Paying attention to special opportunities and trying to enumerate existing capabilities at the heart of regions by using the scientific and technological capacities available to them are some of the instances in which the shortfalls in development programs can be eliminated and the way can be paved for a balanced progress at the local level with the fair distribution of opportunities. To this end, a transition from first (Education oriented) and second (Education and research oriented) generation universities, towards third generation (3G) universities which, in addition to education and research, actively seek to impact society and the economy, is one of the most central issues which can bring about full scale, dynamic, and sustainable progress in the regions based on science and technology. As a first step in the present research, attributes in third generation universities impacting regional progress have been examined by studying the resources. Using the Delphi method and Shannon’s entropy, the mentioned components and their weight were examined based on the opinions of 63 well-known experts active in the national oil industry and specialists in universities, and research, science and technology centers affiliated to the industry. Twenty-eight basic components and six principal components were approved in the survey of experts. Of these, three were prioritized and given weight in the following order:1) Formulating regional endogenous innovation and value creation ecosystems, 2) designing and implementing a regional skills, education, and training system, and 3) developing organizational capacities according to the new functions of regional universities.

This study examines the effect of Iranian oil sanctions on the International oil market network for the first time with Complex Network Analysis (CAN) with Diebold -Yilmaz and Arch indexes from 1991:01 to 2019:12. The analysis was performed for two periods before and after the sanctions, and the results were compared. Results showed that the Iranian oil market in both networks before and after the sanction is one of the influential nodes in the oil network. The volatility spillover of the Iranian oil market in the oil network market has increased after the sanctions. Also, on Iranian oil, volatility spillover from other oil markets has to Iran increased after the sanction. But overall, the sanction has not had a significant impact on the oil market network. The Iranian oil market volatility was receiver before the sanction in the network, but its role changed after the sanction, and it became a sender node.

The economic aspects of technological advances in the drilling industry using the MRC method compared to other drilling technologies have been investigated in this study. Field and survey methods from combined implementation research methods have been performed by a dynamic approach using Vensim software. Professors, drilling and reservoir engineering professionals in the oil and gas drilling industry, or equivalent positions, comprised the study's statistical population. Finally, 120 individuals were chosen by non-probabilistic sampling (judgment) and the snowball method. In the Vensim dynamic environment, the simulation completion time (based on the 2017 dynamics model) and the initial simulation time (based on the 2013 dynamics model) were adjusted to generate a flow diagram analyzing the economic aspects of technological improvements in this type of drilling industry. According to the causal tree results, the drilling industry's performance has the highest priority among studies of economic aspects of technological changes in the drilling industry using the MRC method, and it has a significant relationship with technological changes in the drilling industry. The sensitivity analysis chart demonstrated that with a change in the variable of indicators of the drilling industry at an average level of 5.25 to 5.5, the target variable, i.e., the performance of the drilling industry, has the least sensitivity and has no particular effect on it. On the other hand, by modifying the effectiveness of the drilling industry, effectiveness indicators at the average level of 6.95, the target variable has the maximum sensitivity and has a very significant effect on it.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the most effective basis for assessing the intellectual capital maturity based on the themes of the ambidextrous learning link. In terms of purpose, this research is part of developmental research. Because of the lack of a basis for assessing the intellectual capital maturity under ambidextrous learning in previous research, based on meta-synthesis in the first step, an attempt was made to identify components as the analytical basis of the research and propositions as reference variables. Then, in order to explain the identified components and propositions, in a small part, intuitive fuzzy sets (IFSs) was used to determine the most effective basis for evaluating the intellectual capital maturity based on the themes of the ambidextrous learning link. In this study, the target population consisted of two parts: qualitative and quantitative. In the qualitative section, with the help of 16 management specialists and experts, an attempt was made at the university level to identify research components and propositions in the form of score forms. In the small section, 50 managers, officials and experts at various levels of knowledge-based companies participated. The results showed that the proposition of strategic tendencies in learning is considered as the most influential themes of the ambidextrous learning link in the studied companies, which strengthens the sustainability of knowledge creation as an effective component in the intellectual capital maturity.

Having strong and capable crews is one of the main desires of any organization. The prosperity of an organization depends on such individuals. According to the resource-based approach, organizations with talented HR have a competitive advantage because the chance of imitating and copying such forces is zero for the competitor. Demand for talents is increasing, and organizations compete to obtain such resources and spend more on attracting and hiring them. A successful organization can identify and maintain talents using appropriate human resource systems. Value-based organization models are effective systems on talent management that have entered the talent management literature. In the other part, the statistical population consists of all talented employees of the NIGC (N = 850) that using Cochran's formula, 265 people were randomly selected as a statistical sample. The goal of this article is to review the literature on the model of value-based organization with an emphasis on talent management in the National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC). This mixed research is practical in purpose and has a quantitative nature. Results showed that to achieve improved management of talents, individual values, professional ethics, and organizational, group, spiritual, psychological, and social values should be given priority. Paying attention to the values of talents and institutionalizing important values, such as challenging work, continuous learning, maintaining self-esteem, giving them independence and freedom, should be among the priorities of the National Iranian Gas Company.

Understanding the oil policies of Beijing and New Delhi as the main actors on the energy market of the Middle East is paramount for the main oil producing countries. By carrying out a comparative analysis of variables in the Delhi-Beijing oil policies in the Middle East, the present article will ask the question of how domestic, regional, and international variables are affecting the Chinese and Indian oil policies in this region. The authors have compared the following key variables in answer to this question: the legal structure and decision-making process, self-sufficiency levels, geopolitical position towards the Middle East, oil diplomacy, the role of technology, and the international economic-political position of the two countries.
The findings of the article show that the government in Beijing has formulated its oil policy using a single, specific decision-making body in the energy sector. It has relied on expanding multilateral ties with other countries, long-term investments, long-term loans, expanding pipelines for energy transfer, and long-term contracts to deepen its relations with oil rich countries, in particular those in West Asia. India, on the other hand, has based its diplomacy on short-term economic contracts and situation analysis and needs assessment. It is, however, clear that both countries will continue to depend on oil from the Middle East in the medium-term despite the threat of US sanctions.

Knowledge and technology can be used as a capability to gain business benefits in organizations. In this regard, in addition to the use of technology in the production of products, technology commercialization to transfer technology to other organizations is considered a practical approach to gain business benefits. Accordingly, this study aimed to identify and prioritize commercialization components in Iran’s gas and oil industry to transfer technology to other industries and organizations since there are high potentials to commercialize and transfer technology in this industry. After reviewing the previous literature and interviewing experts using semi-structured questions and the snowball sampling method, 46 attributes were detected and classified as 10 main components. Then, the confirmatory factor analysis method in SMART PLS software confirmed the 44 attributes in 10 components. Shannon's entropy method and WASPAS method were used to weigh and prioritize the extracted components. As a result of this research, the three main priorities of importance in the components of commercialization were identified the “enterprise capabilities of technology transfer”, “technological capabilities and resources”, and “independent technology commercialization strategies in the oil and gas industry” respectively.
