Privatization, partial tariff liberalization and entrance of foreign insurance companies in Iranian market pose serious challenges to domestic insurance companies. This paper discusses competitive intelligence as a means of gaining competitive advantage for insurance companies and seeks to study its effects on creation of sustainable competitive advantage. A sample of 123 middle and senior managers working in Iran Insurance Company in Tehran were surveyed. Data were collected via questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Model (SEM) in PLS software. Results showed that competitive intelligence had a positive effect on creation of competitive advantage based on two sets of process and contextual factors, with the former exerting greater effect in this regard. It was concluded that companies were required to gain competitive advantage by establishing a strategic unit to collect, analyze and share intelligent information derived from internal and external environment

In response to the changes in economies and technology in recent decades, research in organizational theories have been focused toward innovative and entrepreneurial organizations. A research issue in this evolving research endeavor is adaptation of human resource management and the establishment of a sustainable human resource management. This paper investigates the main characteristics of a sustainable HRM in innovative organizations. The aim is to identify sustainable HRM as a key toward competing in turbulent markets. The problem statement is to find the relationship between psychological capital, HR flexibility and sustainable HRM in innovative organizations. Three main variables of HR flexibility, HR sustainability and psychological capital form the theoretical model of this study; and four hypotheses are developed based on this model. Findings do not reject any of four hypotheses, so it is concluded that psychological capital and HR flexibility has positive and meaningful effect on sustainable HRM; and in addition, psychological capital has positive and meaningful effect on sustainable HRM. Moreover, flexibility has moderate role in relationship between psychological capital and sustainable HRM

Transmission and popularization of knowledge among personnel leads to a functional synergy in theinnovation processes of organizations. It has been found that most research on organizations are relatedto knowledge sharing, while the knowledge hiding has seldom been investigated. Firms that operatein a software industry are among the knowledge-based organizations in which employees are requiredto possess specialized knowledge and skills to perform their tasks. The dissemination of knowledgeand information can help organizations to be innovative and to improve their competitive advantage.Current study shows that information does not flow through the employees of sample organizations, andemployees prefer to hide their organizational knowledge from their colleagues in order to maintain theirown portfolios. Using thematic analysis, and interviews as data collection method, some thematic issueswere extracted. These themes include, behavioral characteristics, complexity of knowledge, Powerof requesting person, organizational incentives for knowledge sharing, Lack of clear responsibility forknowledge sharing, Sense of internal competition, level of trust to colleagues, effect of ubiquitous media,learning ability of the knowledge demandant, Level of personal contacts with colleagues, Deceivingcolleagues, Violence, Negative feedback from organizational environment.

Using the annual data of Iran’s economy from 1981-2012, this study examines Wagner’s law and the Keynesian hypothesis about the relationship between the real government expenditure and the real GDP. In this regard, this paper investigated the relationship between the total government expenditure, the GDP and the relationship between government educational expenditure and GDP using bivariate and multivariate models. The multivariate model is used to reduce the specified error issues that has not been considered in many studies. The co-integration was examined using the auto regressive distributive lag method (ARDL) of both long-term and short-term relationships. In making the estimations of the Wagner’s view, the variables: real GDP, capital stock and labor force stock respectively, had a positive, a negative, and a positive impact on total government expenditure and the long-term relationship is true in this regard. Additionally, in the estimation of Keynesian model, the educational expenditures, unlike real expenditures of government, had a long-term relationship. In addition, the variable, capital, in both models had a similar effect on the real GDP, and the labor force coefficient in the presence of the total expenditures and educational expenditures were negative and positive respectively.

