        Nowadays one of the biggest problems of IT organizations in less developed countries is paying too much attention to infrastructure and technology of organizations. This is due to the point that many managers in organizations believe that existence of IT infrastructure and technology by itself is a sign of maturity of an organization. Although technical facilities and infrastructure such as networks, hardware, software etc., is essential for providing appropriate services and optimal performance, but these features cannot provide a competitive advantage and increase the maturity of the organization. The missing link in these organizations, which have been less considered, is how to use these features to achieve organizational goals. In different areas, there are several standards and optimal methods for defining and optimizing processes. Some of the most complex models which should be considered in different units of information technology are, models and frameworks related to IT governance. IT governance focuses on implementation and management of quality of IT services so as to meet business needs. IT governance is done by service providers through an appropriate combination of people, process and information technology. The purpose of this paper is to examine different models and frameworks of IT governance models, in order to propose a framework for assessing IT services Manuscript profile

        Nowadays, the importance of nobility has cumulatively grown among increasing competition between corporations and myriad of researchers and managers gravitate towards business model innovation as the guarantor of profitability and persistence. In spite of various models and frameworks related to business model innovation, no comprehensive model has been proposed so far to recognize and priority characteristics of business model innovation. In order to proposed a framework by systematic literature review of articles indexed in WOS and SCOPUS have been collected and 42 selected articles have been examined, interpreted and eventually combined by means of meta-synthesis method. It was found that the characteristics of business model innovation can be categorized as the overall four frames of innovation in content (including 2 macro-definitions of 1.value chain activities, 2.intra-organizational activities), innovation in structure, innovation in governance and innovation in value capture. Then the importance and priority of characteristics was determined using Shanon method. Eventually, requisite suggestions according to the findings of research have been presented. Manuscript profile

        Water and its ancient exploitation methods in Iran, which a large part of its territory is characterized as arid and semi-arid, has continuously played a determinant role in establishment of cultural landscapes and as a whole, in its socio-economic developments. With the beginning of modernization and turning to new planning methods, with introducing interim development plans (from 1948 onwards), along with the implementation of Land Reform Act (1962), and perhaps most importantly, the change in the state's basic incomes from taxes and duties (shareholdings) to oil, with growth of urbanization and expansion of industrial activities, the country witnessed unprecedented changes in large scale water management, with focusing a completely centralized framework and dominant role of state. . After the Islamic Revolution (1979), the process of increasing the country's capacity to exploit the water resources was expanding unprecedentedly. During the period, regional development programs, with emphasis on water resources, in new land areas, with comparative advantage, gave way to implementation of development plans throughout the country. Thus, the attitude toward water resource management and its governance has received somewhat new features. This article tries to study these processes and approaches to water governance and their role in balanced and sustainable development, and, as well as, their spatial implications as a case, in the Karkheh irrigation zone(Khuzestan). The study was conducted on the basis of a mixed (quantitative and qualitative) method, using structured questionnaires and interviews, group focused discussion sessions and non-cooperative observation and discussion. Efforts have been made to review the Karkheh Irrigation Development Plan, based on the points of views of all stakeholders at various national, regional and local levels (including managers and experts from different fields, such as university professors, experts in water, agriculture, environment, development planning, local community representatives and common beneficiaries of the project), by using the methods of individual and group interviews.

        There are controversial views about the implications of the use of busy managers on the board. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between busy managers and earnings management with an emphasis on the role of corporate governance. The data required for this study included 90 companies that were accepted in Tehran Stock Exchange during the years 2011-2017. Results based on regression models show that busy managers have a negative and significant effect on real earnings management. In this way, employing busy managers on the board reduces the real earnings management and, consequently, increases the quality of earnings. However, there is not a meaningful relationship between the number of busy managers and accrual earnings management. In addition, the findings suggest that corporate governance does not have a significant effect on the relationship between busy managers with earnings management. In sum, the findings provide empirical evidence on overall employment policies Manuscript profile

