Organizational change is one of the critical decisions in every company. It cannot be implemented if managers do not pay attention to corporate resources, especially intangible assets such as knowledge, innovation, and intellectual property management. With regard to the importance of this issue, this research aims to develop a model for developing today’s organizations in the oil and gas industry into knowledge-based organizations with the emphasize on various organizational resources. For this purpose, first, we discuss the requirements and necessities of the oil industry to become a knowledge-based organization. Then, we try to define the constructs of developing such a model. The research model is based on the idea that for creating competitive advantage, the active organizations in the oil industry should prioritize and focus one system out of three choices of knowledge management, innovation management, and intellectual property management to strategically manage their intangible capitals concerning the current situation. Finally, by the combination of these basics and concepts, we propose a model for organizational change in the oil industry to move towards the knowledge-based organizations. We define six steps in this process

Globalization is an undeniable issue with economic, political, and social aspects. In other words, globalization is the growth of the economic, political, social, and cultural relationships beyond national boundaries. It has drawn the attention of many economists and politicians in the last few decades. This study aims to investigate the effects of globalization on the economic growth in 74 developing countries, grouped in upper middle income and lower middle income using combined data. The indicator used for globalization in this research is capital account restrictions, and the research models have been studied from 1970 to 2016. Based on this study results, the impact of whole globalization, economic globalization, social globalization, and political globalization indicators in developing countries in two groups with higher and lower than average incomes are positive and significant. Hence, this study confirms the positive effects of globalization in all aspects of economic growth in developing countries in two groups.JEL Classification: C23, F62,O47

With the spread of globalization in different aspects, especially the economic aspect, economists started to study the effects of globalization on the economic indexes. Also, the available information and statistics indicate that global inflation has reduced during the last few decades. At the same time, countries’ emergence in the global economy has speeded up. Thus, as inflation and its control are one of the economic problems in many countries, especially developing countries, the current article studies the positive and probably negative effects of economic globalization on the inflation rate in 22 developing Asian countries in the 1994-2014 period. By using the economic dimension of KOF index as the substitute variable for economic globalization as well as the random effects method for estimation, the results indicate a significant negative relationship between economic globalization and inflation in the studied countries. In other words, with one unit increase in globalization index, the inflation rate falls 0.39 unit. Therefore, it seems that countries’ struggle to join the economic globalization and waiving the trade restrictions and obstacles is effective in lowering the inflation rate.JEL Classification: C23, E31, F41

This paper has studied the role of physical, human, and social capital on the economic growth of 20 selected provinces of Iran by using the augmented augmented-Solow model expanded by Ishi and Swada. Mankiw, Romer, and Weil regression equation derived from the research model is specified according to two classes of unit root tests for the panel models in two forms and is estimated by the generalized method of moment for dynamic panel data (GMM/DPD) and orthogonal deviation technique. The results of the estimation of the first form of regression analysis indicate that 1% increase in growth rate of national saving leads to 0.57% increase in growth rate of per capita gross domestic product (GDP), 1% increase in the number of university students (as representative of human capital saving) leads to 0.035% increase in per capita GDP growth rate, and 1% increase in growth rate of closed cases of returned checks (as representative of negative social capital saving) leads to 0.038% decrease in per capita GDP growth rate. The results of the estimation of the second form of the regression analysis confirm the role of three factors of physical, human, and social capital on the economic growth of studied provinces.JEL Classification: O11, H54, R10

Self-care is a valuable step in preventing and controlling the high-risk sexual behaviors leading to sexually transmitted diseases, and ultimately improving the general health of vulnerable women in society. This study aimed to determine the effect of self-care education on the general health status of vulnerable women. The current field trial study was conducted in 2011-2012, in vulnerable women referring to counseling centers affiliated with provincial support service centers in Isfahan City, Iran. A total of 64 women were selected according to the inclusion criteria and were randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups. The required data were collected using a demographic data questionnaire and general health standard tool. The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistics. The obtained results indicated no significant difference in the mean general health pretest scores of intervention and control groups in general health domains (P>0.05). However, immediately and three months after the implementation of the general healthcare program, the mean general health scores of all domains significantly reduced in the intervention group, compared to the controls (p < 0.05). The implementation of Orem’s self-care educational program can play a role in promoting the general health of vulnerable women in terms of biosocial aspects, as well as anxiety and depression. It is suggested that this program be used in healthcare centers for vulnerable populations.JEL Classification: C33, F43, O11, O47

Considering the position and value of free trade areas in the economy of the community, these areas are necessary and prioritizing these areas is very important in terms of economic indicators. Therefore, in this paper, to optimize the allocation of the country’s economic resources and the effectiveness of economic indicators, the priority of seven free trade zones is estimated using the TOPSIS decision-making method for the 2006-2015 period and ranked the final position of free trade zones. The results of the mentioned method indicate that according to the indicators of export, import, domestic and foreign investment, transit, registered companies and institutions, Maku free trade zone with the similarity index of 0.919 has the highest rank and then the free areas of Arvand, Kish, Anzali, Aras, Qeshm, and Chabahar. Hence, the economic status of these areas could be developed by strengthening indicators such as increasing foreign and domestic investment, exports, and access to the global and regional markets.JEL Classification: B41، E29، F29

Increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases is an essential factor in changing the world’s climate. In many cases, the small changes in climate conditions can result in significant climatic changes, natural disasters, and economic losses. In this paper, the association of the CO2, as the most important greenhouse gas, with financial development, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita, urbanization, and trade openness in Iran is investigated using fuzzy regression model from 1978 to 2013. According to the results, GDP, trade openness, and financial development have a positive impact on CO2 emission. Also, the study results indicate that continuous increase in GDP has a negative impact on CO2 emission. Due to the rising production of CO2 in Iran, it is necessary that policymakers take appropriate environmental policies to protect the country from becoming a shelter for polluting industries because low environmental standards in the country are reviewed as a relative advantage. With regard to the benefits of financial development, the policymakers could take measures to increase the technology of production, attracting foreign investment, and lower energy consumption. They also can approve laws on industrial companies and force them to invest in environmental-friendly projects.JEL Classification: C22, G00, Q56

Considering the importance of oil in Iran’s economy, in this paper, the long- and short-term effects of oil shocks on the real Gross Domestic Product (GDP), liquidity, and inflation are investigated using the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) and Granger causality during 1990 to 2017. The results of the symmetric model indicate that the effect of the oil shock on real GDP and liquidity is positive, but its effect on inflation is negative. The results of the asymmetric model show that the effects of positive oil price shock on real GDP, inflation, and liquidity are positive, negative, and positive, respectively. Also, the negative impacts of oil price on real GDP, inflation, and liquidity are negative, positive, and negative, respectively. However, the effects of positive oil shocks on real GDP, inflation, and liquidity in the long-run are respectively more, less, and more compared to those effects by the negative oil shocks. The effect of positive and negative shocks on the variables is asymmetric, which means that the response of the variables to positive and negative shocks is in opposite directions, but with different values. Given the asymmetric effects of oil price shocks on macroeconomic variables, it is recommended that the government, over time, reduces the budget’s dependence on oil to eliminate the impact of oil shocks on government spending. If the government cannot eliminate the dependence, it should try to have the right management over oil revenues (in the budget, financial discipline) and national development fund sources to minimize their harmful effects.
