  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.

  Understanding the characteristics of an organization during different stages of its lifecycle help us make appropriate decisions at each stage in order for solving any problem. Employing the PAEI framework proposed by Adizes, and the system dynamics approach, we have analyzed the characteristics and behavior of an organization during the go-go and adolescence stages of its lifecycle. Moreover, using the system dynamics analysis approach, we have plotted the causal feedback loops and stock-and-flow diagrams of each stage of the organizational lifecycle. Then, the output of the simulations of 100 months of the go-go and adolescence stages of the organizational lifecycle performed in the VENSIM software are obtained .Finally appropriate strategies have been proposed for tackling the problems that the organization may face in each stage of its lifecycle.

  Determining the Portfolio Strategies Proper business-to-business placement in industrial marketing for parenting organizations or holdings is one of the most important tasks of planners. In this regard, there are many methods and techniques that many companies have outlined for developing their own portfolio strategy. The use of the life-cycle model helps companies active in modern technologies and organizations active in the industrial market to first consider their strategies for each of the products without considering their internal constraints. Determine. In this approach, by analyzing the status of the indicators associated with the market, the stage of product life cycle, and determined by the status of organizations in leadership or follow-up, specify attractive products. This paper attempts to present the results of this approach to the Sina Electronic Development Company (holding ICT), one of the major companies active in the communications and information industry. The use of this approach and the results obtained demonstrate the effectiveness of this method For industries or fields of modern technology. In this study, the strategic position analysis has also been used to improve the accuracy of the analysis, and the results are presented in the final section. Manuscript profile

  Objective: This research aims to analyse key stakeholders in Tehran air pollution control project during its life cycle. Methods: Since the research is qualitative, after librarian research and gathering research literature, the actors of Tehran air pollution control project were recognized and the outputs analyzed using Delphi method. Key actors were determined after Delphi method application and analyzed using power-interest matrix during life cycle. Results: in the present study, 12 key actors identified and selected from 23 actors as follows: “Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade”, “Environmental Protection Agency”, “Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting Organization”, “National Standard Organization of Iran”, “Tehran Air Quality Control Company”, “Deputy of Transport and Traffic of Tehran Municipality”, “Insurance organizations”, “Oil Ministry”, “traffic police”, “Automakers”, “Ministry of Health and Medical Education”, “Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development Organization of Tehran Municipality”. Conclusion: in the present study, key actors changed in each stage of projects life cycle while in almost all similar projects this fundamental change has been ignored in the project run time. also after reviwing formal documents, laws and strategies that have been written for solving air pollution crisis it was found that “Insurance organizations” have been ignored as a key actor in solving this crisis.

  Developing a life cycle model of R&D projects is one of the key factors for the success of research organizations. Using a standardized model leads to the creation of a common language between the organization and external providers of products, services and processes. The purpose of this paper is to present a general life cycle model for research and development in research organizations that is approved by various executives, supervisors and auditors. The model presented in this study provides a basis for evaluating the activities of executors and facilitates the evaluation and audit of research and development activities. The model has 4 dimensions, 17 components, 3 key decision points and 156 indicators. Model dimensions include need assessment processes, sample design and construction, manufacturing engineering and production management, and operation and support. The validity of the researcher-made questionnaire was evaluated by 9 experts and 3 questions were omitted. Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.982 was also used to evaluate the reliability of the questionnaire. These results support all the research hypotheses and the rank of the components in each dimension is also determined. According to the results, the need assessment dimension is more important in the life cycle of research and development of research organizations. Using this research model enables research organizations to effectively implement the processes needed for research and development and assists managers and stakeholders in decision making and decision making.
