Finally, the methodological implications of strategic decision-making are organized under the four general headings of strategic decision-making methodology system, effective components in the processing of strategic decision-making methods, location of evidence for strategic decision-making processing, quality and goodness of explanation.

Introduction The emergence and processing of thought, theory, conceptual, and operational model of theological management of development, and thus the production of Quranic strategic decision-making knowledge, and solving strategic social and civilizational problems and challenges of Islamic-Iranian society depend on their methodical production and processing from revelatory teachings. Like any other scientific structure, the proper establishment of the epistemological structure of strategic decision-making knowledge based on the Quran requires attention to its "nature of paradigm fundamentals". Thus, every field of knowledge, such as the knowledge of strategic decision-making that seeks to enter the empirical reality for change, is rooted in the dominant world-view, and it cannot be designed and implemented without considering its paradigmatic principles. Therefore, to acquire the Qur'an-based knowledge of strategic decision-making, there is no option to adjust it epistemologically from the level of paradigm principals to the empirical level, based on revelatory teachings.MethodologyBased on the combined mechanism of the implication research method and implication logic in the literature of the science of principles and according to AL - ANFAL Surah, the present research sought to understand and explain examples of implications based on fundamentals of Epistemology related to the subject of strategic decision-making using thematic analysis and content analysis in ATLAS.ti software.Results and DiscussionThe research process led to the extraction of  192 primary codes, 14 basic themes, including1. The role of true and credible perceptions in strategic decision-making; 2. The role of the conscientious perceptions in strategic decision-making; 3. The role of the perceptions system in strategic decision making; 4. The decision-maker and in terms of subjectivity and objectivity; 5. The flow of thought elite knowledge in strategic decision making; 6. Discourse knowledge in contrivance and situation of management; 7. Discourse in the field of public knowledge and socio-cultural affairs; 8. Level of tendency (in the field of faith) in strategic decisions; 9. The level of action (in the field of piety) in strategic decisions; 10. The role and place of revelation, intuition, sense and reason in strategic decision making; 11. Credibility of intuitive and face-to-face resources in strategic decision making; 12. Credibility of product resources in strategic decision making, and 6 organizing themes, including: 1. The role and quality of the continuity of true, credible and conscientious perceptions in strategic decision-making; 2. Crystallization of the decision-maker in terms of subjectivity and objectivity; 3. discourse-creating knowledge of change in strategic decision-making; 4. the position of values in strategic decision-making; 5. resources of knowledge in strategic decision-making; 6. validity of knowledge resources in strategic decision-making, under an inclusive implication theme, namely the fundamentals of the Epistemology of strategic decision-making. The results of the present manuscript included an example of the fundamentals of Quran-based Epistemology in the field of strategic decision-making. The connection of this field of knowledge with religious sciences, on the one hand, gives a better and deeper understanding and analysis of events and problems, and consequently a more appropriate action, gives strategic decision-makers, and on the other hand  underlies the production, processing, and development of the theory and knowledge of strategic decision-making of the Quran by researchers, and thus the presentation of specific applied models for strategic managers from the perspective of religious (Quranic) thoughts in research and development objectivity.ConclusionParadigms and models are realized in epistemic, historical, cultural, and social tools and contexts, and even in territorial and regional, and it is required to pay attention to their ecology. If progress is considered as an approach and style of life and specific life world that a school - for example, Islam - has provided for human perfection and life; in addition to inherent features embedded in this lifestyle, the situation of time and place should also be taken into account to implement it and then, an instance should be designed from that life-world and lifestyle so that it can be implemented in that situation of time and place. Accordingly, it is necessary to seriously modify the ideological and practical foundations of macro level decision makers as well as the educational and research system of the country in accordance with the requirements of an Iranian - Islamic culture to respond to the current strategic issues of the country and scientifically and practically update the academic textbooks in the field of strategic management (and particularly strategic decision making). Hence, while enjoying the achievements of today’s knowledge, the epistemic foundations of this knowledge should naturally be adopted from the Quranic teachings and the prophetic tradition - administrators and compatible with Iranian culture.

