If we consider accidents in mines and mining industries, through a system perspective, we will attain a better understanding of the nature and the causes of these accidents. Some of the inputs of our industries are: human resources, technology, and financial resources. Shortages in any one of these resources will have impact upon our working environment and may cause accidents in workplace. Hazardous conditions, unsafe act, old methods & techniques, shortage of skills, know-hows, unsafe equipment and tool, are some of the positive entropies in our mining industries. Managers should eliminate, control and minimize hazardous conditions and they are obliged to provide negative entropies in order to minimize the occupational accident. Employees should have access to a safe place to work, safe tools & equipment, knowledge of overt and covert hazards, competent fellow employees and supervisors, and the means to ensure that the rules and regulations are observed. In order to meet these serious obligations, managers should view the whole issue through a system perspective and use system approach to minimize the unsafe conditions and maximize the occupational safety.

In recent years, establishment of national total quality management (TQM) models by many countries have become an important catalyst for rethinking quality management principles in their organizations. The national concerted efforts in developing national TQM models, have helped to identify the quality system requirements by introducing a set of standard criteria for understanding quality and a common reference for quality policies and practices. The trend in designing national TQM models and establishing quality awards in national, regional, and local levels represents an important part of the overall quality movement that has swept many countries in the world since mid-1980s. For example, in addition to Japanese and American TQM models, the European Foundation for Quality Management in conjunction with the European commission has launched the European TQM model for self-appraisal in 1992. These initiatives are
playing a key role in the quality revolution in these regions and are effectively raising quality performance standards and expectations throughout the world In light of these developments, the need for developing a framework for a national TQM model for Iran is apparent. This article identifies the principels of TQM and attempts to construct a preliminary TQM framework for Iran.

Surely, in modem competition era among companies, losing or gaining only one customer is also important. Multiplicity of Companies and competition among them, compel them to attempt to attain only one group of customers, because attaining whole of customers in such competition have been impossible; So companies think they need market segmentation and classification. Of 'course origin of this need return back to the past, am on the base of it simple segmentations have done. In this paper we argue new, advanced and progressive conceptions, overviews and approaches in market segmentation, for better customers recognition, facilitation selecting target customers, and more contentment for them, so that prosperity of firm be provided. These conceptions comprise hyper-segmentation (micro - marketing), mass customization and finer segmentation; Approaches also start from multidimensional segmentation, continue by latent class models fuzzy and overlapping clustering and cluster analysis, and finish by market segmentation using artificial neural networks. Method of artificial neural networks has discussed more.

Many researches point out that organizational commitment has remained a topic of interest ever since it was introduced in the early 1950s to the field of organizational behavior, because they believe that properly managed, organizational commitment can lead to beneficial consequences such as organizational effectiveness, improved performance, reduced turnover and reduced absenteeism (Meyer & Allen, 1997; Baruch, 1998; nowadays, 1998; Buck & Watson, 2002; Dixon, 2002). The present study devotes to investigate the effect of human resources management policies as three subsystems: staffing, appraisal and reward, employee relations to the rate of employee organizational commitment and diagnosing the weakness points of these policies. It is shown that there is significant relationship between HRM1 policies and rate of OC2, using the analysis of information which obtains from questionnaire, two dimensional Chi - square test, Gamma and Somers's d correlation coefficient. Also, using one dimensional Chi - square test, we diagnose the problematic HRM policies of the rate of employee organizational commitment.

Organizations are entering to the knowledge based economy which in science and intangible assets are known as the most important competitive advantage for them. The present research aims to investigate the effect of intellectual capital on entrepreneurial opportunity recognition at knowledge based firms in Yazd’s science and technology park of Eghbal. Our statistical population contains 75 managers of knowledge based firms in Yazd’s science and technology park of Eghbal. Due to the limited numbers of managers, the census method was applied for sampling. The two standard questionnaires (Moon & Kym, 2006 and Puhakka, 2010) were used for gathering data. Structural equation modeling with smart PLS 2 software was applied for analyzing data in two sections of measurement model and structural model. In measurement model section, technical features of the questionnaire in terms of reliability, convergent validity, and discriminant validity were investigated. Moreover, in structural model section, path coefficients were used for testing hypotheses. The results indicate the positive and significant effect of intellectual capital and its dimensions on entrepreneurial opportunity recognition at knowledge based firms in our sample. Besides, we conclude that intellectual capital is a potential source for knowledge based firms’ competitive advantages that consequently leads to the growth and development of these firms and getting a better situation of entrepreneurship in them.

Strategic management contains three major stages, planning, implementation, and control, assessment. Implementation the strategies is the general stage of strategic management. setting up a strategy which never gone to be Implemented, is a waste. So the next step after setting the strategy is implementation, to transform long strategies to short activities and optimal targets. The implementation stage is the most difficult stages, since the ideas and strategic approach should transform to the practice. Many strategy plans just documented in organizations but there is no implementation, because manager dose not focuses to the implementation as well as setting the strategy. This paper emphases and focused to the specifications which can act as the variable to simplify implementation of strategies. In the other word the target of this study is to identify and determine suitable conditions in organizations to implement a strategy. In this paper two manufacturing companies (a public stock and a private stock) and a servicing company (private stock) is studied deeply and interviewed with more than 23 manager, advisor and, strategy planer across the companies. These companies had the documented strategy plan and implemented that strategy. Then by utilizing the fundamental Theory research methodology, the interviews texts were coded and various concepts and categories exported. These categories again approved by the interviewers and finally delivered a model base on the paradigm model framework. The constitutive factors of this model have shown how the strategic plans can implemented in a rational view. Actually this model has shown the transformation stage of strategy plan to the practice. In the other word the model determines the suitable conditions for implementation of the strategy. Using this model can fill the gap between setting a strategy and to put it in practice and make it implementable.

Power balance and control is considered as one of the most fundamental issues in the governance literature in which, position of the public as main owners of power is of paramount importance; however, it seems it is losing its importance more and more these days with the growing power of governments. In the governance systems, power is checked and balanced in two ways: the first way is through interactions among triple powers, and the second is through the centrality of civil society as a link between administration and thepublic. In the present study focusing on the second approach, “checks and balances pyramid” is designed by three constituents including administration, civil society and the public. To clarify the issue and torecognize its triple constituents, 67 key indicators were initially obtained by Delphi technique and then they were judged by the connoisseurs and elites of political science, sociology, law, economy and public management. Finally, the requirements for establishing power balance and control system were studied.

Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching a joint agreement about differing needs or ideas. For successful negotiations, both parties should come to the negotiating table with having done some serious thinking about the barriers to and complexities of cross- cultural communications. There are four phases in negotiations: relationship building, information exchange, persuasion, and agreement. Beneath cultural differences in negotiation norms, are differences in underlying values and philosophies about the negotiation process. Among different strategies of negotiations: win-win, win-lose, and lose-lose, the first strategy is the best because it will help both sides to get benefit out of negotiation process.