        The subject matter of the present article is the interaction of national sovereignty with the transnational one in the context of globalization. This study shows that, national sovereignty is not threatened by globalization in itself. Rather, it, maintening its identity, acquires a global identity, so they can coexist with each other. Globalization does not take place merely from above, but there is a new form known as "globalization from below" which lessens the pressures of "globalization from above". Interactive view of the Islamic Republic of Iran can have such influence, and can lessen the pressures of globalization, and positively contribute to transnational sovereignty. Examples of such a view are "dialogue of civilizations", and "public diplomacy". Manuscript profile

        In the model of good governance, the three sectors of public, private, and civil society work together with separate boundaries and in an interactive relationship in order to achieve development goals. This model is inconsistent with the current approach of civil society based on the Hegelian conception, which is based on political economy and conflict. Now the question can be asked that in the absence or diminishing role of economics and politics in the definition and explanation of civil society, with what basis and approach can this concept be explained in the model of good governance? The present article argues that cultural approaches to civil society, including Jeffrey Alexander's approach, can further explain civil society in terms of good governance. In this article, the writers discuss some aspects of this explanation by a descriptive and analytical method. The method of data collection is documentary and library, and by referring to reliable sources and analyzing them, documents have been provided to test the hypothesis of the article.

This article tries to analyze the implications of the liberal-mindedness non-ideological axis approach for international environmental regimes. The findings of this paper show: In an approach to the benefits of liberal Institutional, international environmental regimes are built on the basis of two variables of international institutions and environmental interests. Institutional co-operation is directed at covering global governance and environmental commonalities based on rational choice. This approach also shows that the cooperation of international bodies for the management of global environmental issues, which have strong rational justifications, not only regulates the international anarchy, but also reduces environmental costs.

        Information Technology is recognized as a competitive enabler in today’s dynamic business environment. Therefore, alliance of business and Information Technology process is critical, which is mostly emphasized in Information Technology governance frameworks. On the other hand, Enterprise Architectures are deployed to steer organizations for achieving their objectives while being responsive to changes. Thus, it is proposed to align the business and Information Technology through investigating the suitability of Enterprise Architecture scenarios. In view of this fact, investigating a flexible decision making method for business and information technology alignment analysis is necessary, but it is not sufficient since the subjective analysis is always perturbed by some degree of uncertainty. Therefore, we have developed a new robust Data Envelopment Analysis technique designed for Enterprise Architecture scenario analysis. Several numerical experiments and a sensitivity analysis are designed to show the performance, significance, and flexibility of the proposed method in a real case. Manuscript profile

The social sciences and humanities owe engineering sciences the application of systems methodologies, especially soft methodology over the past few decades. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the capabilities of various research methods in soft operations in governance studies and according to the research questions based on the method adopted (qualitative approach using meta-analysis) in the period from 2000 to 2021, it was found that the use of soft methods is on the rise. "soft systems methodology, scenario-based planning, and viable systems model" being used for governance studies, corporate governance, public governance, and information technology governance. The studies led to the extraction of a model for selecting the type of soft research method for governance studies. Therefore, considering that, this study with these dimensions has not been done in the country so far and has not led to pattern design, it is new. It was also found that methods such as heaven-to-earth approach methodology, futures studies, analysis and development of strategic options, and the method of revealing and testing strategic assumptions have been less used in governance studies.

        Urbanization and climate change are two global phenomena and are inherently correlated. Land use, as one of the most important factors in this field, affects climate change in various ways. One way to manage this issue is to use multilevel climate governance, which provides a flexible conceptual framework for understanding the relationship between cities, regions, and national governments related to mitigation and adaptation strategies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the laws related to land use according to the criteria of the governing by authority in the framework of multilevel climate governance in Qazvin urban region. In this study, the method of documentary research and the technique of systematic review of texts and in order to comply with the criteria of the governing by authority and legal materials in the laws and regulations, the comparative-analytical method has been used. In this way, 10 laws regarding the existence of legal articles were evaluated, in which local government officials have been given authority in the field of land use planning. The results of the study indicate that ther are different challenges such as the impact of policies and strategies of development documents on decisions, differences between decisions and upstream documents, differences in the type of reference review and licensing, legal gaps in related laws and inconsistencies in implementation in the field of land use planning in Qazvin urban region, and some decisions are based on less delegated authority at the local level, and the resulting actions are more vulnerable.

