As educators in different universities, we have noticed many shifts in energy and mood in ourselves and our students during the tsunami of changes brought on by COVID-19. As the way we deliver education pivots and pivots again, rather than just weather these changes, this research seeks to identify just what those changes are, how they are being addressed and the impact of them.

Each member of an organization would be exposed to the deficits both spiritually and physically in case of not benefiting from organizational health. So, it would gradually end in the disruption of organizational operations, including entrepreneurship, so as not to achieve the highest goals of the organization. For determining the relationship between organizational health and entrepreneurship, the present research was carried out of district 1 Iran Teaching Hospitals. This cross-sectional study was carried out on 946 managers and experts at level one hospitals of the University of Medical Sciences in 2019.The measuring tool was the standard questionnaires of entrepreneurship and organizational health of Organizational Health Index(OHI). The data were analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient and Structural Equation Modeling using the partial least squares method and Smart PLS2 software. The results showed that the organizational health at an institutional level (r = 0.98), organizational health at managerial level (r = 0.94), organizational health at the technical level (r = 0.95) and overall organizational health (r = 0.98) are significantly and directly associated with the organizational entrepreneurship (p ≤0.05). In terms of the direct relationship between the organizational health and organizational entrepreneurship, it seems that by improving the organizational health, the entrepreneurship will be improved and vice versa.

The purpose of this paper is to shed light on the digital transformation of LEGO and to figure it out in innovation-oriented growth decisions. To this end, the study here examines the transformation process of the company from diversification to smart specialization strategy in more detail. Besides, where digital architecture for toys requires many innovations at the same time, authors discuss what LEGO does to add value. More importantly, the typologies of innovation strategy elucidate the changes and improvements that foster digital transformation.

The reason for the emphasis on innovation and strategy was the need for organizations to be successful in performance criteria and growth aspirations against competitors. The fact that the competition continues to increase day by day and the entrance to the market is becoming more difficult in every sector shows the fact that companies need to improve their innovation skills in order to ensure sustainability in national or international activities. In the research, the effects of service innovation activities on financial and market performance, as well as strategic analysis and strategic orientation, are examined in banks which have a significant position in the service sector. The surveys were collected from 358 (white-collar) employees at the expert level, after the research model and the sector to be researched were determined. SPSS 25 and AMOS programs were used in the analysis, and the Sobel Test and Hayes process were used for mediation variable analysis. According to survey data, service innovation has a positive impact on both strategic orientation and strategic analysis, as well as financial and market performance. In addition, it is understood that strategic analysis and the mediation effect of strategic orientation variables exist.
