The research aimed to create new knowledge on supply chain performance management in private banks. In two phases, it was performed using the qualitative method of thematic analysis and the quantitative part through the correlation method using the structural equation model technique. The data was derived from in-depth and semi-structured interviews with 12 managers of five private banks in Iran, based on purposeful sampling and continued until reaching theoretical saturation. The statistical population in the quantitative part was all 235 managers of Mellat Bank's branches, of which 144 were selected by simple random sampling. The tool was a researcher-made questionnaire based on the data extracted from the first part of the research. The validity was done through the face and content validity as well as factor analysis of the extracted components and the reliability was evaluated through Cronbach's alpha and was estimated to be higher than 0.7. The results showed that factors identified in the grounded theory model had an impact on the integration. The factor load of causal factors on the main category is 0.53, contextual factors on strategies are 0.54, intervening factors on strategies are 0.37, the main category on strategies is 0.47, and finally, the factor load of strategies on consequences is 0.71. A performance measurement system is a framework for measuring supply chain performance. To create knowledge in the supply chain based on research findings, one must first know what knowledge is important to maintain and how it can be maintained in the best way.

This research aims to provide an information system based on virtual currency data in the banking industry. Data is one of the most significant assets of the organization. This research is applied in terms of purpose. The population includes university professors in marketing and experts, including managers of the banking industry. Sampling in the qualitative section was done purposefully, and the criteria of expertise were at least a graduate degree and ten-year of relevant work experience. Finally, 20 people were selected as samples. The method used is SWARA's quantitative prioritization method. The index of using virtual currency in Iran's sanctions situation (Q67) with a weight of 0.122 is the first. The index of entrepreneurial acceleration based on the new payment system (Q56) with a weight of 0.1119 is the second priority. The index of general uncertainty about the nature of virtual currencies (Q16) with a weight of 0.0902 is the third priority. The index of improving communication and interactions between customers and the bank (Q63) with a weight of 0.0859 is the fourth priority. The index of alignment of banking processes with global standards (Q61) with a weight of 0.0722 is the fifth priority.Extracting useful information from the database and converting it into actionable results is the main challenge that companies face. Therefore, results show that one of the ways to the success of cryptocurrencies is the use of data-oriented information systems and data mining techniques. Data-oriented information systems are one of the recent developments in data management technologies.

This research has addressed the modeling of knowledge-based human resource management with a qualitative approach in voluntary organizations. According to the theory of resource-based perspective, human resources can be considered rare Aand non-repeatable assets that provide a sustainable competitive advantage to the company. The researcher is trying to answer a practical problem and in this regard, to develop practical knowledge and discover new knowledge in voluntary organizations. The method used was theme analysis in NVIVO software. The statistical population consists of experts from voluntary organizations with at least the position of deputy; over 20-year work experience; experience in voluntary activities; at least 45 years old with a doctorate degree or higher. The size of the community of experts was 10 people. The number of samples was determined using the purposive sampling technique. In this research, an 8-dimensional model with 29 indicators was identified. These 8 dimensions are supply, growth and training, motivation, maintenance, human resources infrastructure, consequences, internal environment, and external environment. These 8 criteria indicate that the creation of a suitable structure and organization of human resources causes the employees to move towards their main specialties and consequently increases the organization's productivity.Therefore, by giving importance to human resources, developing and implementing new knowledge strategies, the productivity of knowledge workers, and the use of approaches based on information technology, can improve the knowledge management of human resources.

The availability of social capital is a valuable resource that supports employees in performing activities in organizations. Social capital is towards knowledge and has a close interaction with it. The current research has been carried out with the aim of the dynamics of the social capital database to gain economic, social, cultural, and environmental knowledge of the industrial development of Kangan city using a quantitative approach and a survey method. The data collection tool was a questionnaire. The statistical population was all the citizens of Kangan city over 25, 400 were selected as a sample and studied using the multi-stage cluster sampling method. The data were analyzed on two descriptive and inferential levels in SPSS software. The results show that the average of the social-environmental behavior variable is higher than the average and the average of the change in the consumption of cultural goods is lower than the average. Based on this, it can be said that the impact of industrial development on social-environmental behaviors and social capital (including the dimension of social trust) has been positive and the consumption of cultural goods has had no effect, or to be more precise, it has had a negative effect. Holding scientific meetings in order to increase social trust in the industrial area is one of the practical suggestions of this research, also culturalization of knowledge sharing and use of existing databases will strengthen social capital and create a competitive advantage of knowledge creation in the long term.

The purpose of this research is to model supply chain performance management based on information dashboards in private banks. The data was derived from in-depth and semi-structured interviews with 12 managers of five private banks in the country, which were based on purposeful sampling and continued until reaching theoretical saturation. The validity of the research data was checked and confirmed by going back to the participants and external auditors. Data analysis was done based on the Strauss and Corbin model in the form of open, axial, and selective coding in the Atlas TI8 software. Modeling of supply chain performance management based on information dashboard in private banks including causal factors (intensification of competition, supply chain inefficiency, banking system challenges), intervening (appropriate corrective measures, organizational strategies, banking service challenges), platforms (quality management services, facilitating elements, and action management), strategies (development strategy, partnership strategy, discovery strategy, and focus strategy) and consequences (correction of performance evaluation system, financial-administrative function, performance improvement and innovation and supply chain development). To succeed in developing and changing their business model, they must correctly recognize factors affecting the supply chain of banking services in the fourth industrial revolution and digital revolution and successfully transition to the new technological era. A supply chain refers to the flow of materials, information, funds received from customers, and services from suppliers of raw materials through factories and warehouses to final customers, and includes organizations and processes that create goods, information, and services and deliver them to intended consumers.

