IntroductionThe advent of virtual space in the last few decades is one of the main signs of a global transformation. To invest and efficiently use digital technologies, the attention of the senior managers of these organizations has increased towards the process of framing a suitable digital strategy in proportion to the general strategies of the organization. The key challenge of formulating a successful digital strategy is coordinating it with the varying needs of stakeholders in the field of digital technologies. Digital strategy is a practical plan that clarifies the set of necessary actions to determine how to use digital technologies in the main business sectors to attain precise goals that will eventually create new and different value for the stakeholders as well as the transformation of the organization. The digital strategy must integrate all the organization's plans in the field of using digital technologies by creating a digital ecosystem and thus transform the business. Alterations in banking mean rethinking customer relations, innovation in value, and responding to customer needs. Unfortunately, most banks have failed to move towards fundamental changes. Reactions to variations in the digital age are slow, and even in some cases the banking system strongly resists fundamental changes. Because it is hard to change to something you don't know. the current research seeks to provide a roadmap for businesses and organizations that are looking for digital transformation after counting the key components of digital strategy success. Likewise, considering that the atmosphere governing the banking industry is leading in the field of digital transformation compared to other industries, these factors will be investigated in the banking industry to offer more operational solutions. MethodologyThe current research, in terms of the type of data, is in the category of two-way (mixed) research. Likewise, regarding the goal, it is placed in the category of “exploratory (formative)” researches, and in terms of function, it is placed in the category of “applied” researches. Based on the definitions, the current research is a sequential exploratory design, which was first extracted and analyzed by using the evidence related to documents and reports and coding and analyzing the content of the interviews of experts and influential people in the bank. In the quantitative phase, by using DEMATEL, which is a mixed method and only has a quantitative phase in the final phase, it has been determined the significance and priority of the effective factors. To collect information, commonly, two library (document) and field methods have been used. First, to collect information in the field of theoretical foundations and research literature, research-related sources such as theoretical literature on the key success factors of digital strategy were collected, and then data were collected through interviews. The main data in this research was collected through interviews with experts and the semi-structured interview was the basis of the researcher's work. In the current research, firstly, to identify the key success factors of digital strategy, the thematic analysis method was used with the help of MAXQDA software for data analysis, and then DEMATEL was used to determine the priority, significance, and relationships of the factors. Discussion and ResultsThe results of the questionnaire are depicted in the figure below, which shows the pattern of meaningful relations. This pattern is in the form of a chart where the longitudinal axis is D + R values and the transverse axis is based on D - R. The position and relationships of each factor are determined by a point with coordinates (D + R, D - R) in the system. Each factor is examined from four aspects: The degree of influence of the variables: the sum of the elements of each row (D) for each factor designates the influence of that factor on other factors of the system. In the current research, the role of bank governance in applying and solving problems has the most influence. The degree of effectiveness of variables: the sum of the elements of the column (R) for each factor indicates the degree of effectiveness of that factor from other factors of the system. In the present research, human capital is in the highest rank of effectiveness in terms of digital transformation. The horizontal vector (D + R) discloses the influence of the desired factor in the system. Put differently, the higher the D + R value of a factor, the more interaction that factor has with other system factors. In the current research, the role of bank governance in implementing and solving problems has the most influence. The vertical vector (D - R) shows the influence of each factor. Generally, if D - R is positive, the variable is considered a cause variable, and if it is negative, it is considered an effect. In the present research, the role of bank governance in implementing and solving problems are considered to be the effect. ConclusionIn line with the pattern of relationships between the key success factors of the digital strategies of the banking industry of Iran, the DEMATEL technique was used and the diagram of the pattern of relations was mentioned in the previous sections. In this context, it should be stated that the factor of the bank's governance role in implementing and solving problems was identified as the most important factor, and this factor was the most influential, and it was mentioned as one of the most important causes of creating other factors and guaranteeing the success of the digital strategies of the Iranian banking industry. Other factors such as information technology and its infrastructure and international relations and global trends were also identified as the causes of other factors. Likewise, the factor that has the utmost effect on digital transformation and the implementation of digital strategies in banks is human capital in banks. Consequently, banks and organizations in general should do proper planning for their existing and desired human capital.

