Among the most important sources of competitive advantage, is creating and developing strategic alignment competency. Strategic alignment, literally, is an abstract and qualitative concept. And a qualitative concept while not been quantified and operationalized, does not worth paying attention practically. This article basing on a general formula and taking systems dynamics approach, suggests an operational model for organizational strategic alignment measurement.Primary diagnosis of influencing variables, their dimensions and components was accomplished by a vast relevant literature review and were finalized by using Delphi Method and Focus Groups. This research from Methodological aspect was done using an exploratory mixed method. Model outputs showed that it can be used as a dynamic strategic performance measurement system (DSPMS) for highlighting the weak points of organizational performance. Then, model, by simulating the system’s behavior would enable the practitioners to predict the results of applying different improvement course of actions.

In recent years, with the increase in the popularity of ERP systems, many researchers have been faced with the question of “How can we describe the best organizational context to achieve the success through utilizing an ERP system?” .This study investigates the impact of Business Strategy, as a potential factor, on ERP post-implementation success in Iranian adopting organizations. First, a main hypothesis is developed to examine the extent of significant relation between business strategy and ERP post-implementation success. Moreover, three twofold hypothesises are developed in order to compare different strategies and find the best one. Afterwards, required data is gathered from every adopting organization using a standard questionnaire. Finally, one-way ANOVA method is applied to test the main hypothesis and Tukey method is used to perform multiple comparisons between business strategies. The findings confirm the impact of Business Strategy on ERP post-implementation success and introduce the Defender and Analyzer strategies as the suitable strategic contexts for the successful exploitation of ERP systems.

Among strategic and infrastructure industries in each country, the electricity industry is the most important and critical one, which due to its capital-intensive and costly nature is considered as a unique industry. Hence, increasing efficiency and productivity in this industry is very important. Since process of power transmission in Iran electricity industry carries out by regional electricity companies, this research has been done with purpose of investigating and evaluating mentioned company’s efficiency, by using nonparametric data envelopment analysis (DEA) method. Due to weakness of conventional and classical DEA models, in this research, network models have been used to evaluate efficiency of Iran regional electricity companies, and efficiency of companies’ internal units has been examined too. The present study is an applied research. Necessary information, to analyze the efficiency, have been extracted from the performance of listed companies in statistical yearbook of Iran electricity industry in the year of 2011, and research data have been analyzed by GAMS software. The results indicate that regional electricity companies in Isfahan, Zanjan and Kerman during all stages of their activities have unit efficiency. As well as, the results of this study indicate that there are significant differences between classical approaches and network data envelopment analysis (DEA) in determining efficiency of regional electricity companies, and to more careful analyzing companies, applying network models is necessary.

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is one of the scientific method that computes the efficiency by using a powerful mathematics basic. Data Envelopment Analysis is a non-parametric technique to evaluate the efficiency of a set of decision making units (DMU) with multi inputs and outputs . since DEA’s models classifies decision making units into two categories of efficient and inefficient, so most of the Decision makers are seeking a full ranking DMUs. In this paper, we will extend a model for ranking of efficient units in DEA. so first we propose two new nonlinear models which one can compute the efficiency by first model and rank the efficient DMUs by second one such that These models have a feasible solution always And at least we will compare models of this paper with the others ranking models by some numerical examples and Results have confirm the model performance.

Nowadays knowledge of organizations is their most important assets. The importance of this intellectual property is very mush since the organizations' executive success without the management and proper use of this valuable resource, is difficult and sometimes impossible. So the only way to survive in the current competitive situations, is to implement appropriate knowledge management system and institutionalize it. In this research, a knowledge management model using system dynamics approach is presented and implied in a transportation as a case study. The reasons for the distance between the desired state of knowledge management in the company and its current state, has been extracted and analyzed by the presented model. In fact, it has been tried to denote the effective factors to make this distance and evaluate the operational leverages for its removal, by using presented dynamic model.The results show that changes in values of these factors, will enhance the organization's level of knowledge base and it will be more closed to desired state.

An alternative for decreasing risk for knowledge workers is effective & optimized work break.Major performance criteria in R&D based organization is successful projects. Selection of opproporiate members can be a most effect on the projects achievement. But as the selection of R&D special members lead to decrease of risk, repeatative participation of this people in the same project lead to knowledge concentration and achieve organization with serios risks. Therefore attendance to knowledge and quality project angles is important to selection of R&D teams members. In this study, we developed a model based on Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm.

One effective method for improving the performance of supply chain is making coordination among members of supply chain. This paper studies the subject of coordination of supply chain by using an insurance contract. The supply chain consists of one-manufacturer and one-retailer that the retailer is faced with potential demand and returning of goods from customer. Acceptance of goods returned is a common characteristic of existing competitive market and influences the subject of coordination. In this paper contractual parameters and sale price of goods of manufacturer are determined to achieve a full coordination and win-win condition for both members of supply chain. We compare this contract with revenue sharing contract. The results of research show that for any revenue sharing contract one insurance contract can be defined and in case of selecting contractual parameters properly the manufacturer’s expected profit with insurance contract is improved in relation to revenue sharing contract.
