The effect of dimensions of knowledge sharing on a variety of strategic mind map of managers and employees

Based on cognitive school of strategic management, the mental (intellectual) map of managers and employees is highly effective on survival and development of their companies. The number of mental maps that managers and employees of a company have on situations and categories (quantity) and the quality (accuracy and precision) of mind maps can be decisive factors in the success of their companies. One of the most important factors affecting the mind map is knowledge sharing. This study seeks to explain the dimensions of this impact. Based on objective, this is a descriptive - explanatory study, while it is an applied one according to the result. It is cross-sectional research based on time, and a surveying according to the methodology. The target population members included the managers and employees of a large industrial complex in the North West of Iran. The sampling method was a stratified randomized approach, and the sample size was calculated using the Cochran formula as 237 subjects. The data were collected by a researcher-made questionnaire containing 36 questions. The results showed that knowledge sharing affects the formation of a strategic map of managers and employees significantly and differently through each of the three categories of organizational factors, personal factors, and knowledge factors. This means that each of these knowledge sharing approaches affects each of the eight mind maps with different quality and quantity. Also, knowledge sharing is not a universal current among all managers and employees; in addition, it is unclear that sharing of knowledge will essentially boost more useful and functional mental maps, and perhaps, it would act otherwise. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct the process of knowledge-sharing to continuously integrate and improve mind maps of decision-takers and decision-makers

Explaining the Effects of Data Analysis Approach Compared with the Intuitive Approach on the Strategic Decisions of Government Managers

How is the quantity and quality of data analysis approach to strategic decision making? This study has been aimed to explain the answer. The quantity means the amount of approach application. And the quality is related to the approach comparison with the intuitive one as well as its application in four strategic decision making situations – decision making based on little information, fast decision making, risky and ambiguous conditions. Methodology In this study, target population includes senior managers of the relevant public and private institutions. Predictor (i.e. analysis approach) and criterion (i.e. strategic decision making) variables have three and four components, respectively. Data were collected by Likert questionnaire including multiple choice questions. The method of data collection was direct. The questionnaire reliability and validity were approved. Data was analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistical techniques such as t-test. Results Three methods of analysis approach are used in senior managers' strategic decision making process, but the application of this approach is less than intuitive one. Senior government and non-government managers tend to use intuitive approach. Keywords: Quantitative and qualitative data analysis approach, data analysis approach, Intuitive data analysis approach, Strategic decision making

Adaptation of global climate change projections for local level application: Case study, special forest ecosystem, Astara

Abstract During recent years, a series of climate projections provided for surface temperature increase and precipitation changes over the next century in various time slices. National institutes are using downscaling projections for more precise results. In this research study, various climate change projections in global, continental, regional and local scales have been examined in special forest ecosystem in Astara. To study past climate conditions, main climatic factors namely temperature and precipitation as well as relative humidity and wind were considered. Downscaling climate projections in national and local scales have some agreement and disagreement with available global, continental and regional projections. According to all reports in different scales temperature of Astara region, in last half century has been increased. In the longer future time period, the study area will face with higher values of increasing temperature. According to the scenario A1B (2090-2099) in the winter, western part of Hyrcanian forest including Astara will experience 10% increment of precipitation and in the summer 20% decrement of precipitation. This is in agreement with Central Asia sub-region projection and in disagreement with West Asia sub-region projection. For the future projection of precipitation in Astara area, there are no significant differences between global, Central Asia sub-region, Middle East, national and local downscaling projections
