The purpose of the research is to identify blockchain technology strategies in the oil and gas industry. In this research, the mixed research method has been used. In the qualitative part of the research community, there were experts in the field of blockchain technology, 12 of whom were purposefully selected for in-depth interviews. Open and axial coding was used to analyze the data. The statistical sample consisted of 232 IT professionals who were randomly selected from the community. To analyze the data in a small part, variance-based structural equations have been used. The results of qualitative analysis show that 42 initial conceptual propositions (frequency 604) were drawn and presented with 36 sub-categories, 6 main categorical propositions and a central code of blockchain technology strategies. Quantitative results indicate that the model does not need to be modified.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the competitive approaches of large supply chain management of the oil and gas operating company.This research is based on a multi-criteria decision-making approach using fuzzy Delphi method and network analysis process.Using literature review and a survey of a 15-member team of experts, 33 components affecting the large supply chain were extracted.It was used to refine and evaluate the extracted factors with the real contexts and space of the large supply chain, according to the fuzzy Delphi method and with the opinion of the selected team of experts.Then, the relative importance of each of the components and dimensions of the supply chain was determined based on the network analysis process method in the Super Design software environment.The results of the study, resilience strategy (0.36466) has the highest rank and then agile strategies (0.25385), lean (0.23963), green (0.14187), second,
third and fourth ranks.

The purpose of this study was to provide a technology driven strategy model with an interpretive structure approach in the Petrochemical Research and Technology Company. The present study is descriptive, survey in terms of the nature of the research and applied in terms of purpose. By reviewing the research literature and expert opinion polls, 10 effective factors were identified along with the following factors and then an interpretive structural model based on research factors and roadmap was presented. The factors of management, finance, policy-making, technical knowledge, human capital, information technology, operations, production, commercialization and market were at different levels. The model was then examined and validated through quantitative and qualitative validation. Finally, based on seven levels of technology-oriented strategy model, which means the use of technology in the organization's strategy to strengthen and maintain its position and appropriate role in market changes, some suggestions were made. The results showed that for the implementation of technology-based strategy in the organization, management and financial factors, then policy and technical knowledge as key factors and in the third step, human resources as a factor of change, a special look should be applied.

This research aims to determine leadership styles based on counterfactual thinking in relation to oneself and others. The research method was semi structure and the statistical population of the research were formed by the leaders of the Offshore Oil Company, among whom thirty-two people based on characteristics, managers The CEO was immediately elected. The research tools included eight leadership style measurement scenarios based on counterfactual thinking, upward and downward counterfactual thinking questionnaire, leadership styles questionnaire and self and others questionnaire. The data were analyzed using independent groups t-test (to determine the effect of applied manipulation) and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). The results of the independent groups t-test showed that the two scenarios of upward and downward counterfactual thinking had a significant effect on each of the four leadership styles of managers. The results of the multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) also showed that there is a significant difference between upward and downward thinking in leadership styles, as well as with oneself and others (p<0.05), but in leadership styles, there is a significant difference between upward and downward thinking. It was not obtained.

The purpose of this study is to validate the consequences and results of creating a maturity of green human resources in the first class areas of the National Iranian Petroleum Products Distribution Company.
