using Grjsy table Morgan 40 managers (high and middle) and 80 employees were selected to. Measurement tools included two questionnaires with 60 items philosophical mindedness and reliability (81%) and organizational culture questionnaire with 60 items and reliability of 87% is based on the Likert scale. Research to analyze the data and decide confirm or reject hypotheses, Pearson correlation coefficient and the Pysazmany of the expected impact of philosophical mentality of manager's indices have been used multivariate regression culture. The results showed that the philosophical mindedness of managers and organizational culture with 95% confidence level and a correlation coefficient of 56 /. There is a significant relationship. The regression model analysis showed that the philosophical mindedness of managers able to predict 31% of variance in culture Samani employees and a total of 39% of the organizational culture of philosophical mentality is predicted by the flexibility and comprehensiveness of the philosophical mind of the greatest impact organizational culture is.

The seamless double layer fabrics are of special uses in industry. The strength of these fabrics is an important parameter due to different forces pushed on them. In the areas where there is a seam, the fabric has the lowest strength in comparison to other parts and this is the key point that shows the reasons of the importanceof strength of the seam in the industrial double layer fabrics. Present research provides a new method that increases the strength of the seam in double layer fabrics by shuttle less weaving machines. In this method, two layers of fabrics are joined each other during weaving, a hole is created in the joint of the two layers and the hole is filled by fillers with circular cross section. In fact, fillers with different diameters are employed for this purpose. The fillers with smaller diameters than the hole are used as half fillers and those with larger diameter are used as the full or complete fillers. The strength of these samples are then compared with those with holes and without fillers, two layer samples without hole (joined through the two layers), the sewed two layer samples and single layer fabrics. The results of finite element modeling indicate that the tensile strength of the seam increasesby adding fillers to the holes and increasing their diameters. Moreover, it is showed that, increasing of diameter of the hole does not affect the tensile strength of the seam for the samples filled with complete fillers.

Manufacturing strategy is, one of the most important factors in business planning process. In this study, an attempt is made to review the status of literature in manufacturing strategy. The focus of the study is to explore the differences that may exist between Iranian, Korean and Japanese firms in manufacturing strategies and business practices by analyzing survey results of IT firms from three countries. Differences between Iranian, Korean and Japanese firms are investigated in several dimension.

Some take management as equal to decision–making, since a major part of a manager’s duty to conduct an organization is to make appropriate decisions in different conditions. Every manager makes a rational decision according to the situations he is involved in. In management theories, there exist a lot of issues dealing with decision – making and this article is to survey the roots of rationality there. First, there is a definition of reason and rationality. Then comes a historical background of the two as understood by ancient, medieval and later philosophers. Also, different kinds of rationality in social and philosophical discourses are explained. Max Weber’s special status in such discourses and his idea of bureaucracy makes us dedsicate part of the discussion to him. Furthermore, an instance of rationalization of societies, what we may call the MacDonald type process in the world, is given. Finally, the status of rationality in the theory of organization and especially the decision–making issues are examined.
