Data from the collection of information from the subsidiary organizations is one of the ministries. In this study, two questionnaires were used in two dimensions: current situation and desirable situation and AHP questionnaire to weigh the criteria. The collected data were compared by paired comparison test of current and desired situation for successful implementation of succession planning. Finally, by regression analysis, the index which has the highest importance in succession planning is presented. The research method used in this research is descriptive survey. In the survey of descriptive studies, library studies and library studies have used interview and questionnaire. In this study, two variables were weighted according to the opinions of experts and using analytic hierarchy process (AHP). the result of paired comparison of criteria has shown that four indexes of determining work requirements and existing staff, organization strategy, competency/ establishment of competency model and talent and identification of talented people have the highest importance in succession planning in organization.

Despite the importance of diversification and industrial development, finding a suitable way to determine homogeneity and relevance is one of the main challenges in implementing this type of strategy. For this reason, applied studies using new methods of determining homogeneity seems necessary for solving real problems in the world of policy and strategy. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to identify products that are homogenous with the current products of the countrychr('39')s parts and equipment manufacturing industry. The method used in this research is the economic complexity approach that identifies homogenous production opportunities with the current capabilities of the Iranian parts and equipment manufacturing industry, based on the export data of 669 commodity codes under the parts and equipment manufacturing industry between years 2002 to 2017. The findings of this study indicate the existence of 28 homogenous production opportunities with the current situation of Iranchr('39')s parts and equipment manufacturing industry, which moving towards them will make the industry more diverse and complex. By producing these products, technological capabilities can be accumulated, and more export earnings can be achieved. Accordingly, the production of some types of turbines, engines, vehicle parts, tubes, machine parts and locomotives constitute a significant part of production opportunities in line with the Iranian parts and equipment manufacturing industry. Findings and methods used in this article can be used as a practical guide by industry policymakers and managers.

The data gathered through a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews with 24 senior and middle managers of the gas refining industry and academic experts in the field of sustainable development who had selected by purposeful sampling. After identifying key aspects of the sustainable development of Iranchr('39')s gas refining industry, the criteria derived from this process are used to formulate the vision and by analyzing the content of the data obtained from the interviews, the desired long-term future vision for Iranchr('39')s gas refining industry has been formulated from the perspective of sustainable development for the 1430. In the desired long-term future vision, the Iranian gas refining industry, while focusing on gas production as a core business, with expanding downstream industries, extracting all derivatives from gas, countervailing and compensatory measures in the area of climate change, strengthening and partnership with the Local communities, by providing an appropriate framework for transparency and reporting  the information to the community and taking appropriate measures to maintain environmental equilibrium, it works in a level beyond the production of gas by creating sustainable value for the community from the wealth of natural resources.

The purpose of this study was to explore the attitudes about the civil disobedience in a public organization. The research strategy was critical discourse analysis and the participants were 20 employees of the mentioned organization who were selected through maximal variation and typical sampling methods. Data collection fulfilled with the use of the semi-structured interview tool until the theoretical saturation. Data analysis was based on Fairclough three-stage method (description, interpretation and explanation). The findings led to the discovery of three discourses of civil disobedience as taboo, natural, and necessary behavior. According to the taboo discourse, civil disobedience is informal and destructive behavior with disfunctional consequences for the organization and is therefore considered unauthorized. In natural discourse, civil disobedience is an algebraic mechanism inherent in the nature of the organization, so that when the current routine of the organization is unable to meet the memberschr('39') demands for justice, a group of them will naturally engage in civil disobedience. In the essential discourse, civil disobedience is considered an acquired phenomenon by those members of the organization who have suffered psychological frustration and obstruction as a result of organizational injustice, and view it as the last resort and remedy for injustice in the organization.