Innovation has been the basis of the development and sustainability of social systems, and achieving innovation requires innovative behavior. Among the different types of leadership and decision-making styles, their relative and different effects in creating innovative behavior, shared leadership and strategic decision-making also play a key role in the occurrence of such behaviors. Therefore, this research was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of share leadership on innovative behavior with the mediating role of strategic decision making. Descriptive-correlation research method was structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the research included all the primary school teachers of two districts of Kermanshah in the number of 1150 people, using stratified random sampling method, 291 teachers were selected for the study. Standard questionnaires of shared leadership, strategic decision-making and innovative behavior were used to collect research data. Cronbach's alpha tests and confirmatory factor analysis were used to determine the reliability and validity of the questionnaires. Research data after collection were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation model in Lisrel and SPSS statistical software. The obtained results showed that shared leadership does not have a direct and meaningful effect on innovative behavior(0/48), but shared leadership has a direct and meaningful effect on strategic decision-making(0/73), and strategic decision-making has a direct and meaningful effect on innovative behavior(0/57), and finally, shared leadership has a mediating role in strategic decision-making. It has an indirect, positive and significant effect on innovative behavior.

Digital transformation is rapidly changing apparel retail organizations. The high speed of new knowledge and the uncertainty of the fashion world do not allow organizations to make strategic plans, and force them to make strategic decisions in this field. Identifying and conceptualizing the drivers of strategic decisions for the digital transformation of apparel retail organizations is the primary goal of this research by using the multi-grounded theory research strategy. In the theoretical grounding stage, twenty-three international articles were selected and codes and concepts were extracted using the metanalysis method. In the experimental grounding stage, interviews were conducted with seventeen experts, and the codes and concepts extracted from the metanalysis stage were re-examined, redefined, and completed. Finally, by going back and forth and enriching the theory, the conceptual framework model of strategic decision-making drivers of digital transformation in Iran's apparel retail was designed. The results indicate that the drivers of strategic decisions for the digital transformation of apparel retail organizations are in seventeen concepts and four categories under the headings of "organizational drivers," industry and market pressure," "government infrastructure requirements," and "environmental macro trends." The economic pressure and the spread of information technology and bio-social changes from the environmental macro trends and the expectation of financial performance and digital infrastructure of the organization and the employees' pressure from the category of organizational drivers and customer pressure and the pressure of the competitive environment from the category of Industry and market pressure seem to have the most importancecompared to other concepts.

In recent years, the issue of governance has entered the national sphere and emphasized the importance of strategic decisions. But making these decisions is always accompanied by errors and cognitive biases. the aim of identifying the cognitive biases of policy makers in governance strategic decision-making.

The current research has a applicative purpose and in terms of the type of data, it is a qualitative research. By searching for research keywords in foreign databases such as Emerald, Web of Science, Scopus, etc. and domestic databases such as Nurmagz, Mogiran , Civilica and... (researches from 1980 to 2024 and 1390 to 1402) the desired sources were found and the validity and reliability of the findings were confirmed by the face validity method by the expert center group and Kappa reliability equal to 0.72. The obtained sources have been identified by using the seven-step metacombination method of Sandelowski and Barroso (2007) coding and the desired components of the research.

According to the findings of the 22 selected final studies, 134 codes lead to 40 cognitive biases and in 5 main groups, they include biases related to decision making and judgment, information processing biases, awareness and perception biases, self-centered biases, and social biases. and a group has been identified.

The research results showed how decision-making is influenced and activated by internal and external biases. This research emphasizes that policy makers must recognize and manage their cognitive biases in each category and select appropriate information from a wide set of data.