Each of these elements helps the judiciary to act as an independent pillar and away from different orientations. To examine the independence of the judiciary, a brief statement is made about the separation of powers in the West and Iran, then the elements of independence. The judiciary is mentioned. Governance is a process that solves the problems and dilemmas of society through collective effort and reliance on public power and its use. Whenever such a concept of governance emphasizes the quality and performance of its tasks, the concept of good urban governance is introduced. Good urban governance is a set of individuals, institutions, public and private sectors that plan and manage the affairs of the city and are inextricably linked to the welfare of citizens.

        23 - The Reason for the Lack of Aristotelian Political Philosophy Over the Orbit of Thought in the Islamic World, the Middle Ages

        Islamic civilization in the second century AH was accompanied by the transfer of various sciences from Greece to Iranian civilization and from there to the Islamic world. In the process of the construction of objective structures, such as the government, it took its mental support from Greece and Plato and Aristotelian philosophy. Along the way, because of the characteristics of Arab culture and its religious elements, as well as the experience of Iranshahr that was being transmitted to the Islamic world, Plato's philosophy and apostasy were taken into account on the metaphysical basis, while Aristotelian philosophy, which is close to realism, became a state of thought. That is to say, the difficulties of the political are not thought of in the orbit of Aristotelian philosophy, but from the point of view of Platonic political philosophy. From this perspective, the question is why was the political philosophy in the process ignored? How would the objective structures of Islamic civilization be organized if Aristotelian political philosophy? The hypothesis in this article is that in Islamic civilization, there were subjective structures and structures that marginalized Aristotelian political philosophy. Intellectual structures such as mental duality, along with the domination of religious ideas, led to the manifestation of structures influenced by this notion in the political arena. Religious thought and mythical ideas were a fundamental factor in the tendency to think about the political and government structure. Of course, the experience of governing in the Iranian life of the Sassanid era, where neo-lauretism was the intellectual support of solving political difficulties, was also favored by Muslims as a model for thinking of social hardships. But on the contrary, Aristotelian philosophy, based on social realities and rational approach, was marginalized in the process. To this end, we analyze the subject with the Wittgenstein Interpretative Approach. Manuscript profile

        The dominant view among liberal and Marxist thinkers indicates that the ruling power seeks to adopt a legal order within a specific territory. Therefore, the ruling power is considered as a system of legal obligations and prohibitions that are applied withinthe law. But thinkers such as "Michel Foucault" and "Gilles Deleuze" recognize a gap in governance mechanisms. Foucault believes that since the 17thand 18thcenturies, instead of legal prohibitions, the government sought to shape its subjects in a positive way and tried to cultivate normal and obedient subjects. In the continuation of Foucault's studies, Gilles Deleuze continues that 20thcentury governments by regulatory ways, tryto lead the subjects towards their goals. In consequence, this article tries to address the question of what factor causes change in the way of governance in Foucault's and Deleuze's thought? The phenomenological examination of the opinions of these two thinkers shows that the root of innovation to governancelies in power. Manuscript profile

        Good governance refers to achieving the rule of law, transparency, accountability, participation, equality, efficiency, effectiveness, accountability, individual freedom, press freedom, and active civil society. Along with these prerequisites, political culture, and in particular the political culture of the elites, is crucial in institutionalizing the principles of good governance, especially in developing countries. This subject has drawn the attention of certain good governance studies academics in recent decades. The results showed that if the political culture of the elites is democratic or accepts at least some minimal democratic values, it can act as the basis for advancing democracy or political development in the sense of raising political participation and competition. In societies where, for various and complex reasons, the political culture of the elites is anti-participatory in the sense of being anti-democratic, authoritarian political structures and an ideology consistent with it can pose a significant barrier to the advancement of democratic indicators. A political culture that is authoritarian and non-participatory acts as a factor that hinders political development. In contrast, democratic and participatory ideals and attitudes significantly influence a country's political development. This is more evident in emerging nations when elite political culture has a more robust coefficient of determination. Manuscript profile

