In order to survive in the complex environment, budget programming or forecasting models have been criticized as inadequate for today’s business environment. Organizations have to use strategic planning to evaluate internal and external situation, then formulate proper strategies and implement them. The key to execute strategy is to have people in the organization understand it. Strategy map has a significant role in the strategic management due to describing strategies of organization and to help people understand strategies. Strategy map is essentially a graphical depiction of the causal model of an organization’s strategy then developing the causal model of the strategy is also important. This paper presents innovative approach to determine causal relationship and levels of strategic objectives in strategy map. For this purpose an interpretive structural Modeling ((ISM)) based approach has been employed to strategy map. This paper also utilizes the Interpretive Structural Modeling ((ISM)) methodology to understand the interrelationships among the objectives so that those driving objectives, which can affect others and those dependent objectives, which are most influenced by driving objectives are identified. It emphasizes that interrelationship among objectives isn’t only down to up, it is on both side. An actual example of a small case pipe and fittings manufacturing company provides some managerial insights into the methodology.

Using the tools such as information and communication technology is essential for the growth of the tour(ISM) industry, and it is not possible for this the industry to operate and survive in a competitive market without the effective use of such tools. As one of the most effective tools for marketing and influencing the tourists’ behavior, virtual social networks can ensure an appropriate share of the tour(ISM) market as well as other benefits such as economic, cultural, employment, sustainable development, and so on in case of effective use and correct response to the tourists’ demands. The present research aimed to identify and formulate a comprehensive model of the main factors by which, social networks affect the tourists’ behavior in decision making, selection and purchase of tour(ISM) services. For this purpose, after reviewing about one hundred related researches with qualitative and published results in valid journals, at first the main components by which, social networks affect the tourists’ behavior were identified among 400 initial approved sources and interviewing the experts and using Meta Synthesis method and extraction of 1400 open and 45 content codes, and then, the final model was developed for leveling the variables using structural-interpretive Modeling. The final research model consists of five main themes or variables in three levels by priority and influence including macro environment (level three), marketing (level two) and management, individual, group factors (level one) which can be used by all tour(ISM) activists to improve marketing, value creation and profit making processes.

Extensive use of ICT in educational process in educational approaches with the evolution of the universe, the formation has provided smart schools. The knowledge-based societies are key requirements, including schools and approaches to development and entrepreneurship skills of students pursuing licensing opportunities. The purpose of this study is to provide a model for leveling the factors affevting school intelligence. By reviewing the research literature and attracting the opinion of experts, the issue was identifiend in the form of ten facters and thirty six indicator. The validity of the researcher made matrix questionnaire was confirmed by experts. To determine the interrelationship agents were assigned to eight expert in the fields of hnformation and communication technology training technology and innovation. The data obtained from these questionnaires were analyzed using interpretive structural Modeling and in terms of impact or effectiveness was drawn in five levels and in an interactive network each other and Hardware, software, human resources, financial resources and costs are the most effectives and the highest level and information security is at the lowest level.

Religious tour(ISM) plays an important role in Iranian cultural and economic sustainability. Due to the special nature of the Iranian political establishment, this type of tour(ISM) provides many potentials for tour(ISM) development in different parts of Iran. Making the best use of these capacities requires recognition of the barriers and challenges lying ahead of the development of religious tour(ISM). Therefore, this study set out to identify the challenges facing religious tour(ISM), using thematic analysis (TA) and interpretive structural Modeling ((ISM)). Moreover, the relationship model between the influential factors involved in this regard was extracted at three levels via the thematic network. Finally, MICMAC analysis was conducted to measure the influence power and dependence of the factors. The required data were collected through library research and administering a questionnaire on 15 experts familiar with the subject matter who were selected through purposive sampling, out of whom 11 experts completed the questionnaire. The findings of the study indicated that variables such as lack of attention to the chain of providing religious tour(ISM) services, lack of programming, policymaking, and monitoring the religious tour(ISM) process, and not allocating budget and financial supports for religious tour(ISM) development in Iran played essential and key roles in the non-development of this type of tour(ISM). These variables were placed at the third level of the model that affect the second level variables. It was also found that the variables such as inefficient management of religious tour(ISM) facilities and services, inefficient management of religious attractions and events, and improper management of religious tour(ISM) marketing were dependent variables that were placed at the first level of the model.

As a driver of national development, the construction industry has in recent decades gained substantial environmental importance due to its extent and effects on life, business, and the environment. Due to its economic, social, and environmental impacts, the construction industry has been discussed extensively in the sustainable development literature, contributing to development of Green Building Rating Systems (GBRSs) worldwide. This study introduces some of the most popular GBRSs and employs a Multi- Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) approach to investigate the evaluation indices of GBRSs. GBRS indices were obtained through a comprehensive literature review. To validate the identified indices, 400 questionnaires were handed out to respondents, with 260 completed questionnaires being returned. The responses were statistically analyzed, identifying twenty important indices, which were modeled using Interpretative Structural Modeling ((ISM)) and categorized using MICMAC analysis. The (ISM) model showed that the barriers arising from unique characteristics of a region were the main GBRS factor in Iran.

The present study identifies and determines the components. The spiritual curriculum uses interpretive structural Modeling. The research method was applied research in terms of orientation, descriptive approach in terms of deduction, descriptive purpose in terms of research philosophy and mixed (qualitative-quantitative) in terms of research philosophy. The statistical population of the study consisted of experts in the field of educational management. The sampling method was purposive and the number of participants based on theoretical saturation was equal to 14 people. Data were collected in the qualitative part using semi-structured interviews and in the quantitative part using a questionnaire whose validity and reliability were confirmed by experts. The results showed that the components of the spiritual curriculum include self-improvement, self-worth, sociology, sociability, globalization, globalization, spirituality, spiritualization, the need for evolution, the need for meaning, introspection and between is individual. The findings of this study also showed that the components of self-improvement, self-worth and the need for further development are more effective than the components of globalization, sociology, spiritualization, intrapersonal, interpersonal and more sociability.

Due to environmental, social and economic challenges which threat organizations during recent decades, customer orientation and emphasis on his/her needs for competitive advantage are fading. Green SCM is appropriate approach for this issue. Green SCM integrates SCM with environmental requirements in all stages of products design, raw material supply, production and manufacture, distribution and delivery processes, and recycling management in order to maximize energy consumption productivity. So, this survey follows to study obstacles for green SCM in Pars Khodro Co. using (ISM). For this, logistics section in Pars Khodro Co. was surveyed. In the first step, the obstacles were identified and then the main obstacles were selected by experts. In the next step, structure and role of obstacles were determined by (ISM). Findings showed that lack of high and middle level managers’ support was ranked as the first one. Also, lack of active and volunteer role of organization and suppliers in implementation os environmental standards and social responsibilities was ranked as the last one (9th). In addition, dependent, independent, and influencing variables were identified.
