According to objective, result and methodology, this study can be considered descriptive - explanatory, applied and the surveying (field work), respectively. The study population included 245 employees working in the general office of Department of Education in Zanjan that the sample size was determined as 152 subjects by simple random sampling method. The data were collected through a researcher-made questionnaire. The research hypotheses were tested by using structural equation modeling method, dispersion indices, Pearson test and Kolmogorov–Smirnov test and by Lisrel and SPSS applications. The results showed that only some components of information literacy can improve intellectual capital. Among the ten components, five components of the information literacy have significant impact on intellectual capital.

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
