One of the most important concepts for all enterprises in every size and every sector is market performance. As the market success of the firm is a consequence of its market performance, it will be pertinent to state that performance is a direct determinant on the consequence. Today, dynamic capabilities have been identified as one of the vital necessities for the performance of organizations in turbulent environments. Given the critical role of market performance in turbulent competitive environments, this concept has attracted attention of many researchers of management science in recent years. So how to achieve this important consult for organizations is vital, and very little research has been done in this regard. Therefore, in this research, the model of improving market performance based on dynamic capabilities (IT competencies, entrepreneurial and market orientation and operational agility) is presented and tested in the electronics industry of Iran. This model is based on four management areas: strategic management literature related to dynamic capabilities, marketing literature, entrepreneurship, and information technology .The results confirm the research model. It can be concluded that the dynamic capabilities of the organization will help to improve market performance.

Attitude to the organizations has changed over the time. A time, the organizations have been considerd as closed systems that had no interaction to their environment. When the system perspective was introduced, attiude to the organization changed, too. At the same time, organizations have been considered as open systems that interact to their environment. While, the organizations acted in an industry and todays, considering to increasingly changes that have been arised in the business environment, the industries boundries have been disappeared greatly. According to James Moore (1993), todays, organizations act in the ecosystem that different business from diverse industries interact each other and their survival increasingly dependent on each other. These concepts were be described well in the business ecosystem approach. Business ecosystem approach has been emerged in the result of environmental changes in the recent decades. The necessary of this approach apployment is making the changes in the mindsets that look at business world with a new attitude and the basic principles demonstrate the mindset changes. This paper is an overview/analytical paper and it's purpose is explaining the basic principles based on analyzing the world business changes in the recent decades. Recognizing the basic principles is one of the success necessaries at the present time.

Government capacity and governance capacity are the new concepts that have recently entered the literature of state management and political science. The existing literature in this ground is neither comprehensive nor homogeneous. This article intends to study different dimensions of capacity and, based on the findings, introduce a model for examining it.
Governance capacity is manifested in such dimensions as the capacity of a state in designing, implementing and assessing policies and super policies. The innovative point in this article is the introduction of a model on governance capacity, which has not been done in the previous researches. In the past studies, based on the context of the related study, scholars have had a micro view on the governance subject, and no comprehensive view to include all dimensions of governance has been considered. This inadequacy is removed by the outcomes of the present article.
This article consists of two parts. The first part includes the review of theoretical literature about governance capacity and theoretical fundamentals of the concept. The second part introduces a model, which has been examined by the data collected from different countries.

Governments, are not successful in implementation of many policies. Various
challenges, obstacles and constraints may occur and hamper the policy
implementation; but when a policy fails in implementation, only the
implementators are blamed; while policy-makers have a major role in the
(success and) failure of a policy, too. In fact, disrespect to rationality in policy
formulation can lead the policy process to failure in implementation. In this
study, according to Ignace Snallen (2002), the concepts of rationality consists of
legal, economical, political and professional dimensions. The hypothesis of this
research is that “rationality of the policies formulated in the 7th Islamic
Consultative Assembly of Iran” differs to “the optimum/ideal rationality that,
leads us to a successful implementation”. The necessary data were gathered
from the experts by questionnaire, and analyzed by statistics tests. Data analyses
confirmed the research hypothesis. It is concluded that disregard to the desirable
composition of rationalities has led the to unsuccessful implementations of
policies processes.

One of the main issues in human resource management is employees' discipline that concentrates on controling and preventing the employees from misconducting. There are three approaches of discipline including traditional, progressive and positive. In traditional approach, when any unaccepted behavior happens, the managers react immediately and punish the non-obedient worker, but in progressive approach, the managers do a progressive and step-wise action. In positive approach, not every kind of punishment is accepted; the workers should have time to correct their unaccepted behavior. In this paper, we tried to show the social science propositions of these three approaches as ideal types of employees' discipline and suggest new type of discipline according to Quranic instructions. Strategy of this research is qualitative; and we used analytical approach to reconcept the discipline in a typological framework through management, social science thinkers and Quran text. Finally, four approaches were suggestedto employees' discipline through ontological dichotomy. At the end of this paper, we explained the transcendental employee discipline as Quranic approach to discipline.