Strategic foresight is the central core of many strategic management theories and increases the possibility of success of strategies in the four environments of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA). This study hinges on the complexity of mental representation. According to research literature, the degree of complexity of representation is contingent due to different contexts but it has not been investigated before. In this study, we extend the past literature to determine the patterns governing the relationship between representational complexity and strategic foresight in four different contexts (VUCA) using the Raugh set theory.However, the theoretical gap in the research literature is focused on what level of complexity of representation in what context of the four environments creates an acceptable strategic foresight. we have used the Raugh set theory to discover the patterns of the representational complexity achieving desired strategic foresight in different VUCA environments. The input of Raugh set theory includes two general types of decision and conditional variables. The conditional variables include "representational complexity" and "environmental context," and the decision variable also encloses "strategic foresight." The results show that when the future is difficult to predict (environments with uncertainty and ambiguity), simple and less complex representations create more useful strategic foresight. At the same time, when it is easy to predict the results of an action (complex and volatile environments), whether understanding the current situation is simple or intricate, using complex representations is more effective

The aim of this research is to discover and understand the behavioral model of strategic decision-making in Howza’ organizations. This study is developmental in terms of its purpose and is considered field study in terms of data collection method. The statistical population of this research is the Howza’ organizations of Iran, out of which 6 organizations were studied. In this study, the strategy of database theory was used to build the theory. After analyzing 30 interviews with managers of Howza organizations’ experts, 292 primary codes, 231 secondary codes, 89 concepts, 26 subcategories and 6 main categories were obtained. Finally, “strategic decision-making” was identified as a central phenomenon and became the axis of the paradigmatic model. In the assessed paradigm model, “organizational antecedents and drivers” as causal conditions, “Howza’ organizational culture” as actions and interactions (strategies), “intra-organizational factors” as intervening conditions, and “extra-organizational factors” as context conditions which cause strategic consequences. The strategic consequences include the categories of jihadi management, centralized management, the need to pay attention to strategy implementation and the need to pay attention to strategic control, which requires changing the pattern and type of behavior aimed at strategic decision-making in some circumstances by top managers of the organization.

The production and processing of ideas, theories, conceptual and operational models with a religion-based approach (Qur'an) in the field of progress management and in particular strategic decision-making, depends on their methodical production and processing within the revelatory teachings of the Holy Qur'an. In this regard, it is necessary to address the "what are the paradigm foundations" in order to establish the correct epistemological framework in the knowledge of strategic decision-making of the Qur'an. To this end, in the present article, an attempt has been made to understand and explain some of the implications based on the ontological foundations related to the subject of strategic decision-making, using content analysis and thematic analysis in ATLAS.ti software. These analyzes are based on the combined mechanism of the implication research method and implication logic in the literature of the science of principles and according to AL-ANFAL Surah. This process led to the extraction of 204 primary codes, 25 basic themes, and 6 organizing themes, including the nature of social realities in strategic decision-making, the role of human nature in strategic decision-making, the role of humans in strategic decision-making, the fate of phenomena in strategic decision-making, the role of divine traditions in strategic decision-making, the manifestation of truth, and the theological tradition in strategic decision-making. All six of these are subsets of a broader theme, the ontological foundations of strategic decision making. The results of this article can lay the groundwork for production, processing, and development of the theory and knowledge of strategic decision-making of the Quran by researchers, and thus the presentation of specific applied models for strategic managers from the perspective of religious (Quranic) thoughts in research and development objectivity.

The dependence of research on the state budget on public universities has caused the government's economic problems in recent years to adversely affect the status of academic research.

Nowadays the role and the importance of culture and art, in the elevation, development and flourishing systems of different societies is remarkable.therefore in regard to the high status of Iran in cultural and artistic activities on the one hand and the significance of evaluating cultural decisions in cultural and artistic institutions of a society on the other due to the pivotal place of an artistic center in the cultural system of a country, the necessity of performing this researchis remarkable. Culture is a set of customs, beliefs, values, norms, behaviors etc., which affects the societies. Art, too, as a part of culture, both influences it and is influenced by it. Since the subject of art and culture is a long lasting issue and observing the effects of artistic and cultural activities practically needs the passage of time the decision making should inevitably be done in adue and reasonable course of time.This research, after identifying different decision making periods in the Artistic Center and determining the adopted decisions in each period evaluates them on the basis of the Islamic attributes and strategic decisions in the field of culture and art. These attributes should be confirmed by the experts of the strategic and Islamic management. Then, the issue should be evaluated to find out to what extent the adopted decisions in each period has accomplished at least one of these goals. Thus, by organizing a matrix, the proper decisions of the Artistic Center based on the attributes of strategic decisions, Islamic decisions and the goals of Artistic Center can be reached.