This fundamental-applied research aims to design and test the organizational embeddedness model based on the knowledge application with a mixed approach using grounded theory (GT). In the qualitative section, data is derived from in-depth interviews conducted with 25 high-ranking and experienced managers of the Central Bank, who were selected based on snowball sampling. In the quantitative section, according to Cochran's formula, 346 out of 3500 people were selected by stratified random method. Qualitative data analysis was done using the grounded theory analysis method and quantitative data was analyzed by confirmatory factor analysis method with AMOS and SPSS software. The results showed that the dimensions and components of organizational embeddedness in the Central Bank can be classified into 24 main dimensions and 51 components, which include 6 main groups: causal conditions, core category, strategies, consequences, contextual conditions, and intervening conditions. Each group has 4 dimensions: individuals, group, organizational and environmental. The results indicated that paying attention to the financial needs of employees in order to create motivation, maintain their job position, and encourage families can be considered as a general solution.

The use of IoT in intelligent agriculture is now very common among farmers, and with the use of drones and sensors, advanced agriculture is rapidly becoming a growing global standard. The use of IoT requires infrastructure that is defined within an IoT governance framework. This paper proposes new approaches to knowledge management, Artificial Intelligence, and IoT governance and their impact on productivity in the agriculture sector by hiring specialized people who are called AI-aided Agriculture Knowledge Managers.Given the importance of all three topics, knowledge management, IoT, and agriculture, we have tried to show the impact of the presence of AI-aided Agriculture Knowledge Managers and IoT in reducing water consumption as one of the most important requirements of agriculture in a simulation by Matlab Software. The data was obtained from the Eurostat database. We also provide a framework for the presence of AI-aided Agriculture Knowledge Managers in fields that are specialized in agricultural science and knowledge management. Finally, due to the importance of governance in this sector, a framework for the governance of artificial intelligence in the field of agriculture with the presence of knowledge managers has been proposed.

Purpose: This article has been prepared and compiled with the aim of identifying and determining the application of knowledge management criteria in the portals of eight science and technology parks in Tehran province.Method: This research was a descriptive survey. Data were collected based on a checklist based on the model of availability, creation, and transfer of knowledge. The statistical population of this study includes the website of eight science and technology parks in Tehran province.Results: The level of application of knowledge management criteria on the website of science and technology parks is an unfavorable situation. Among the components of knowledge management, the component of knowledge creation with the lowest average compared to the component of knowledge transfer and availability needs to be fundamentally reviewed.Conclusion: The results showed that knowledge management criteria in these websites are not used properly. To eliminate this shortcoming and fill the gap in the current situation, the designers of science and technology parks websites should include the knowledge management approach among the main strategies of the park programs under their management.Keywords: Science and technology parks, knowledge management, portals, knowledge creation

Because the learning process involves the entire life of individuals from birth to the time when the individual is conscious, and also because of the importance of knowledge and learning in today's societies, this text provides an overview of concepts related to the field of learning and related aspects. Knowledge was done to provide a basic framework in addition to further clarifying the context, in the hope that learning would move towards knowledge and be practical. Do not forget after a while. Knowledge-based learning means that the learner can first acquire sufficient knowledge of himself with the help of his educational system and teachers and then learn according to his past so that he can finally acquire new knowledge and combine this knowledge with his previous knowledge. To integrate to be institutionalized. In this case, what has been learned will never be forgotten and can be applied in similar situations.

Science production through the use of knowledge management has been identified as a top priority for development in almost any society while scientific development is considered as a prerequisite to development in various sectors, which can consequently lead to economic prosperity and social welfare. I.R.Iran vision plan 2025 targets the first economic and scientific ranking in the region. A closer study of scientific products and science ranking of countries has provided a suitable tool for proper policy-making and planning as well as better understanding of the past situation. Analysis of scientific products and science ranking of countries has also paved the ground for purposeful scientific practices and research priorities besides contributions to recognition of weaknesses and insufficiencies in science production. Additionally, the environmental performance index of countries is an indicative of countries’ commitment to sustainable development and human life. Meanwhile, countries with lower science ranking will doubtlessly fail to manage ecological issues effectively. This study makes a comparison of science ranking and environmental performance index among Persian Gulf countries. The results show that Iran and Saudi Arabia, despite their first and second place, respectively, in science ranking in the region, have not been able to fully utilize this capacity for effective protection and management of the environment. In contrast, countries such as Kuwait and Bahrain, despite their lower science ranking, at the bottom of the table, have attained higher values with regard to environmental performance index than Iran and Saudi Arabia thanks to their proper planning and policy-making practices.