Lately, organizations have become increasingly aware of the value of managing their organizational learning and knowledge. Thus researchers have investigated those processes extensively. Still something is missing in the current discussions of organizational knowledge: organizations do not just learn; they also forget. Knowledge management is creating processes not only for learning and retaining what is important but also for avoiding or unlearning what is not important. Forgetting, like learning, is not simple: it may be detrimental or beneficial, accidental or purposeful. By the way, in all cases, it can significantly affect, in both negative and positive ways, the competitiveness of an organization. In the present study, in addition to the investigation of concept and forms of organizational forgetting, we studied the relationship between purposeful organizational forgetting and charismatic leadership and determined of the amount of organizational forgetting, due to strategic importance of purposeful organizational forgetting. The data necessary for this study were through questionnaires that were given to 165 top and middle managers and supervisors in the supply chain of Iran automobile industry. Correlation analysis of data by chi-square test showed that there is a significant relationship between every dimensions of purposeful forgetting (new and established knowledge) and charismatic leadership.

With regard to the increase of competitive atmosphere and companies' endeavors to capture more segments of the market, the necessity of codifying new models to apply competitive strategies, seems more momentous than before. Accordingly, with due respect to cost management, both attracting customers' satisfaction and maintaining profit margin of the manufacturers look to be highly essential.
The present research was carried out to design an appropriate model for the organizational change strategy in the cost management of Iran Khodro Company's Supply Chain. The research looks into the elements influencing the cost management, i.e. behavioral and structural factors as well as competitors and technology through the community, via conducting extensive studies on the change known models and identifying the effective elements in creating change in the cost management with regard to organizational behavior approach.
Hence, a conceptual Model was demonstrated in terms of the relations between the four major aspects influencing the cost management and ten variables creating such aspects as well. In relation to the behavioral aspect, the influencing elements were studied at three behavioral levels, namely individual, group and organization levels. In relation to the competitors, the effects of being a single source and the structure of companies' costs, and in relation to technology , the effects of productionand information technologies were assayed. In relation to the structure, the effects of complexity, formality and concentration on the change strategy of Cost management were observed. The questionnaires distributed were
then collected from 41 A-grade manufacturers in the Parts Supply Chain of Iran Khodro Company. The results showed that among the introduced elements in the conceptual model, the effect of competitors on cost management was not affirmed.
Besides, the study on the suppliers' behaviors showed that it influences the strategies of cost change management only at organization level. The effect of organizational structure on cost management was confirmed based on the complexity of the elements only.
Therefore, we can come to the conclusion that elements of formality and concentration have no or have an insignificant effect on the proposed model. However, the fundamental result of the research confirmed the relation between technology and cost management within the two areas of production and information technologies.

By the increasing rate of flexibility in management systems including compensation systems, it is necessary to study theoretically and understand the key variables on designation of flexible compensation systems.
Purpose – The purpose of this article is to study the ability of agency theory in explanation of compensation problems inrollving the cultural context and occupation features in Iranian Automotivie Induslry.
Design/methodology- In this article, a conceptual model was developed in which we examined the relation of independent variable (agency theory assumptions) and dependent variables (current structure of compensation contracts and agent's tendency to arrange this structure). this relation is interfered with moderate variables (cultural dimensions and kind of occupation). In order to test the hypothesis, two active firms in automotive industry (manufacturing and service companies) were selected for sampling. It is to be mentioned that agency theory assumptions have not been examined in Iranian Automantive ludustry.
Results –Test of hypothesis confirmed lots of agency theory assumptions. our findings showed that some of agency theory predictions are attenuated by cultural characteristics and most of time there is a significant relation between agency theory assumptions and occupation conditions. Conclusions - using agency theory assumptions with respect to cultural dimensions and
occupation dimensions and occupation conditions in drawing up of compensation contracts will improve Iranian firm’s wage and salary systems in order to reduce agency problems and the related cost.

