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.

Movements in line with the evolution of public administration, the new public management movement "Public Value Management" was maturing as a new concept introduced in the public service and subsequently evaluate it. In this study, relying on indicators that the concept of "public value" in the public service seeks to identify and rank the indicators are based on the concept of public value So we prioritized indicators to assess the performance of government agencies introduce human resources For this purpose, criteria and indicators are derived from literature and the panel of experts to assess face and content validity were After ensuring the validity and reliability of the questionnaire based on Likert scale 13 to assess construct validity (factor analysis) and reliability (Cronbach's alpha) The construct validity was confirmed was That three factors to establish the reliability (alpha more than 0.7) of a series of factors were excluded. Ten of the remaining pairwise comparison matrix provides a convenience sample of clients state-owned banks (National Bank and farming) were The fuzzy hierarchical analysis of dozens of people in need of care to measure responsive behavior in the first place And standards of appropriate behavior with colleagues of the importance of democratic behavior from the perspective of clients were in tenth place. This prioritization can act as a guide to planning and human resources are state-based public value in banking.

The strategic plan of nanotechnology development in the 1404 vision was passed with the endeavor of the national Nanotechnology Development Staff. This document includes 52 executive plans, which are to be implemented by various organizations. Making policy for the commercialization of nanotechnology is a complicated and unstructured issue in which various stakeholders participate. Regarding the complexity of nanotechnology commercialization policy making along with the role of human factor in it, soft systems methodology (SSM) is used as the research method. In this research, using soft systems methodology (SSM), the unstructured issue of nanotechnology commercialization policy making was defined initially. After defining the scope of the issue, an enriched image of different actors and their interests was depicted. Then, using CATWOE, the fundamental definition of nanotechnology commercialization policy making was defined. In the next stage, the developed model was compared with the real world. After that, desired changes for the development improvement of the new system were identified. Finally, applied plans for operationalizing the changes were proposed to the stakeholders and incumbents dealing with the issue, hoping for improving the function of the system and enhancing the effectiveness of the process of commercializing nanotechnology policy making.
