In this study, using a systematic search of studies related to orchestration strategy in reputable international databases were extracted and finally, 43 studies were identified for final reviews. The present study is applied research in terms of purpose, is qualitative in terms of approach, and is Library research in terms of data collection. Then, by adopting a meta-synthesis strategy and content analysis, concepts and patterns were extracted from selected studies. Finally, the pattern of orchestration strategy formation in 3 main dimensions (context, content, and process), 13 components (increasing the share of platform innovation, creating competitive advantage, creating shared value, knowledge dynamics, innovation appropriability, network sustainability, vision development, Stimulating innovation, legitimation, leadership levers, platform boundary management, platform components and rules) and 38 indicators were identified and categorized.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of different gamification mechanics on the user engagement in mobile applications using objective and subjective data. In this study, we evaluated user engagement in “BESHNO” audiobook application as a case study by comparison between results of objective and subjective data. The research method of this study is descriptive-correlational, causal-comparative and experimental. The sample size of this study is 390 users of the "BESHNO" audio book application (130 users per each gamification mechanic). The results of this study showed that based on the objective and subjective data analysis, using different gamification mechanics has a different effect on the amount and dimensions of user engagement. There is also a significant difference between the findings of objective and subjective data analysis regarding the level of user engagement. However, there is a similar pattern in objective and subjective data analysis when using different gamification mechanics. In addition, the results of this study showed that the "Badge" gamification mechanic is the most effective and the "Reward" gamification mechanic is the least effective mechanics on user engagement.

There are various sources for value creation in project-based organizations. These sources can be employees, technology, structure, process, or anything in the project life cycle. In this research, project managers as active social actors in the project environment are a source of value creation that can create value in the minds of employees with their creative interaction. The purpose of this research is to provide components for value creation of project managers using their daily interactions with employees. A semi-structured interview was conducted with 23 managers with more than 10 years of executive experience in project-oriented organizations. The results of the research show that in order to attract employees' cooperation in carrying out priority tasks, it is necessary to consider the categories of interactive recognition. The training of managers and employees, the required facilities, the structure of work, the weakness in communication are the most important background factors and the influencers of the value-creating social interaction of the project managers, Also, 12 categories were presented as strategic components after data collection and analysis.
