        The purpose of this study was the evaluation of e-learning in Iran higher education by using benchmarking approach. The population was all of students in four universities which presented e-learning. By multistage clustered sampling method, 702 students were selected.

Results showed: the university D with higher mean in all of seven dimensions had the best position among three other universities.

        For improving a technology it is essential to enactive NIS to help technology to be grown. It is same for Aviation industry too. Aviation industry is one of the seven major industries in the world in future. And improvement in this field can cause improvement in other industrial fields. On the other hand one of the most important way for technology catch-up is Benchmarking. Benchmarking help us to see how can be successful. Three factors act major roles in air industry: first, economies of scale. Second, airframe manufacturing .Third, in the case of airplanes, development, modification and maintenance require extremely intimate manufacturer-customer relations or user-active innovation. In this sense, every passenger jet that takes-off, is in fact a customized product rather than a homogenous commodity. These three are the most important things to pay attention in air industry in this article .here we compare NIS in Japan, Russia, Brazil and analyze what they have done for improving aviation industry. And see which of them is more successful. Then choose the most suitable and compare Iranian air industry with the prosperous country. And suggest a NIS model for IRAN. Manuscript profile

        To reach bright diagnosis from others, experiences and alternatives is not only the way to familiar with guidelines of future plans, but although it is a fine policy to learn from doing, processes, methods and techniques along with weaknesses and strengths coming from design and implement K.M. The papers objective is to show how to gather and represent K.Ms firm & how to use them for K.M.S. Different paradigms to be used to analysis K.M. based on benchmarking because utilizing them for Iranians firm is very important theme. The outlines of the paper based on strategic priorities and management commitment by survey different cases to catch fine intuition from individual K. and org.K. . K.M. principles, implement alternatives, gather, present, disseminate and measure KM, K. Environment explanation for formatting K. types and sources. The papers approaches extended on benching firms procedures about them. Manuscript profile
