Abstract:
The aim of this study was to investigate the structure of small and medium auto – parts manufacturing enterprises and to determine the interrelationship of them, and their relationship with the suppliers, the market and financial institutes and creditors, and the scientific research centers in the form of industrial clusters in order to introduce the cluster development model. In this research project, a field research study of a cluster has been done by using various data collection methods such as questionnaires, interviews, observations and objective measurements in order to analyze the value chain of production processes and determine the matrix of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of cluster (SWOT). In continuation of the program, by using cluster modeling tools within UNIDO framework, the proposed cluster model of the auto parts industry for Tabriz was devised and developed. The findings have shown that small and medium enterprises of auto-parts, due to lack of mutual cooperations for producing common products, unavailability of sufficient capital and proper investments and also weak communications and weak business to business relationships, have not been able to take advantage of research programs available for them and this has resulted in diminishing businesses and many bankruptcies. If these enterprises can put their businesses into a healty and effective framework such as cluster strategy models, it would be possible to bring about a healthy situation within 3 to 4 years. The model produced can be easily adapted to many other different clusters. In recent years, there has been a lot of discussion on the ways of adopting appropriate models of development in Iran. Time and again, different views have been voiced on the conflict existing between the priority of the economic development and that of the social justice. These views often carry the implication of state economy as supporting social justice and the market economy as reinforcing economic development. In this paper, following in the footsteps of H. M.'s views, we have claimed that the state economy and the market economy in relation to social justice are not positioned at the ends of the continuum. Rather, they are conflated: the two ends, like the ends of a horseshoe, are much closer to each other.In parallel with this analysis, we have claimed that in the center of the horseshoe, or to put it differently, in between the state economy and the economy of the market there is a key factor to the effect that professionalism in administration can best ensure the interaction between the social justice and economic development. It has also been attempted to put forward the professionalizing concept of management and its establishment laws. In this regard, the selected pattern of the rate of being governmental or freedom of economic system, concerning variables such as political stability and development rate on the one hand, and the existence of bilateral trust in society and professionalism of management on the other hand, offers two matrices for selecting the pattern. According to the frame of the introduced variables which are identified according to this obligatory model, the government's interference in the economic affairs in Iran’s current condition shoud be developed.The problem of effective leadership has always been one of the unsolved problems of organizations. If the managers' leadership style is parallel with the needs and motives, achieving organizational goals will be facilitated.This research studies the relationship between the leadership style and motivation of middle and lower- level managers in Pump Iran Co. The goal of this research is to identify the leadership styles of managers in those levels and their relationship with their motives. The relationship between the above variables was determined by Pierson correlation coefficient and was tested by student test. The results from questionnaires showed an imperfect adverse correlation between autocratic style and motivation and an imperfect direct correlation between participatorg style and motivation. This paper tries to investigate the adaptation rate of car parts producing firms with Just in Time system’s criteria.Two questionnaires have been used for data gathering. The first one has been used to determine the current situation of the firms in terms of JIT system’s characteristics by 97 production managers of the firms. This questionnaire included 42 Five-statement questions that were scored in the range of 0-100. The second questionnaire (paired comparison matrix) was used for determining the importance weight of the sub criteria. Finally the adaptation rate of car part producing firms with JIT system’s criteria was measured using the weight mean formula. After calculations, radar chart showed that there is a relatively great gap between the situation of car part producing firms in Tabriz and the Just in Time systems. According to the Resolution of Administrative Supreme Council in 1379, all public sector agencies are obliged to design and implement suggestion system. This article tries to evaluate this system based on the CIPP Model in the Yazd Branch of Tele Communication Company. Based on this model, four dimensions of suggestion system – Context, Input, Process, and Output - were evaluated to find and improve its deficiencies.The results of this research indicate that the adaptability of the suggestion system with the situational variables in this public company and the desirability of its process are at an average level. Meanwhile, its effectiveness and its input desirability are under expectation. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance its degree of success by modifying environmental conditions and doing managerial actions.In this paper a new method to improve the inconsistency of pair wise comparison matrices is proposed. To do so, we used Zeshui’s method in fuzzy form. Also we developed a complete fuzzy AHP method by combining Cao’s inconsistency test method, Buckley’s revised AHP method, Chen’s ranking method, and Genetic Algorithm method to calculate the overall priorities.The basic purpose of this study has been to investigate the state and quality of the staff's work life in Islamic Azad university of Tabriz. The Research method is descriptive survey.The statistical population includes 851 people of regular and contract staff of Islamic Azad University of Tabriz.The sampling volume was 251 using Cochran formula, and sampling was carried out according to the proportional and partial random sampling method. The validity of the measurement tools of inquiry has been confirmed by the educational experts.In order to determine the reliability of the questionnaires, Cronbachs Alpha – test was used. The reliability of the questionnaire was calculated as 0.93. The statistical test results showed:1-S The quality level of Tabriz Azad university staff's work life was rated mediocre . All components of the life state (such as: Adequate and Fair Salary ؛Safe and Healthy Working Conditions ؛ Opportunity for Continued Growth and Security, Constitutionalism in the Organization; The Social Relevance of Work life; Total Life Space) except the component of total life general space are mediocre and the last-mentioned component was rated as low.2-There was no significant difference between their marital status and the quality of work life.3- There was a significant relationship between their age and quality of work life.4-There was a significant relationship between their work experience and the quality of work life.5-There was a significant relationship between sex and the quality of work life.6-There was a significant difference between the present and ideal status of the quality of work life. This research was done with the title of examining the staff and experts’ view points about total quality management categories in order to represent a proper conceptual framework for high schools in Ahar in 2006-2007 (academic year).This subject was examined with a heterogeneous statistical population of three determined classes including professors, authorities and experts, and managers and assistant managers totaling 217 people and with a sample size of 140 people. This research employed field study (survey), and descriptive and inferential analysis including factor analysis tests and one-way variance analysis as well as SPSS,and a questionnaire including 42 questions with reliability index and also with a validity confirmed by experts, and simple random sampling and stratified sampling method. In the research the need was felt at a very high level (more than 80 percent) for the components of TQM, and on this base a proper conceptual framework has been drawn for TQM in high schools that includes five components regarding their significance: cooperation and participation, education, continuous improvement, customer orientation, and commitment. Furthermore, there wasn’t any significant difference between the professors, managers and assistant managers’ viewpoints about the suggested conceptual framework, but there was a significant difference between the two mentioned groups’ viewpoints and authorities and experts’ views.The first two mentioned groups have estimated TQM for the optimal situations more than the latter group. In this paper, the consumption behavior of the Urbanal households of the country in Iran has been studied over 1358-1380 through "Almost Ideal Demand System" model. The articles studied in five main groups include "foods, drinks and tobacco products", "clothing and shoes", "residence, fuel and electricity", and "other goods and services". To study the consumption behavior of city households, Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) has been used. The estimation of the mentioned system has been performed by SUR method. After estimating this model for various article groups of the country urban households, the related, intersecting and income price elasticity has been calculated. The results obtained from hypotheses test show that the homogeneous hypotheses denoting the lack of users’ monetary suspicion, impressibility of household consumption basket by the relative changes of prices, the necessity of article group of " food, drink and tobacco products " and " furniture ", the concordance of price related coefficients with the demand theory has been verified and the conjunction hypothesis (on the intersection effect of prices) is rejected.
