The main objective of this paper is to provide interaction of ecosystems with each other (ecosystems-ecosystems) through the value-creating ecology. Ecology is used as a metaphor for information systems in organizations. The main difference between the ecology of creating value with the supply chain and the value chain is that the value-creating ecology is a network value chain. Therefore, since ecosystems have a wider concept than the network and are more complex, the use of value-creating ecology for interactions between ecosystems will be more efficient, and thus produced ecological values. First, using the qualitative analysis method, the theme is related to each of the categories and with the analysis done by the software, correlation between the categories identifies. Then, through a questionnaire containing 135 questions, each of codes are given in the coding phase, measure regression and correlation between the categories. Composite Reliability measured the validity of the theme. On the other hand, the ability to communicate effectively between SMAC ecosystem and the digital business ecosystem through the value-creating ecology has also been tested, which result of this test confirms the effectiveness of this interaction.

Surfing sites of renowned Iranian firms, it can be recognized that they are just using few of web 2.0 tools such as social networks and RSS for achieving their business goals. Enterprise 2.0 is a new concept and it effects all dimensions of organizations. Therefore getting ready for it before implementing Enterprise 2.0 concepts and technologies in the organization is essential. The goal of this paper is presenting an Organizational Readiness Model for Enterprise 2.0, by which firms can calculate their organizational readiness for Enterprise 2.0. For this purpose, after reviewing literature, an initial model was developed and after asking the opinions of experts, final model was developed. The final model includes 5 stages for Organizational Readiness named Stimulation of Interest, Initiation, Legitimization, Decision to Act, and Action. It is also composed the factors named High market risk, External and social pressure for Enterprise 2.0 adoption, Familiarity with Enterprise 2.0 benefits, Fitness of needs with Enterprise 2.0, Existence or development of Enterprise 2.0 goals and strategies, Alignment of Enterprise 2.0 goals with organizational goals, Positive attitude and tendency of management and employees toward Enterprise 2.0, Senior management support and commitment, Presence of an appropriate organizational culture, Presence of pioneers and champions, Presence of a good and qualified technical team, Presence of a flat organizational structure, Determining the target audience, and Holding Enterprise 2.0 training programs and seminars.

In recent decay development of different technologies is dramitically high and it influences in services. One of fields which is affected from information technology is bankining industry. Wireless technology is one of the information technology fields that has a greate development in recent years which resualt of that is mobile banking service. Banking industry is a smple that uses data mining technique. Data mining is kind of exploring knowledge to solve a special problem. In this research 232817 data is used to find some models by artificial neural networks and naïve bayes techniques in according with customers' attributes. Furtheremore result of this research help to classify customers who use mobile banking service and then the bank can offer the service to somebody who are in this classification but donot use this service. So in this way the bank can attract more customers, maintain its customers, and keep high customers' satisfaction. Also the research reveals that artificial neural networks is more accurate than naivie bayes and the research's hypothesis is proved.

In order to evaluate and select the appropriate knowledge management strategy, a lot of organizational factors must be considered. On the other hand, in the approach of dynamic knowledge management strategy; the processes of creation and transferring of knowledge have direct effects on the selected strategies. The human-oriented and system-oriented approaches of knowledge management strategy are essentially different and need different infrastructures, methods and tools. In this research, the related literature about developing knowledge management strategy has been reviewed. The effective factors on knowledge management strategy have been extracted from different conceptual frameworks, models and methods. Then a comprehensive methodology for developing knowledge management strategy has been presented.
The factors of this methodology, which have direct effects on the final chosen strategy, include: general business strategy, organizational structure, cultural factors and knowledge creation process in knowledge intensive area of the organization. Also in this methodology, the interrelated effect of information technology strategy and human resource strategy on the knowledge management strategy is considered and the final strategy is shown ranging from human oriented approach to system oriented approach. The elements of this methodology have been validated in the form of the research hypothesis by asking the viewpoints of experts and all of them have been accepted. Three companies have used this methodology for developing

Information systems security (ISS) is a critical issue that organizations face world wide. Information systems security involves both technology and people (human factors). The focus in most researches on information systems’, security as a technical issue has dominated ISS researches and practices.
Lately, a new paradigm is emerging, addressing it as a “people issue” and an “organizational issue”. In that paradigm, people are the weakest element in the information systems security.
The present research takes a different perspective on ISS by focusing on “behavioral information security” and with considering the general lack of empirical research and the importance of information security to modern organizations, it presents a managerial framework for explore the role of human factors in ISS. Specifically the purpose of this research was to identify and model the critical managerial constructs that mostly influence the effectiveness of ISS.
The methodology of this study combines both qualitative and quantitative research techniques. Through a qualitative technique and investigating the research literature, identified key constructs in information systems security were identified. Then developed mod was based on the effects of these constructs on the information systems’ security effectiveness. Then based on the research literature and scholars ideas, a questionnaire was developed and distributed in some organizations. The data obtained were analyzed with SPSS and LISREL software. The results of empirical analysis supported and
validated the model.

Today's organizations face a complex set of needs of their stakeholders. They cannot satisfy those needs in a good manner because of economical rationality or inability to prepare suitable equipments. So inter-organizational relationships have been choosen as a strategy which nowadays attract much attention. In fact, each organization has a set of interorganizational relationships voluntarily or involuntarily with other organizations which many organizational advantages and disadvantages have roots in such a inter-organizational relationships. Therefore, the Present research aimed at developing a simulation based model to study inter-organizational relationships. In this model, inter-organizational relationships are documented with process approach, and then. analyzed based on volume, time, human recourses, mutual dependency network and decision. According to the analysis results, "to-be" process is redesigned. These changes are suitability analyzed with simulation and implemented if they are confirmed. Finally this model has been implemented in Agriculture Industry Bureau of Jihad -Agriculture Ministry.

Organizations need to learn from their own experiences and the other organizational experiences. Experiences documentation is one of the key issue to increase the organizational knowledge and learning through using the relevant experiences in business and also the organizational performance.
In order to accumulate, document, distribute and use effective of organizational experiences, it is necessary to design an appropriate structure and framework. Therefore, this paper first reviews the related literature and theoretical bases.
