Knowledge as a strategic resource in organizations is a major and effective factor in creating and sustaining competitive advantage. In industrial clusters, which include a set of organizations with similar field of activities, there is a joint effort among members to save resources and enhance their competitive ability. One of these joint activities is the exchange of knowledge among the members, which reduces the cost of knowledge acquisition, increasing collaboration between companies, the ability to innovate and strengthen their competitive ability. In this paper, a goal programming model for the process of knowledge exchange in industrial clusters has been presented based on the data of industrial cluster of animal feed, poultry and aquaculture in Golestan and its results have been analyzed. Achieving the ideal degree of knowledge in the cluster and the amount of budget assigned are considered as two model ideals. In this model, for the process of knowledge exchange, there are two types of presence and non-attendance methods that have significant differences in terms of cost and duration of the transfer. Analyzing the model parameters and examining the results shows that the use of both face-to-face and non- attendance methods for the exchange of knowledge enables companies to flexibly participate in the process according to their working conditions and resources. It also provides better understanding to cluster managers in order to be able to make better decisions and planning in order to achieve greater returns from the knowledge transfer process, based on existing resources and goals.

Open banking is a new paradigm that is rapidly growing in the world banking industry. Moving towards open banking and using the capacities and potentials of cooperation with innovative businesses can draw a clear horizon for maintaining banking services' survival as one of the macro banking strategies. But this requires a change in the traditional business model of banks. The purpose of this study is to provide a business model framework for commercial banks with an open banking approach. In this study, using banks' approach to participate in the financial ecosystem and the type of cooperation with third parties, four types of the strategic approaches and the dimensions of banks' business model in each situation are described. Accordingly, each bank can have one of the roles, including the integrator, producer, distributor, and the platform in open banking. In this research, a multi-case study research method has been used in which, based on the opinion of experts, three banks were studied, selected, and the dimensions of their business model were examined. Sepah Bank as a bank with an integrating role, Pasargad Bank as a bank with a producer role and Ayandeh Bank as a bank with a platform role were studied. According to experts in this field, no bank in Iran has the function of the distributor. The characteristics and the dimensions of each bank's business model vary according to their chosen approach to open banking and interaction with third parties Manuscript profile

In this research, while briefly getting acquainted with the automotive industry and the principles and indicators of innovation in a car manufacturing company, it was tried to determine the innovation capability gap between the desired level and the current situation. With this awareness, opportunities are provided for the growth and development of the automotive industry and suggestions can be made to get out of the crisis and recession in this industry. It should be noted that different industrial sectors, while having similarities, have different characteristics and coordinates, and innovation studies in industrial sectors should be done taking into account these differences.

The researcher seeks to conceptualize and answer this question that "What are the indicators of innovation capability in the automotive industry and what is the distance between these indicators and the desired level?" The results of this study show that in recent years, the trend of applying innovation in this automotive industry in Iran is Has decreased and the level of organizational innovation is not effective.