Science has explored the power and influence of human emotions in human mental life and is going to explore and define the locus of excitement and emotions in human activities , moods and behaviors. In intelligence literature, studies has evolveed from rational intelligence - based on diagnosis – moving toward emotional intelligence in management literature, dating back to 1990's. It is considered as an organizational behavior of management skills. Researches have shown that the degree of the emotional intelligence of effective leaders is very high. The managers who are emotionally intelligent are effective managers who can achieve organizational goals, with maximum productivity together with the employees' satisfaction and commitment. Because the leadership style as an ongoing behavior has a determining role on the employees' commitment. The basic question is: how do the role of leadership styles (transformational- transactional) affect the process of components of management emotional intelligent on the employees' organizational commitment. In this research , a conceptual model was developed by using different experts, views with respect to the question. The results showed that
two kinds of leadership styles are complementary and affect the relationship between emotional intelligence and employees' organizational commitment .The transformational leadership style affects the relations of intrapersonal , general mood and stress management components of the managers, emotional intelligence on employees' organizational commitment.The transactional leadership style affects the relations of the adaptability and interpersonal components of the managers, emotional intelligence on employees' organizational commitment. The effectiveness of transformational leadership style(R2=% 53) is more than transactional leadership style (R2= % 47).

In a knowledge-based economiy, products and companies live and die on information and the most successful companies are the ones who use their intangible assets better and faster. Researches have indicated that inverse decreasing returns of traditional resources such as land, money, machinery etc. Knowledge is realy a resource to increase business performance. From a strategic perspective, intellectual capital (IC) is used to create and enhance the organizational value, and success requires IC and the ability to manage this scarce resource controlled by a company. In addition, one of the most important organizational capabilities is social capital that can contribute to create and share knowledge in organizations and to make sustainable organizational advantage for them in comparison with their competitors.
Thus, the objective of the present descriptive and analytical research was to discuss the role of intellectual capital and social capital in competitive advantage in two automobile maker companies in Iran. Statistical community of the research consisted of supervisors, general managers and top managers. The obtained results indicated that there was a significant positive relationship between the social capital and intellectual capital in the two studied companies. Also, their intellectual capital had direct impact on their competitive advantage. However, their social capital had indirect impact on their competitive advantage.

Abstract
Creating and protecting competitive advantage by organizations in the 21st century, requires identifying affective environmental changes on organizations, agility and adoption with those changes and increasing capability for answering the various needs of customers. Only learning organizations have these properties.
For being learning, organizations apply a process that includes four sub processes including: 1) identifying and creating information, 2) interpreting and transforming information, 3) applying information at work/ creating knowledge, and 4)institutionalizing of knowledge. Applying these processes requires organizational fitness and specific characteristics of leadership, manpower, organizational design, organizational culture, mission and strategies. These characteristics facilitate learning and becoming learning organization.
Innovative aspect of this research is that it provides a model that identifies learning levels of the automobile pieces manufacturing firms based on learning process and learning organization characteristics. The obtained results indicated that learning level differs from one firm to another and we can divide all organizations to three levels: 1) data oriented, 2) information oriented and 3) knowledge oriented with respect to their focus on data, information and knowledge. Considering how much learning process is applied and how much characteristics of learning organizations are obtained, each organization lays on one of the mentioned category levels.

Although nowdays, there is no tendency to national planning like before, that does not mean that planning should be left aside, rather today’s world is calling for modern and effective approaches for national planning. The main objective of national planning, with any approach, is to fulfill peoples needs and demands. Total Quality Management (T.Q.M) by taking into account the customer’s requirements and satisfaction can amply demonstrate a new perspective on national planning.
This model is customer satisfaction oriented and if the requirements are fulfilled, the satisfaction could be obtained. Comprehensiveness, equity, flexibility, integrity, internal and external consistency, rationality and effectiveness are some of the characteristics that define the Model’s goal and could be gathered from planning experts.
Optimization of planning process, empowerment of plan’s employees and focusing on customer requirements are three basic principles to reach the goal. The final goal of this paper (customer satisfaction) could be materialized when all the principles accounted for sofar come to a stage of continuous empoverment.
