In today's world, organizations are faced with impulses and disturbances such as; Changes in the level of customer expectations, technological changes, international sanctions and lack of resources are faced, which affect both organizational resilience and the choice of technology transfer methods. Therefore, this research was conducted to identify the most important components of organizational resilience with respect to the importance of technology transfer methods in companies designing and manufacturing power transmission line fittings. The method of the present research was applied, qualitative, cross-sectional and descriptive with the help of data collection tools including library studies, questionnaires and interviews and using the technique of quality performance development with a statistical community consisting of experts and industry and university experts who were selected non-randomly using judgment-targeted methods and networks were done. In this research, after identifying the most important factors influencing the choice of technology transfer method, the most common technology transfer methods and organizational resilience components, relationships and value of technology transfer methods and organizational resilience components were identified and analyzed using the quality house matrix. According to the obtained results, "the need to acquire technology" is the most important factor in choosing the method of technology transfer, "reverse engineering" method is the most optimal method of technology transfer and "trust between actors" is the most effective component of organizational resilience.

The world is now in the throes of a public health crisis caused by the Covid virus, which has affected people in almost every aspect of daily life and left the world economy in a state of uncertainty. Also, the epidemic of the virus in the payment industry and supply chains has caused many changes, so the present study with an interpretive approach has identified the variables of electronic supply chain stability from the perspective of blockchain activists and university professors. The research approach to the applied method is qualitative methodology and the data method of the foundation has been used to conduct research operations. The data of this study were collected using semi-structured interviews. The sampling method used in this study is purposeful sampling and using the theoretical saturation index, 10 prominent university professors and activists in the field of blockchain were interviewed as a research sample. Their attitudes and views on the research topic were examined. Research findings: User relationship flow, service flow, information flow, financial flow, environmental flow affecting the core platform of identifying and managing suppliers, demand management, technology and information management, environmental management as causal and environmental conditions Technological, social environment, economic environment, legal environment as background conditions and political factors, determining international market factors as intervening conditions from the perspective of experts. Finally, policy and planning, infrastructure, awareness and training of appropriate solutions. Which will lead to improved quality of goods and services, improved performance, improved social space, improved financial processes, improved environment.

The present study aimed to analyze the effects of learning orientation on new product development performance with an emphasis on open innovation (Case study: Parmida Rubber Industries company, Semnan, Iran). To this aim, after reviewing the literature in the fields of learning orientation, new product development performance, and open innovation, the conceptual model and research hypotheses were developed. The present study is practical in terms of purpose, cross sectional in terms of time, qualitative in terms of variables, descriptive survey in terms of research design, and causal correlational. The statistical population consisted of 55 experts working in research and development, marketing and sales, and production units of Parmida rubber factory selected using census method. Data were collected using a researcher made questionnaire based on the five-point Likert spectrum. Face and content validity of the questionnaire and its reliability were confirmed by academic experts. Descriptive and inferential statistical tools including factor analysis, path analysis and model fit were used to analyze data, respond to questions and examine research hypotheses. Partial least squares method was used to analyze data in SmartPLS software. Findings indicated that there is a significant correlation between learning orientation and new product development performance. One can confirm that open innovation acts as a mediator in the relationship between attitudes toward learning and new product development performance.

The present research is applied in terms of purpose, qualitative in terms of variable, cross sectional in terms of time, and descriptive-survey and correlation- causal in terms of type. The statistical population consists of all the managers and experts of small and medium- sized manufacturing companies of Semnan city, including units of R&D, production, training, marketing, and market researches. This paper has been done in period of Fall and Winter 1396. Sampling is based on the logic of partial least square with simple random sampling method. Data collection was performed using library and field study method, and with the help of questionnaire. Data analysis was implemented by a multi stage process as follows: components recognition by the related literature, reliability study of the mentioned components by Cronbach’s alpha and CR indices, and KMO index for sampling adequacy were used. Then, for responding to questions and hypotheses, the test of path and correlation analysis were used. In the next steps, confirmatory factor analysis for monitoring the indices in each constructor as well as validity were studied. Finally, all the research hypotheses were confirmed, and it can be said that open innovation has a significant impact on company innovative performance; also the moderating role of market turbulence in meaningful.

Each software product has a lifecycle that starts with meeting the users’ needs or as a concept of new product, and finishes by disposing. Therefore, the software products lifecycle includes all activities related to product development, operation and maintenance. The main goal of this article is to identify the dimensions and the measures contained in an information system’s lifecycle and the steps that should be taken at every stage. These measures are obtained by studying the research literature, and then are refined by confirmatory factor analysis. Thus, questionnaires are distributed among software developers in Tehran. After identifying the key indices, their effectiveness and impacts on each other are measured by Dematel technique; then accordingly they are ranked and the casual model of the measures of information systems’ lifecycle is designed. For this purpose, a number of questionnaires are also distributed among the experts and developers of information systems. The results show that finding a good idea for manufacturing a product is the most important effort, and then the ones such as product design, coding, prototyping, operation by customer, product manufacturing, support and maintenance, product disposal and distribution are important respectively.

In the present environment full of dynamism and change, one of the important categories enables us to achieve the organization goals impressively, is technology effective changes and its transfer. Since the computer based systems prepare the background of upgrading manager’s abilities for coordinating and controlling the organization activities, helping the effective decision-making, and also creating the competitive advantage, we discuss, in this article, about the technology transfer obstacles and the problems of effective implementation of information systems in Iran. This research is an applied one and is carried out in monitoring form while considering a statistical universe consisted of 66 experts in the field of information systems. The reliability is studied through Cronbach’ alpha and the validity is confirmed by the methods of content and structural analyses, and diagnostic validity. The indices of these obstacles are introduced in format of six dimensions as the technology transfer obstacles of information systems, and then a framework for the obstacles presented whose main indices identified through the factor analysis technique. Regarding the research general findings, one can say the most important technology transfer obstacles of information systems in Iran respectively include organizational, technical and technological, political, economic, cultural, social, and human ones.
