This paper aims at studying the strategic alignment between financial strategy and subsystems including investment strategy, financing strategy, dividend strategy, and working capital strategy based on a comprehensive model (based on strategic reference points, SRP's). Three alignment models could be identified in the strategic management literature: rational, natural and comprehensive. The comprehensive model is based on process view in strategic management that its implementation is a function of formulation (focus, internal or external– SRP1) and control (low or high – SRP2). In this paper, at first, we identify typologies of financial and subsystem strategies based on SRP, and then the relationship between these strategies are studied. Using the case study strategy, Exir Drug Company was selected for empirical study and types of financial and subsystem strategies were calculated in 2001-2008. The results showed that, when the financial strategy type of Exir is moderate willing to risk taking, the performance (Tobin's Q and ROA) is more than when the financial strategy type is moderate willing to risk avoidance. The conclusion is that when there is alignment between financial and subsystem strategies, there is high performance (Tobin's Q and ROA).

Handmade carpet industry plays a vital role in the economy of Iran. It is not only a major earner of foreign exchange for the economy as a whole but also it contributes to generate large-scale employment opportunities. The importance of handmade carpet industry in country economy and the existence of powerful international competitors have nearly forced managers to identify high priority to achieving and maintaining national competitive advantage in this industry. Scholars such as Michael Porter have put more emphasis on the crucial role of information technology/systems in obtaining national competitive advantage. However, these systems development and maintenance costs are significant for organizations.
The findings of the IS literature review revealed that the feasibility studies can be helpful in IS projects especially for large projects. This study has two research objectives. First, it studies the (technical, operational and economic) feasibility of development of management information systems in the handmade carpet industry/art of Iran, and then identifies the IS development scenarios in this section. the required data were collected using a survey among 153 organizations and firms responsible for handmade carpet in Tehran and East Azerbaijan provinces. The results showed that, despite the low digital literacy of most individuals in this industry and also lack of hardware and software infrastructures in public and private organizations, it is possible to develop carpet' management information systems in terms of technical, organizational and economic aspects.

Abstract
Trust is the basis of many interactions in human societies; either interpersonal or social communications. Many factors such as lack of social capital, influence of critical media and especially decrease or lack of accountability in public institutions has diminished public trust to the government and its organizations. In this article, we study trust literature firstly and then evaluate the relationship between public trust to the governmental organizations (bureaucracies) and political trust in the society. Then we present suggestions to improve current situations. The results of such studies can be considered as the basis for more attention to the public and political trust in the society and solutions for their improvements.

Customer churn management consist of three main phases: identifying churners, discovering the causes of churn and adapting appropriate strategies against this problem. Most of studies in this field focused on prediction of customer churn. Few studies about discovering causes of churn are just about testing primary hypothesis about probable causes. This study because of the shortage of previous studies in this field has made lots of innovations. Some of these innovations are: designing a new framework for discovering causes of churn and designing a hybrid approach from data mining and survey techniques which carried out without benchmarking from any similar study. Proposed framework includes four main steps: feature construction and selection, identification of churners, discovering the causes of churn, and validating the results. Current account customers of Keshavarzi Bank are selected as casestudy of this research and the required data is gathered trough questionnaire. The approach used for discovering causes of churn is extracting the rules which lead to churn in various clusters of customers. For this purpose, decision tree technique with target variable of churn label is utilized. Validating the results is carried out by testing it on validation data set and calculating the top lift and overall error rate. The extracted rules represent that there is a tendency to churn among big segment of keshavarzi's customers. The most important reason (specially among higher salary customers) is about manner of bank agents not reasons expressed by experts such as the way of lending or the profit of backup accounts.

most cities in the world, especially multiplicity faces big problems with traffic and several vehicles. City managers suggest two solutions for these problems. The first is to make supply increased and other one is to demand management. We know increasing supply need expensive and sometimes impossible. It's clear that demand management is the best. In each city there are different kinds of demands for trip such as trips to work, education trips, shopping trips and social trips. In this paper we estimate demand to trips based on trips to work that are home based from out of city to multiplicity.
The main reason for trips is different levels of well-being indices that are more in the multiplicity. Well-being in multiplicities is rather better than in life place.
In this paper we measured well-being indices based on 2006 year book Tehran that used in estimating job place, education place and etc. based on house hold census 2006.
The result show that work trips demand increase by increasing literacy index and residential units and decrease by increasing number of private vehicle the regression result. 0.83 percent of work trips demand explained with variable explanatory.
The results show a number of school , distance, sport place and … don't have significant effect on work trips demand.

The aim of this research was to investigate the relationships between perceived organization support with participation to decision-making, organizational citizenship behaviors, job scope, trust to supervisor, pay satisfaction, extra role behavior, job involvement, work involvement, promotion opportunity, internal motivation, supervision quality, tend to stay, job alternatives, intention to turnover, and satisfaction from supervisor and coworkers. The second aim of this research was extraction of direct and no direct relationships between perceived organizational supports with 17 research variables. To this end, 295 persons were randomly selected from one public sector organization. The instruments which used in this research were: Eisenberger et al.’s perceived organizational support, and 17 questionnaires for the assessment of research variables. The data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and path analysis.
The results showed that there are significant negative relationships between intention to turnover and job alternatives with perceived organizational supports and significant positive relationships between the remaining research variables at highest level for participation to decision making and at lowest level for internal motivation] with perceived organizational support. The results of path analysis showed that among the research variables, only participation to decision making, pay satisfaction, promotion opportunity, internal motivation, supervision quality and organizational trust showed significant direct relationships with perceived organizational support. In general, on the basis of path analysis, the model of direct and indirect paths was extracted for perceived organizational support.
