Introduction: The rapidly changing world, necessitates new demands which forces the governments to change the game in terms of policies to support entrepreneurs to fasten the development of new technologies in response to the needs. The success rates of the policies are monitored and reported by GEM. Iran’s entrepreneurship development indicators have a downward trend in recent years. This study is conducted to analyze the content of Iran's entrepreneurship development policies to uncover the weaknesses for policymaker.
Methods:
Quantitative and qualitative content analysis of Iran’s entrepreneurship development policies (2016) is the focus of our criticism; using the basic theory of the global alphabet model of entrepreneurship as our target. The data is analyzed by Max QDA 2020 software.
Results:
The regulatory policies in Iran's entrepreneurship development document are not consistent with the global alphabet model of entrepreneurship quantitatively and qualitatively. The most attention has been paid to behavior instead of perception and attitude and no policy has been formulated in the field of entrepreneurial intention, innovation for production of goods and qualified services.
Conclusion: There is an asymmetry in dealing with entrepreneurial ecosystem which is probably one of the most important causes of our failure and breakdown.

This research investigates the effects of Customer-perceived brand innovativeness (C.P.B.I.) on Customer-Based brand equity (C.B.B.E.). The research consists of four main phases. In the first step, the factors affecting the subject were extracted through the study of research literature. By studying the research literature and examining the theoretical framework, the influencing factors are divided into five dimensions of C.P.B.I., brand awareness, brand association, perceived quality of the brand, and brand loyalty. The concept of C.P.B.I. including 13 parameters and the concept of C.B.B.E. including 23 parameters were introduced as final factors. Therefore, the conceptual model of the research was presented based on the extracted factors. In the second step, the final research questionnaire was designed and distributed among 290 Iranian mobile phone users. Examining the results of completing the questionnaires and analyzing descriptive statistics data was done in the third step. Finally, using the structural equation method and SmartPLS 3 software, the factors' effect and the research model's validity were investigated. The first study of the effect of CPBI on CBBE with a wide scope is done in this research. Also, presenting the research model and checking the validation of the model adds to the value of the research.

One of the primary measures considered in the customer relationship management (CRM) of banks and financial institutions is assessing the service environment in various forms of needs assessment and satisfaction assessment. Customer satisfaction refers to the evaluation and judgment of customers regarding the perceived quality of the service provided according to their expectations. Countries have designed and implemented various indicators to measure customer satisfaction, known as the national index. Each of these customer satisfaction indicators has strengths and weaknesses. In this research, we used Iran's national customer satisfaction index as a composite index of existing indices. We evaluated it in Shahed Shahed Financial Institution. On the one hand seek to confirm and apply the combined customer satisfaction index in organizations and financial institutions. On the other hand, For the first time, this combined index is used to measure the satisfaction of customers of Shahed Microfinance institution.

The purpose of this study is designing a model of professional competency for the court of justice heads in Iran. Since the heads of justice in the country are always selected among judges, the model is mostly focused on the heads and judges. In this research we used both qualitative and quantitative methods. In the qualitative part, we interviewed 21 Supreme Court judges of the country. For analyzing the interviews, the Thematic analysis has been used. Also, we use PLS software to analyze the quantitative data. In the qualitative part, 27 main categories were obtained through the interviews which all of the 27 categories were combined into four main themes based on managerial theories and the relationships among the variables including: Individual competencies, Managerial and organizational Competencies, Meta-organizational competencies, and Judicial and legal merits. One of the differences among this study and other studies is that most of them focus on staffs when they search for competency models while here, we concentrate on the heads of justice’s competency model.