        In recent decades, the issues and problems of cities have become more complex, and integrated urban management needs a transformation and an attitude beyond the attitude and performance of the previous traditional management system. The multiplicity of management and inconsistency of public and private organizations and institutions in charge of urban affairs is one of the basic issues in the field of urban management; Nowadays, the proper administration of cities is not possible without integrated urban management. Realization of management and changes in management approaches happen in a platform known as governance platform. The concept of governance is related to the concept of government, but it is different from it. Instead of focusing on the government, governance flows power inside and outside the official authority and government institutions in the form of three pillars: "Government", "Private Sector" and "Civil Society". In addition, the foundation of governance is the process of decision-making and implementation of decisions, which determines how the three mentioned actors with different priorities and tastes reach harmony. In this way, the topics raised in the category of governance include power and its distribution system, how to make policies, priorities and accountability. In this study, various aspects of governance and integrated management have been addressed and obstacles and challenges of governance in Iran have been investigated. The results show that components such as "the lack of a city and a basic theory to define the city in Iran", "the lack of formation of a powerful and influential civil society", "the lack of development of the concept of planning in Iran", "the lack of the place of the concept of citizenship" ", "the place of urban management in the laws and documents of Faradast", "lack of integration in urban management" and "unstable financing of municipalities and its related problems" are among the most important obstacles in this field (Ashnavar and colleagues, 1400).

        In the whole world, education is accepted as a matter of sovereignty, and it is the same in Iran. The governance engineering of education must change, but for the benefit of the people, not for the benefit of the education mafia; Therefore, popularization should be within the framework of educational policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran, for this reason, any decision that violates the educational policies of the system is rejected, even if it increases people's participation in education. The discussion of the relationship between the government institution and education is, in fact, in the form of the influence of each on the other, so we understand the above discussion by separating the influence of each one separately. In this review, educational institution means scientific institutes that are effective in the academic development of people in a classical way in the society, including education and education in elementary, middle, secondary, higher education and education in fields. And the institution of government means the governing body over the real relations of people in the society.

        Sovereignty is the legal authority of the government in international relations, and one of the forms of governance of governments is economic sovereignty. The economic sovereignty of the government has been defined as the supreme authority of the government in the economic will in the international arena. Among the sources of international law, five international documents have tried to explain the negative and positive aspects of the government's economic sovereignty in the international field. In order to measure the efficiency of the economic governance model, this article has undertaken the economic analysis of the government's economic governance in the international arena and has made five key economic theories the basis of the economic analysis of the government's economic governance. According to the analysis, the Keynesian economic theory guarantees the economic efficiency of the government more than other theories in accordance with the current situation of the international community due to its economic realism and order-oriented approach in implementing the government's decisions. It is worth mentioning that the characteristic of realism cannot be completely considered as a desirable model due to the neglect of human rights considerations, and governments are obliged to take such considerations into account in the implementation of economic governance.

        Cities inherently face complex and wide-ranging challenges that can only be solved through a systematic approach. Not only has the balance of cities collapsed, but it has also made it impossible to achieve sustainability with the current methods of urban management and development. As a result, urban planners around the world are trying to develop models for the development of 21st century cities with an integrated view of all dimensions of urbanization. Responding to the new demands and expectations of today's world, one of the new concepts to deal with the current challenges of cities in the field of urban planning is the development of a smart city, which has attracted a lot of attention in recent years, the smart city as the axis of transformation. And the development of the millennium has been proposed and means the opening of new concepts in urban planning that combines the capabilities of the real and virtual worlds to solve urban problems.

        <p>The Islamic Revolution disrupted the bipolar world system and introduced a new idea of a new sovereignty that considers sovereignty to be God's. This system bases its principles and frameworks on Islamic ideology, upon which ideals, goals, programs, and policies are designed and implemented. Good governance is one of the supreme goals of the Islamic system. To achieve high governance and global civilization, Islamic society needs to provide a plan for all its actors and participants. Therefore, since more than half of the population is made up of "women", the Islamic government is required to set an example for them in its governance. This study uses a descriptive-analytical method to explain Islamic sovereignty and raised requirements. The result of this study is the Islamic governance pattern in the field of women, with an explanation of related indicators. The research findings should be followed in a systematic and interconnected manner across three systems: epistemology-philosophical, value-motivating, and structural. In fact, to achieve the model of women's governance, the three systems must operate in a specific geometry, resulting in the example of the "third model of women."</p> Manuscript profile
