MoreSuccess Factors in Knowledge Management (KM) capability in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have less been systematically investigated. Existing studies have derived their CSFs from large companies' perspectives and have not considered the needs of small businesses. In this article, existing studies on Knowledge Management capability success factors were reviewed and their limitations were identified. By integrating insights drawn from these studies, the authors proposed a set of 11 CSFs which is believed to be more suitable for SMEs. An empirical assessment was conducted to evaluate the extent of success of proposed propositions using experts’ opinions. The overall results from the empirical assessment were positive, thus reflecting the appropriateness of the proposed success factors. The set of success factors can act as a list of items for SMEs to address when adopting KM. However it can provide a common language for managers to discuss and study the factors crucial for the success of KM in SMEs. The results show that adequate and suitable leadership and management supports, use of Information Technology, bussiness strategies, motivation, resource availability, personnel education, human resource management, performance assessment measures, infrastructures and Knowledge Management processes can increase Knowledge Management capability in small firms. Organization culture, Leadership and management and leader supports and Information Technology were the most important factors Manuscript profile -

Selection appropriate technology transfer (TT) methods may play significant role in obtaining TT projects. Due to the diverse experiences persistent to the field of TT in Iranian Powerhouse Industry, it seems necessary to prioritize appropriate TT methods in order to increase successful and decline failure contingency of future projects. In this investigation, a three phased model including clustering TT methods, prioritizing clusters, and ranking elements in each cluster has been proposed to select appropriate methods of TT. Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) has been utilized to analyze the gathered data of distributed questionnaire among 30 experts. In order to evaluate validity of obtained results once the TT methods have been prioritized by Fuzzy Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (FTOPSIS) method. The findings of this stage confirm previous results. Manuscript profile -

The integrated approach of this study is based on "principal component analysis" (PCA).The validity of the model is verified and validated by numerical "taxonomy". Furthermore, the non- parametric correlation methods, namely, Kendall-Tau correlation experiments shows high level of correlation between the findings of PCA and “taxonomy” and the approach of this study may be used to assess the importance of each of the selected indicators for industrial units of interest. It is observed that the sectors: "Coke, refined petroleum products" (code 23), " Chemicals and chemical products"(code 24), and " Basic metals" (code 27), have the three top grades in the ranking while the sectors:" Wearing apparel, fur" (code 18), "Textiles" (code 17) and "Furniture, manufacturing" (code 36) have the weakest grades in the ranking. Furthermore, the most important productivity indicators are: Value added to salaries and wages- value added per employee-value added to energy cost- production value per employee-production value to salaries and wages and value added to total input.

Development experts and rules used to form the base of our knowledge, and in the end the system output and the model that job satisfaction is achieved This is done whit using MATLAB software. Finally, the model presented in the state-owned companies with a population of 198 persons and 50 persons out of which the results are as follows. Job satisfaction of the employees with 0/42 medium and 0/58 high (in the range [1 0]) and the phase can be expressed somewhat higher levels of satisfaction Manuscript profile -