espanolLas universidades han mostrado un fuerte deseo de comercializar investigaciones e innovacion. Como resultado de esto, cada vez mas buscan depender menos de los presupuestos publicos. La comercializacion se ha convertido en la entrada a la privatizacion, sin embargo, la seleccion incorrecta de las estrategias de comercializacion con frecuencia resulta en la eliminacion de recursos y tiempo. La correcta evaluacion y ranking de estrategias para los mejores recursos es esencial para el desempeno competitivo de una universidad. El hibrido entre el DOFA y el modelo proceso de analisis jerarquico difuso (Fuzzy AHP) adoptado en este estudio, provee una categorizacion clara de las estrategias de estas universidades. Los criterios principales y relevantes, al igual que los subcriterios, son identificados utilizando el analisis DOFA. La herramienta Fuzzy AHP se utiliza luego para evaluar y valorar los factores internos y externos que afectan la competencia en las universidades de Iran. Teniendo como base la matriz IE, el crecimiento y el proceso de construccion de las estrategias son prioridades cuando se tiene en cuenta la comercializacion. Los resultados de este estudio revelan que los emprendimientos academicos, la tecnologia conjunta, los laboratorios de investigacion conjunta, las alianzas estrategicas, los expertos en reclutamiento y las contrataciones con la industria son las mejores estrategias para las universidades iranies. EnglishUniversities have shown a strong desire to commercialize researches and innovations. As a result, they are increasingly weaning themselves from public budgets. Commercialization has become the gateway for privatization, but the improper selection of commercialization strategies often results in the elimination of resources and time. The correct evaluation and ranking of strategies for the best resources is essential for the competitive performance of a university. The hybrid SWOT and Fuzzy AHP model adopted in this study provides a clear categorization of these university strategies. The first and relevant criteria as well as sub-criteria are identified using SWOT analysis. Fuzzy AHP tool is then used to evaluate and rank the internal and external factors that affect competition in Iranian universities. Based on the IE matrix, the growth and the process of building strategies are important priorities when considering commercializing. The results of this study revealed that academic startups, joint technology, joint research laboratories, strategic alliances, recruiting pundit and contracting with industry are the best strategies for Iranian universities.

espanolLas empresas tradicionales solian disenar productos, evaluar mensajes de mercadeo y controlar los canales de distribucion de producto sin una interfaz del cliente. Con los avances en las tecnologias de la interaccion, sin embargo, los usuarios pueden facilmente tener un impacto sobre las empresas: la interaccion entre los clientes y las empresas se encuentra en este momento en su punto maximo en comparacion con el pasado y ya no es controlada por las empresas. Los clientes estan desempenando dos roles actualmente: creadores de valor y clientes, al mismo tiempo. A diferencia de los clientes tradicionales, que no tienen ningun rol en la innovacion de los productos o los servicios, los clientes de hoy han alcanzado una posicion de influencia que les permite ser innovadores y co-creadores. En otras palabras, ya no son solamente compradores, usuarios o defensores leales de un producto. Examinamos el rol de la co-creacion sobre las influencias de la capacidad de innovacion y desempeno de la empresa. Desarrollamos hipotesis para evaluarlas utilizando datos de la encuesta de los investigadores. Los resultados sugieren que implementar la co-creacion logra mediar parcialmente el efecto de la capacidad de innovacion. Discutimos las implicaciones de estos hallazgos para la investigacion y la practica e implementamos un modelo de co-creacion de valor unico.

Delante de lo expuesto, el objetivo general del estudio fue verificar la existencia de la influencia de las caracteristicas demograficas de los altos ejecutivos en el desempeno economico empresarial de las empresas listadas en el sector no ciclico de la BM&FBOVESPA en el ano de 2014. La muestra del estudio resulto en 39 empresas del sector no ciclico, y de esa muestra fueron colectados los datos de 182 directores. Por medio de los resultados se observo que, dentro de las variables de edad, tiempo en el cargo formacion, y genero, estas dos ultimas presentaran relacion estadisticamente significativa con el ROA de las empresas. EnglishThe upper echelons theory, which was initially introduced by Hambrick and Mason (1984), affirms that the cognitions, values, and perceptions of senior executives influence the strategy selection process, and consequently, the company’s performance. Accordingly, the overall objective of this study was to verify the existence of the influence of demographic characteristics of senior executives in the business economic performance of the companies listed in the non-cyclical sector of the BM&FBOVESPA (Sao Paulo Stock Exchange in Brazil) in 2014. The study sample consists of 39 companies of the non-cyclical sector and the data collected were then provided by 182 directors. Based on the results, it was noted that among variables such as education level, age, gender, and time in office, age was the only variable that did not show any statistically significant relationship with the organizational performance.
