        Nowadays, the wide changes in various dimensions put managers in serious challenges. This issues cause the current plans will no longer be able to response, therefore it is necessary to use new approaches such as foresighting. Meanwhile, one of the main concerns of managers is the effect of their decisions on the key variables. This study using a foresight and systematic approaches and design the dynamic sustainable development model to seeks an answer to this important management issue. First we presented a framework for sustainable development and then, using the “Mic Mac” method identified the key drivers of sustainable development. In the next step, by designing a scenario portfolio, future possible scenarios for sustainable development were determined. Finally, by designing a regional sustainable development model, it is possible to simulate scenarios and decisions, and determine the appropriate scenarios from the possible multi-dimensional scenarios Manuscript profile

        Today, bank Businesses are pressured by their stakeholders to address sustainability issues in their activities. Consequently, attention to sustainability and social responsibility in the banking business is increasing day by day. Accordingly, the main purpose of this study is to provide a framework for sustainability in bank Business. To this end, by using the Meta-synthesis approach, the 268 open codes related to sustainability in the banking industry were extracted from related articles and related studies and these open codes formed 59 axial codes. Then, these axial codes were categorized based on similarities in concepts to 10 themes of economic partnership, financial factors, energy use, environmental action, community participation, development of human resources, customer relationship, products and services, human rights issue , and governance. In the following, they were categorized into four including economic, social, and environmental and governance sustainability. Moreover, ISM structured the relationships between the themes while leveling them in a structural model based on the experts’ interprets. According to the results, the theme of human rights is at the lowest level and considered as the basis for bank sustainability. In addition, human rights, human resources, products and services, and customer relationship themes were placed in the independent area of the MICMAC chart that shows the key role and influence of these factors on other factors in the sustainability of bank business.

        One of the most important challenges of human resource management is implementation of administrative integrity. administrative integrity is a situation in which, administrative integrity has decreased highly and one of the signs of administrative integrity is proper use of resources, specially human resources. If management and organization recognizes most roots of administrative violations, could develop administrative integrity. Hence because of role and importance of performance management system in development of administrative integrity, in this research we are going to identify components of performance management system to develop administrative integrity in public organizations. The approach of research is qualitative and the method is theme analysis and to extract criteria and components of training system to develop administrative integrity, interviews have been done with experts of the administrative and recruitment organization using purposive sampling method. The ideal components of performance management system to develop administrative integrity is extracted in format of 7 main theme, 19 subsidiary theme and 54 concepts and results showed that characteristics of performance management system to develop administrative integrity includes transparency, justice, ethics, legality, prevention and professionalism.

        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.

        Objective: In Iran policymaking in higher education has been done by using a bureaucratic approach regardless of market and real demand for the disciplines, in recent years. Ignorance of the students’ priorities and their attitudes in choosing field of study has led to the unbalanced development of the higher education system and inability to respond to the needs of society. The aim of this study is to identify, evaluate and model effective factors in the utility of disciplines based on students’ attitudes. Methods: In this exploratory study, the private utility factors of disciplines from the students' points of view, in Tehran universities, were identified, categorized and analyzed simultaneously using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling technique (PLS-SEM) and Smart PLS 3.2.9 software. Results: The initial model of private utility of disciplines in this study had 5 constructs and 29 indicators, while the final model includes 3 constructs and 13 indicators. Finally, in addition to multi-group analysis for some nominal variables, the model and Private Utility Function for disciplines were presented. Private Utility Function can be used to measure and compare disciplines utility scores. Conclusion: This study contributes to the need for demand analysis of disciplines in policymaking in higher education. The final model showed that the private utility of disciplines depends on 3 constructs: field-characteristics, university-characteristics and job-characteristics. The students declared that only 13 of 29 indicators, were asked for, are important in choosing a field of study and the cost is not an effective variable. Based on the results, it is suggested that higher education policymakers focus on the constructs and indicators in order to lead students to prioritized area in development programs of country and manage the demand for other disciplines. Since, the cost was not an important variable in final model, financing policies for disciplines could be revised to optimize the government budget allocation. Manuscript profile