A startup is any company that works to grow, commercialize, and create entirely new goods, services, or mechanisms, driven by intellectual property or new technology. Startups have a significant impact on economic development. In addition, by creating jobs and wealth through innovation and technological activities, they have made important changes in the social, economic and even political context of countries. In the current era, startups or start-up companies play a significant role in entrepreneurship. These companies have played a prominent role in the development of the knowledge-based economy and are the source of many social developments. Innovation by start-up companies is one of the ways to increase competitive advantages and is considered one of the most important strategic approaches of companies to achieve long-term success. Startups have become the driving engine of the economies of developing countries, but many of them cannot continue their activities in the long term. Twenty percent of startups are out of competition in the first year and more than half of them in the first five years. In this regard, the aim of this research is to discover the factors affecting the success of startups. This research has been done with a qualitative approach using the phenomenological method. Fourteen managers of successful startups in the two provinces of Qazvin and Zanjan were selected by using criterion-based purposive sampling (being active and profitable) and data were collected using semi-structured interviews. Data analysis was done with the Colaizzi’s seven-step method. First, the text of the interviews was carefully read several times. Then the meaningful statements were identified. In the next stage, the meaning of these statements was formulated and organized in the form of organizing themes (thematic clusters). Then these clusters were described and then, the description of the underlying structure of the phenomenon under study was formulated. Finally, the analysis process was completed by validating the findings by receiving the feedback from the participants. : After the data analysis, factors affecting the success of successful startups were extracted in the form of 8 organizing themes and 26 basic sub-themes. The main themes are: "systems thinking", "active foresight", "creativity and innovation", "organizational learning", "team building", "financing", "business skills", and "market-orientation".The category of system thinking includes the three basic themes of adaptability, planned growth, and inter-functional coordination. The category of active foresight consists of the four basic themes of goal-setting, self-efficacy and hard work, experience and interest in work, and risk-taking. The category of creativity and innovation includes the three basic themes of creative ideation, the use of new technologies, and the design and production of applied products. The category of organizational learning consists of the three basic themes: acceptance of change, continuous learning and knowledge sharing. The category of team building includes the three basic themes of specialization, teamwork, and responsibility and accountability. The category of financing consists of two the basic themes of attracting capital and generating income. The category of business skills includes the three basic themes of problem solving, decision making, and advertising and information. And finally, the category of market-orientation consists of the five basic themes of choosing the target market and creating differentiation, customer orientation, publicity, product development and diversification, and providing service and support. Although having a creative idea is necessary to launch a startup and it is the main challenge of many founders to start a new investment, but it alone cannot guarantee its success. On the other hand, identifying and exploiting the opportunity also plays a prominent role in the success of startups, but the use of new technologies has improved the ability to generate ideas. Formulating a suitable growth strategy, foresight, having an expert team, financial strength, marketing and learning capabilities are other key success factors of startups. It should be noted that the systemic thinking is a necessary condition and a turning point in designing the structure and patterns of startup activities to adapt to technological changes and customer needs, and to connect them with each other. With this thinking, startups can intelligently make find the necessary preparations to face the upcoming opportunities and threats wisely.

 In today's world, change and dynamism of organizations is one of the basic principles that managers according to the principle must modify the systems in such a way as to be compatible with environmental conditions. Process automation and the use of standard methodologies for process design in large organizations lead to the achievement of strategic business goals such as reducing total costs, controlling risk and protecting intellectual property. The business process management system is presented with the aim of automating the workflow of organizational processes and the possibility of creating monitoring and management of processes. These systems try to manage the entire life cycle of processes from definition and modeling to execution and optimization under IT-based tools. The risky nature of business process management requires a careful examination of the key factors of success and failure. As the name implies, the goal of any key success approach is to identify the set of factors that the manager has considered for his or her success. The key success factors identified for business process management are often specific. The key to the success of a country's or an industry's operating companies is seldom acknowledged by other countries. Organizations have many potential technologies and operational factors that can play an important role in the success and failure of business process management projects. Limiting this set of factors, which are crucial, is necessary to reduce the complexities of decision-making and management. Given these complexities, organizations need to focus on key success factors, especially to implement business process management. By better understanding the key success factors of the business process, an organization can easily identify similar solutions to eliminate or prevent the most common causes of implementation failure. According to what was stated, in this study, we tried to identify the key factors of success in the process of sports businesses in Iran and then provide a model for classifying these factors so that Iranian sports businesses can use it specifically to implement the process management system. Evaluate the business in your organization and in addition, due to the lack of extensive and correct use of this system in organizations, this model can be a guide for suppliers and users in the country. 

