Considering the growing competition and increasing attention toward productivity and cost reduction among firms, quick access to pertinent information has become a competitive advantage for them. Relying on this up to date information, they can reduce their costs by decreasing their inventory, speeding up material flow, taking consumer view in to account etc. in this study we investigate the relationship between enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and supply chain management where Oracle Purchasing Module implemented in Zob Ahan enterprise. Statistical population of the study is operational employees of Zob Ahan enterprise in Isfahan and the sampling method is simple stochastic. Required data is gathered through a questionnaire and we use SPSS and SmartPLS in order to analyze them. Findings of this research indicate that ERP Components including Integration, Material management, Production planning, and controlling have positive impact on supply chain management.

According to Herman Dooyeweerd, understanding the phenomena in everyday life, unlike theoretical frameworks, has a multi-aspectual nature so that none of the aspects is reduced to others. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system includes processes and best practices, which will be transferred to the adopting organization as explicit knowledge. If this knowledge transforms is a part of the end users’ tacit, knowledge may bring success to the system. The end users, in order to do their every day work, have to deal with the system and come to a kind of understanding of the system. In this study, by using Dooyeweerd’s multi-aspectual framework, a model of the end users’ understanding of the system is extracted. This study has been conducted through a quantitative design through which using a questionnaire devised based to the multi-aspectual framework, quantitative data are gathered through a target sampling process. The data are analyzed based on both measurement and structural models and by using the path analysis, the effects of general norms on the system’s success and also the effects of all aspects on general norms are investigated. Data analysis showed that, according to Meeting objectives, User satisfaction and Emancipation as general norms, the ERP’s success in order to be completely realized requires that each general norm is considered as a multi-aspectual criterion. Evaluating ERP success according to end users point of view brings more visibility to some issues, which are usually ignored or missed by uni-aspectual approaches.  Furthermore, utilizing Dooyeweerd’s framework as a life-oriented philosophy for evaluating the ERP’s success is a novel work, which may lead to a kind of  development and enrichment in the ERP success literature.

This research aims to develop a conceptual model, and identify the components of Internet marketing mix. The research has been designed and implemented through a mixed methods design (quantitative -qualitative). The integrated approach used for collecting qualitative data in order to develop a conceptual model was Meta Synthesis. The quantitative data were collected through a questionnaire, and analyzed through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis using the SPSS and LISREL software tools. A total number of 180 questionnaires through a random sampling were distributed among the domain related experts (academicians and professionals), Finally, after collection and control, 145 questionnaires were analyzed. According to other results, the internet marketing mix consists of both integrated internet and common marketing mix. Based on factor loadings, it was revealed that the Internet marketing mix is more important than the common one. Applying a mixed methods design for identifying important components of Internet marketing mix could be considered as the originality and novelty of this research.

Knowledge management is an approach enabling the pioneer organizations have benefited from it in an appropriate manner. Knowledge management as a system of two aspects of the organization and structure that success and its intelligence on the basis of its structure coupled with other organizational systems and subsystems are defined. The focus of this paper is to identify coupling and success factors of knowledge management system based on a coupling with other organization’s subsystems. In this research, the first, coupling structure components of knowledge management system identified then with factor analysis the significance of each of the subsystems of the knowledge management system was evaluated, then by using statistical techniques the importance of subsystems in coupling prioritized. In this study, the success of a knowledge management system in organization with coupling structure approach is considered. This approach, causing greater compatibility knowledge management system with other subsystems base of priority of coupling and intelligent knowledge management system in the organization provides.

The emergence of ERP systems as an integrated and process-oriented information system that supporting all activities of the organization, has led to significant improvements in the performance of deploying organizations. One of the success factors in the implementation of ERP systems is the proper identification of risks and appropriate responses to them throughout the lifecycle. Therefore, this research with an innovative point of view seeks to design a risk control model for ERP implementation by the Grounded Theory (GT) approach during open, axial and selective coding steps. The present research is both fundamental and applied in terms of purpose. The statistical population of this study is ERP elites, interviews with 12 of these elites were conducted using purposeful sampling method. The results of the study showed 58 primary codes and 17 main categories that presented in the form of a paradigmatic model including; causal conditions (pre-implementation risks, implementation risks and post-implementation risks), phenomena (ERP implementation risk control), context (organizational factors, technical factors and human factors), intervening conditions (factors associated with employees, factors associated with project implementation and factors associated with the ERP system), strategies (path improvement, human resource development, organizational change, and Organizing) and consequences (organizational consequences, financial consequences and social consequences) and relationship between its different dimensions is also presented.
