The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new conception of management as "Synnovation". This term was raised against synergy. Synergy implies that the outcome of collective labor is far greater than the outcome of the work of each individual, or in a more literal sense, "the whole is greater than the sum of the components." On the basis of genius, the result of collective innovation or system innovation is more than the sum of individual innovations. The concept of synnovation emerged from analyzing textual data and theoretical sampling of the works and text of interviews of management experts and thinkers such as Gary Hamel Ralph Stacey and Tom Peters and analyzing the data obtained using the Grounded Theory. Based on this concept, the innovations of individual employees in the context of communication and collective discourse find synergic property and lead to incremental innovations, and senior management of the organization must provide the necessary platforms for the synergy of innovations and staff geniuses for the survival and continuity of life and growth and Enhancing the organization.

Considering the characteristics, such as the principle of decentralization, democratic structure, local and non-governmental planning, decision-making, increasing the role of non-governmental organizations and civil society, paying attention to the common interests of the people, distributing opportunities, and establishing social and geographical justice, increase the efficiency of the local government which can be considered a good and efficient example of good governance due to its special nature and functions. In this perception, decentralization (one of the pillars of the national government) is the most important and main goal of the local government in achieving good governance. The lack of good governance in the country, especially in rural areas, can be the source of many social problems in society. In the present study, an attempt has been made to investigate and evaluate the reasons for the failure of local governance in Iran in the rural areas of Zanjan Province.

Given the importance of labor law in regulating labor-employer relations and its determinant role in the economic development of manufacturing firms, this study was done aiming at analyzing the labor law of the Islamic Republic of Iran from the viewpoint of employers from the perspective of human resources management. This research is an applied one in terms of objectives, and the grounded theory was applied for data analysis. Statistical population includes employers of industrial companies located in Tehran, among whom 8 employrs were selected through Snowball sampling method and theoretical saturation rule, and in-depth interview was utilized as collection instrument. The results of data analysis showed that for employers the most important weakness of the law is the lack of transparency and different inferences from the text of the law and the limited powers of the employer in the labor law. According to the employers, the current law may not be effective in arbitration between the worker and employer, and this widens the gap between the actual human resource conditions and the content of the law.

Decision making is one of the most important activities in all organizations, and in the meantime, it is more important in innovative and knowledge-based firms due to the lack of structure and resources on the one hand and the impact of decisions on the organization on the other. The business environment generally has many uncertainties, and this uncertainty about start-ups and technology-based businesses is much deeper. Deciding in this uncertain environment has limitations that make many technologists unconsciously use intuition in decision making. The purpose of this study was to study the descriptive process of intuitive decision making in technology and knowledge-based companies. Given the nature of the intuition, the method used in this research was qualitative (Grounded Theory) and based on the analysis of interviews. The results suggest that there is sufficient evidence that the decision-makers of knowledge-based companies use intuition in the uncertainty environment, and that information and time are the causative factors causing uncertainty. In addition, it was found that experience and intuitions are inextricably linked, and the mental patterns and curiosity of the variables associated with them. Unstable environment of business also play the role of the underlying factor of intuitive decision making. Increasing the speed of decision making, creativity and reducing feelings of regret from positive outcomes and increasing decision errors are also the negative consequences of the use of intuition.

The purpose of this study is to provide a model of trust building process in the country's relief network considering the importance of establishing trust in the supply chain of humanitarian services as well as theoretical poverty in the field of trust building. To perform this study, three major recent events in Tehran province have been selected as a case study. Due to the lack of qualitative research in the field of trust building, using the grounded Theory, 2015 version of Corbin and Strauss, the model of trust building process in the relief network is designed and edited based on interview with 8 experts and members involved in the relief network. Given the importance of establishing trust between the members present in the relief network and the lack of a comprehensive model in this area, the present study aims to design a trust building model among members of the relief network and to examine the critical role of trust in the successful relief process and its reflection.The research findings are classified in three phases of conditions, actions and outcomes. The weak structures of the society and the community management system are a major obstacle to building trust. And insufficient funding, lack of certainty, unsuccessful performance, lack of coordination and cooperation between responsible groups and lack of preparation are the main sources of distrust. The most important finding of this research is the lack of trust in the humanitarian supply chain due to the reliance on public assistance.

Policy research as one of the most important stages of policy making, brings policymakers actions closer to policy knowledge. Policy research is the process of conducting research on social issues in order to provide scientific advice to policy makers. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors affecting the policy research in the Iranian legislature. Given that the policy research arm of the legislative branch of government is the research center of the Majlis, research data has been gathered from experts and managers of that institution. In this regard, by combining two themes based on expert interviews and interpretive structural modeling (ISM), it has been attempted to identify and then classify the factors influencing legislative policy research. The findings of the study suggest a four-level model. The first level includes the themes of "influential stakeholder groups", the "objection to the internal procedure of the Islamic Consultative Assembly (Majlis)", the second level includes the theme of "ambiguity in prioritizing a plan or bill", and the third level includes the themes of “profitability in some of representatives” and political interests of representatives". Finally, the fourth level contains various themes, such as the "knowledgeable approach of representatives" and the "difference in the viewpoint of research center of government and parliament".

It is important to pay attention to the suitable selection of candidates to enter Farhangian University because its results play an important role in the development and transformation of education and consequently, the reconstruction and progress of society. The current research is a combination of sequential exploratory design in terms of its practical purpose and research method. Socio-statistics in the qualitative phase included 22 documents which were determined according to the level of theoretical saturation and analyzed by content analysis method. The validity of the codes was confirmed using the researcher's self-review method, and their reliability was confirmed using the test-retest reliability. The data collection tool in the quantitative stage included three researcher-made questionnaires, whose reliability was confirmed through Cronbach's alpha. To determine the importance of each indicator using the Delphi technique, the questionnaire was given to 30 experts who were selected by snowball sampling. For the final classification of the identified markers, the focus group was used, and Kendall's coordination coefficient was used to determine the level of consensus among the members of the Delphi group. The results showed that the competencies include individual competencies and social competencies. Individual competencies included four interpersonal, value-ethical, professional, and personality dimensions, and social competencies were determined by four dimensions social knowledge, social motivation, social perception, and social inference.
