Considering the importance of the ability, expertise, and skills of these companies, consideration of the mental, emotional, and interactive characteristics of the company is an essential precondition for the realization of the goals in the knowledge-based companies. The higher the degree of affiliation of the company to the knowledge workers, the more meaningful the concept of performance management will be. However, so far, in the field of knowledge workers' performance, it has been evaluating the performance of these categories of employees. The prevailing characteristics of performance evaluation systems can be seen as the tangent, downside, downside and low level of integrity and effectiveness of the entire system. The research is composed of two stages. With a library study and a review of the research background, an eight-stage performance management model process was extracted. In the first step, after interviewing 16 experts , using the qualitative method of the analysis, the dimensions (stages) of the performance management process of knowledge workers were analyzed. In the second step, the research was conducted using the Structural-Interpretative Modeling (ISM) approach and the use of expert judgment to design a model for the performance management process of knowledge workers in knowledgeable Based companies.

Attention to balanced and all-embracing development approach in the provinces, reducing inhomogeneity and inequality, and creating territorial justice, policy and planning for the realization of goals that vary with regard to the structural features, facilities and constraints of each province, requires studying and recognizing the characteristics of each province according to its position in the whole country. In this research, the status of different provinces of the country in the fileds of "social, cultural and economic", "economic and productive" and "infrastructure and technology" were reviewed and compared, in terms of development and progress, by K-means as one of the Clustering Analysis methods. The results of the ranking of the province indicate different positions of the provinces. By determining the level of progress of the province at the five levels, the priorities of the provinces are determined. For example, while the province of Isfahan is classified as a developd province for its infrastructure, it is a developing province in the economic and social indicators. Or Tehran province, while it is a developed province in the infrastructural and economic indicators, it is an undeveloped province, in the social indicators, at the same time. Manuscript profile -

After identifying the most important factors, which were prepared by studying research literature and background and confirmed by experts, all variables were drawn as a model in Smart PLS program, in which relationship between the two variables represented a hypothesis. The statistical population of this research included experts in Mashhad food industries units. 128 quality control experts of Mashhad food industries were selected completely randomized as the sample of study by "Rule 10" method. They were provided with the questionnaire of this study which was filled out by them. The results of structural equation modeling suggest that using open innovation in Mashhad food industries could lead to competitive advantage. But this effect will be more significant and impressive through using a sustainable supply chain. Because open innovation has a considerable impact on all aspects of sustainability in a supply chain and these aspects, except for the environmental aspect, have a significant impact on gaining competitive advantage. Therefore, considering the fact that competitive advantage is necessary for survival of an organization, using open innovation process through the effect on supply chain sustainability can lead to more success in obtaining competitive advantage in Mashhad food industries units.

Although systems architecture is considered to be the dominant approach to system thinking / operational research in dealing with complex issues, there is no theory or process for architectural creation. Architecture is the science and art of planning and constructing structures. On the other hand, soft system thinking / soft operations research and structured methods to the problem, with the aim of learning and defining the problem with the help of stakeholders, is seeking satisfactory answers. In this study, by comparing the philosophical foundations of both areas at the methodological level, we would show the usefulness of the system / system research approach in soft operations in order to create a theory for architecture / system architecture. So, in the first step, the architectural mastery / system architecture and system thinking / research in soft operation were extracted and then compared on the basis of the Hamilton logic.