This research is applied in terms of purpose and due to the combination of qualitative and quantitative research is part of mixed research. The interviewees in the study included managers, marketing professors, business owners, startups, and sports entrepreneurs across the country. The statistical population was a small part of the same people in addition to graduate students in the field of physical education and the final questionnaire was given to them. 275 questionnaires were answered correctly. In this research, grounded theory was used. Data analysis was performed in two sections: descriptive statistics and inferential statistics using Smart PLS and SPSS software. 

The data were divided into 10 concepts by examining open codes and analyzing them. These concepts include infrastructure and supportive (5 codes), business plan (7 codes), access to capital (4 codes), legality (5 codes), branding (3 codes), networking (5 codes), entrepreneurship readiness (3 codes), technology (4 codes), demanding (5 codes) and advertising and marketing (5 codes). The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that the research model has a good fit and its validity and reliability were confirmed and the key factors of success in sports businesses derive from the identified components. Finally, the results of Friedman ranking test showed that there is a significant difference among the components of key factors of success of sports businesses, and the highest average and 1st rank is related to access to capital and the lowest average and 10th rank is related to technology.

From the research sample point of view, the existence of capital is the most important factor for the development and success of a sports business; This result also seems logical because despite the initial and large capital, the development of businesses is accelerating, and on the other hand, many sports businesses require high initial costs that are beyond the ability of everyone. So this finding is justified. The second priority is related to the business plan. In all the findings, it was directly stated that a sports startup without a preliminary plan is a useless and already failed task, because despite today's volatile market, one cannot succeed without planning and business plan. So it is not surprising that the second priority from the perspective of the research sample is related to this factor. The third priority is related to the component of legality. As in the results of the confirmatory factor analysis, legitimacy was highly correlated with the success of sports businesses; it is also a priority here. Legality specifically refers to sports business owners making sure that they have the right to own their idea, that the rules are not rigid, that they prevent corruption, and that they contribute to success in general. The fourth priority was the networking component, which ensures the long-term success of a sports business. Networking must be embedded in all the principles of a sports business in order to envision operational plans for the future and lead to the development of the sports business. Therefore, this component should be one of the most important priorities. The fifth priority is related to the advertising and marketing component. It is obvious that many of the products and services consumed are due to modern advertising and marketing practices. Therefore, advertising and marketing for any sports business should be one of their main programs that can be successful in its shadow. Next, the priority was related to the components of demanding, entrepreneurship readiness, infrastructure and supportive, branding and technology, each of which in turn has a great impact on the success of sports businesses.

 Corporate governance is one of the key success factors (KSFs) of international joint ventures (IJVs) as one of the most common types of the strategies which is being using by the companies that intend to operate internationally. In spite of the importance of this key success factors, the lack of a research which determined How corporate governance will improve the performance and productivity of international joint ventures, and recognized how it will lead to innovative performance on them. The reason of such this research gap is because of this perspective which the findings of the general researches in the field of corporate governance, can be extended to the international joint ventures structure as new firm as well. But, because of complex nature of these entities, the extension of the findings of other types of organizational structures to international joint ventures type is not accurate extension. Therefore, this article intends to recognize the factors which have effect on improve the performance and productivity of international joint ventures and determined how these factors will lead to innovative performance on them. 

The systematic literature review is research method. Thus, the related literature was systematically reviewed over a period of one year (from September 2018 to September 2019) from the on-line databases such as Sage, Elsevier, Springer, Willy and etc. In the first step, while determining and specifying the subject of study, the research questions were developed in accordance with the research design. In the next step, the research protocol was designed and an appropriate mental model was designed accordingly based on PICOC model which consist of Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, and Context. Subsequently, inclusion and exclusion criteria were determined. Accordingly, the comprehensive and systematic search began within the literature and 400 studies were considered. After classification, screening, and measurement of their quality (methodological assessment based on Caldwell's proposed method), 60 studies were finally examined in depth (through a detailed review of their abstracts, introduction, methodology, and results) and the required data were collected. Then, in the last step, the obtained data were classified, codified (using open coding method through Excel software) synthesized and finally summarized. 

Three factors manifested in the cooperation agreement and affecting productivity and performance, and five factors that directly affect governance in the success of international joint ventures. In other words, corporate governance and its related factors play a critical role in the success of international joint ventures. 

According to the diversity of detected factors, it can be concluded that corporate governance play critical role on the success of the international joint ventures and international joint ventures are a complex organizational structure and multi-dimensional concept which cannot be undermined and treated like other types of organizations. Thus, results can be as a guide to any types of mutual collaborations especially to the international joint ventures because of its unique and complex nature.
