  Success 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

  ERP system implementation can affect all the functions of the areas in organization and lead to increased efficiency and total productivity in the organization. But usually the organizations face with important problems and barriers such as restrictions on capital, resources, poor management and so on during the process of ERP implementation. One of the priorities of economic development in many of the developed countries is small and medium firms. What is important in these companies is ERP system implementation, so in this research we provide a model for successful ERP implementation by using its critical success factors in ERP life cycle. Therefore, study population in this research is small and medium companies based in the industrial city of Rasht Sefidrud taken into account that the number of respondents included 166 patients and for analysing the results by using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results obtained confirm the factors to company's strategy (transparent goals), accuracy of information and knowledge management, organizational structure (organizational readiness), experience, knowledge and expertise of the members of the project team and the support and participation of senior managers in step pre implementation, and approve all contributing factors is in during ERP implementation. As well as factors of change management, system acceptance / resistance ERP, collaboration and communication between departments, participation of stakeholders (end users, shareholders, etc.) and the Steering Committee also approved sample was in ERP post implementation step.

  The purpose of this research is to design a system for measuring corporate maturity for Video game companies . Designing this measurement system requires identifying key indicators of success in Video game companies. For this purpose, after reviewing various models, experts approved identified key indicators. In the following, the suggested indicators of the experts were added to the original model, Based on the final hierarchical model that has 4 main indicators and 31 components, a questionnaire was designed. The statistical population of this research is all managers and specialists of digital gaming industry in Iran. In this research, 70 people were selected using purposeful sampling method, and the return rate of the questionnaire was 45. In this study, the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) has been used to , the capability maturity model (CMM) was used to rate organization maturity. Based on the Organizational Maturity Measurement of video game companies The indicator of management and technology infrastructure is at the managed level, and there are indicators of game development, capabilities, and usability of the game and business performance at the defined level.

  Despite the considerable number of small and medium size enterprises, their impact on the economic area is not remarkable due to the existing limitations in the area of financial resource, human resource, market accessibility and market information. Since most of the active enterprises in industrial clusters are small and medium enterprises, and considering that the characteristics of the industrial cluster affect the function of active enterprises within the cluster and these features facilitate marketing and export activities, One of the most significant ways to overcome these limitations is to organizing and strengthening of the powers of the small firms through the establishment of network and common collaboration between enterprises in the export area as well as the design of a model for the establishment of export consortia. In this research, the goal is providing a model for the creation of export consortia in the context of industrial clusters, information resources from semi-structured interviews with cluster development agent, managers of industrial units that involved in industrial clusters and the study of institutional documents, were collected. It identifies the dimensions, components and features that influence the establishment of a successful export consortium according to the grounded theory by doing open, axial, and selective coding. In addition, 205 concepts were categorized in the form of a model into 26 sub-categories and 6 main categories including causal conditions, main phenomena, executive strategies, underlying factors, confounding factors and consequences. By receiving expert opinions on industrial clusters and export consortiums with a successful or unsuccessful experience through statistical analysis of the questionnaire and using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and through identifying the weight of each category and concept, their relative importance in the success of export consortia was discussed. The proposed model incorporates all the factors that contribute to the establishment of successful export consortia and can be used as a comprehensive model. Manuscript profile

  The purpose of this study is to present a practical model to strengthen the culture of tax paymentin Iranian enterprises. The statistical population of the study consists of university professors and tax experts who have been selected by purposive sampling. Finally, 15 university professors and experts answered the questions in the form of structured interviews. Experts in this study were people who have at least 10 years of experience in studying, teaching or working in the field of taxation. Also, to determine the reliability of the measuring instrument, the value of ICC coefficient in terms of compatibility and absolute agreement was approved. Interpretive structural modeling approach using Matlab software was used to analyze the data in the qualitative part. The results of the interpretive modeling section showed that the final model obtained consists of 6 levels. The factor of following the tax laws in relation to the subject of research and presenting a model for strengthening the culture of paying taxes is more effective and in contrast to the factors of religion and social media have the most impact and the least impact. Also, the results of Mick Mac analysis showed the first factor(electronic infrastructure), The second factor (effective tax rate),The fourth factor (management ability and attitude), the Seventh factor (justice and trust in the tax system), And the twelfth factor (transparency of tax policies) have been research's Strategic variables.
