Road accidents and their financial damages, which are imposed on families and the government, are known as important and considerable problems in the society. In this regard, this research has presented a comprehensive model for strategic crisis management in road accidents with Grand Theory. In terms of purpose, this research is applied and qualitative research type with the foundation's data approach. Data collection is performed through semi-structured interviews with 15 road and traffic managers as well as professors and experts in crisis management with targeted snowball sampling and theoretical saturation of the subject. Qualitative data analysis shows two factors: "management of human factors in drivers and car passengers" and "control, management and prevention of technical defects of vehicles" as causal factors, "control, management of improvement of technical condition and road facilities" as background factors, "optimal and predicted management of weather conditions" and "policy of road management safety in high-level institutions and the requirement to comply with it in all aspects" as intervening factors and "management of all factors involved in accidents and coordination between all bodies involved in improvement and management "road traffic crises" as a central category, three categories of "management strategies", "vehicle safety and improvement strategies" and "social-cultural strategies" as strategies and "improving the quality level of management and safety culture and road traffic in the country" are identified as the main outcome. The results of this research can provide technical and operational solutions for decision makers of the country's traffic sector to plan road safety measures.

In today's turbulent economic environment, companies are struggling to find ways to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. One of these methods is supply chain management to reduce costs and improve performance to create a competitive advantage and business success. The purpose of this study is on how to use supply chain management by pharmaceutical distribution companies in Iran and its role in the success and competitiveness of companies. The method used in the research is a mixed method (qualitative and quantitative). Data collection in the qualitative section was done during an in-depth interview with 30 experts from Iran's top pharmaceutical distribution companies, based on which categories were extracted; Then, in the axial coding stage, the link between these categories was made based on the study of causal conditions and its effect on the central phenomenon of "drug distribution chain management strategy development", as well as the effect of contextual conditions and intermediate conditions on strategic factors The format of the coding paradigm was determined; Then, in the selective coding stage, each component of the coding paradigm was described, the storyline was drawn, and the theory was created; Finally, the research propositions of the research were compiled. In the quantitative stage, the questionnaires were distributed among the top 16 drug distribution companies and the model extracted from the quality section was tested with the help of partial least squares software. Finally, the mentioned model and the hypotheses were confirmed.
