The purpose of this study is to design a model for strategic monitoring of general policies implementation in Islamic Republic of Iran. The study takes a practical aim and uses exploratory research design. After putting forth the theoretical framework, the model was designed through interview (qualitative data) and questionnaire (quantitative data) taken from 62 experts in the area of policy making and governing. The data were, then, analyzed through structural equation modeling. The suggested model consists of ten aspects: monitoring the designed general policies, monitoring the notions of designing general policies, monitoring the path of general policies implementation, monitoring the grounds for general policies implementation, monitoring the requirements for general policies implementation, monitoring the supreme leader's notions on general policies implementation, monitoring the features of executives in general policies implementation, monitoring the sources and influential environmental aspects of general policies implementation, monitoring the achievements of general policies implementation, and processes, cautions, and requirements of monitoring general policies implementation. Each of these aspects consists of subcategories, i.e. 53 categories and 110 subcategories.

One of the main aspects of reforming the administrative system and improving the management is to select qualified managers based on practical and unambiguous criteria which is emphasized in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the general policies of the administrative system by the supreme leader. Accordingly, it is imperative to consider the effective criteria of qualification, whether they are political or nonpolitical. In fact, research findings suggest that the political criteria result in the negligence of the qualified managers. So, this study aims to analyze the role, effect, and influence of the political criteria in selecting the managers through the case study of the national oil company of Iran in order to ease the process of applying the general policies of the administrative system. The study attempts to suggest a model to show the relationship among the criteria based on the literature. The research approach is quantitative, of a practical type through a descriptive-survey method. After prioritizing the criteria and suggesting the interpretive structural model by 12 experts in the field, the findings showed the general policies of development in the oil industry in general, and the socio-cultural and economic factors in particular, are the most effective criteria and intra- and extra-organizational interventions. Using MicMac analysis, we measured the effectiveness of the political factors, based on which the political factors were grouped as the relational variables. Finally, the limitations and suggestions for further study were provided.

Estimating the effective factors of Iranian goods adoption through induction processes is a much neglected area of research. The aim of this study, however, is to explore the effective factors on the Iranian goods adoption knowledge in social media. Mixing the meaning-making theory, social influence theory, information rich theory, fear attraction theory, and potential contribution method, a model for the Iranian goods adoption knowledge was constructed. This is a practical research which follows a descriptive-survey method. The research population is the customers of Pars-Khazar company in the social media, 127 of whom were selected through census sampling. The research sample answered to a 5-point likert scale. SPSS and PLS smart software were used for data analysis. This study tested the intervention variable of trust in the process of Iranian goods adoption knowledge. The findings showed that the knowledge richness had a significant positive effect on trust in general, and trust in Iranian goods adoption through knowledge quality, knowledge consensus, and knowledge richness in particular.

One of the most important and fundamental principles in economic policy is to study the effects of using monetary policy and government control and sanctions on economic and non-economic variables. One of the important economic issues that is of special interest to economists and economic policymakers is investment, which is discussed in the present study. This article is aimed at examining the effects of monetary policy, government control and sanctions on the type of investment during the years 1979to 2019. The statistical population of the present study will be the economic information of Iran; In this study, monetary policy, government control and sanctions of independent variables and investment of dependent variables were considered. Research hypotheses should be analyzed and analyzed to estimate the proposed patterns and test the hypothesis proposed using econometric methods and using the simultaneous equation system and using Eviews software; The results showed that monetary policy in the form of regulating bank interest rates and also in terms of changing the volume of liquidity affects investment in economic sectors. In addition, government control has had a negative impact on investment in various economic sectors, and ultimately economic sanctions have had a negative impact on investment in services and industry and a positive impact on agriculture.

When new needs arise, societies give more responsibilities to the governments. The variety of these responsibilities and the resource limitation of the government have made the governments to respond accordingly and prioritize their resources. One of the main aspects of policy making is the annual budgeting of the country. Most of the general budgeting is done via the legislative body which has a key role in supervising the budget. However, this supervisory role is different in many countries, which necessitates a comparative study. Moreover, the legislation should be done according to the higher documents issued by the supreme leader. The most important aspect of executing the general policies is legislation which requires adjusting the budgeting laws with the general policies of legislation to execute and supervise the laws in the best possible way. The role of legislation body is significant in this respect. This study tries to focus on the supervision and analysis of the annual budgeting of IRI. To have a better understanding of this process, a comparative study with Turkey and Iraq is done as well. Finally, after analyzing the legal bases and the managerial principles of these foreign countries, some practical suggestions are made for the representatives of the legislative body in terms of budgeting and its supervision.

Knowledge-based economies need management and coherent measurement of their knowledge as productive properties and a competitive advantage. This is noted in the science and technology policies of the country and requires a model for measuring the knowledge assets of the country. Accordingly, the current research aims to design a model for measuring the national knowledge assets through the coherent knowledge management approach considering the science and technology policies. This is an exploratory and qualitative study. Some misconceptions and contradictions, however, were noted in the literature regarding the definition of knowledge assets, and the methods and approaches of its measurement. Therefore, a semi-structured interview was conducted with 17 experts in the field. They were the authors of important works having research and executive experiences at different universities. The qualitative data of the interviews were analyzed through thematic analysis. The findings resulted in a model for measuring the national knowledge assets in four aspects: environment, infrastructure, outcome, and human capital. The suggested model measures knowledge assets based on money value in public and private sectors, and gives a tool for measuring the national knowledge assets.

The employment of different age groups is one of the main topics among the policy makers. The government has always been seeking ways in the social welfare system to provide job opportunities for the young people. One way is to change the age of retirement. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of retirement age on employment and unemployment. The study uses the two-stage constant elasticity of substitution function and nonlinear estimation to analyze the replacement of the young labor in the Iranian labor market from 2005 to 2018 and the effect of retirement age change on the employment of different age groups. The findings indicate that the substitution rate of young labor in the Iranian labor market was 42 percent, and thus, as 100 people get retired, only 42 individuals get employed. Therefore, the policy of retirement age change was not very much influential. Also, considering the fact that the social welfare system is salary-based and its budget is based on current payment, these policies may challenge the financial sustainability of the social welfare system.

The insurance industry is a crucial center in many countries and it plays a key role at the macro social, economic, cultural, and political systems. The policy making in the insurance industry is defined as a set of measures to show why and how the insurance policies work, and which public or governmental sectors could put them into practice. This study aims to analyze the insurance industry through CIPP model. Therefore, the study employs a practical-developmental approach, and a descriptive-analytical method. The data collection is based on the library and document analysis (such as higher document, regulations, official and organizational reports, international analysis, among others). Elements such as input, design, and execution related to insurance are investigated, and the policies of the government are analyzed using the statistics and the results of the insurance industry. The findings show that the governmental interventions at all levels of insurance in developing countries like Iran have failed, and actors such as the failure of the financial backing, the lack of technology and human creativity have challenged the needs, culture, and success of the policies. Therefore, it is suggested to reduce governmental intervention in the insurance industry and submit it to the private sector. The government can play the role of supporter and supervisor in order to reduce corruption and failure in insurance industry and increase productivity in the private sector based on the systemic analysis framework.
