In addition, changes in the business environment makes companies to move forward and requires that they become associated with these changes. This requires an effective strategy and considering the fact that many of the strategies are not entered into the implementation phase, portfolio management as a new model of management to implement strategies to help companies comes to mind. In this paper, using literature review and study framework and using interviews and questionnaires, the model is designed for a Joint Stock Company. This includes : strategic plan portfolio, defined portfolio, strategic change management, network structure portfolio, prioritize and select projects based on ANP, measuring earned value project portfolio, collection and delivery information stakeholders confirmed the basket by stakeholders, ratification and implementation of the project portfolio, portfolio monitoring and feedback ". The validity and reliability of the proposed model by collecting 14 questionnaires and Cronbach's alpha coefficient formula and the carcass is proved. In this paper, a field study is conducted in a Joint Stock Company. The criteria necessary for prioritizing and selecting projects that include criteria of economic profit and human resources as well as criteria related to social aspects were extracted and using network analysis process, the selected projects were prioritized based on criteria.

In order to prevent the abuse of this free trade, additional laws and agreements should be attached to the WTO rules. One of them is the TRIPS Agreement that is about the Intellectual Property Rights. Intellectual property rights consist of rights derived from intellectual creativity in the fields of science, industry, literature, art that arise from the knowledge and art or creativity of the creator. But, the laws of the WTO and intellectual property rights, despite their advantages, also have deficiencies. Considering that Iran is a member of the World Trade Organization's viewer, and in the near future or later will become as a final and definite member, therefore, during this time, it is necessary to provide the preliminaries of attendance. Thus, in this paper, some factors have been extracted that are effective in preparing for Iran's presence in the World Trade Organization. To do this, first, articles about the Intellectual Property Rights and also World Trade Organization were extracted and then, related articles were separated and analyzed with these two titles. In the next stage, considering the analysis of the selected articles reviewed, and having a relationship between some variables together, and their combination with expert's opinions, some important factors of these two items were categorized. Finally, Whereas these factors were considered as effective factors in the World Trade Organization and Intellectual Property Rights, some suggestions were made about them that strengthened these factors, which ultimately leads to readiness before entering the World Trade Organization. These factors were classified into two groups: 1) The factor of intellectual property rights whose sub-factors are: a) Motivational Factors, b) Connections Factors, c) Intellectual Property Rights Factors, d) Technology Transfer Factors, e) Market Factors, f) Public Interest Factors, g) Factors related to the Human Rights interactions with the Intellectual Property Rights. 2) The World Trade Organization whose sub-factors are: a) Infrastructural Factors, b) Regulatory Factors, c) Factors related to the Internal Challenges, d) Imitative Factors, e) Incentive Factors, f) Pre-reform Factors, g) Legal Factors.

But knowledge-driven organizations are facing multiple crises in job/work design, reengineering process, organizing activities to increase efficiency. The one that stands out and greatly affects the organization is the maximum amount of work that an organization is capable to complete in a given period. Managers want to know how they can improve productivity in an organization. To do this without the slightest fault, organizations must have mechanisms to help increase their level of awareness. One of those mechanisms involves finding indicators to assess the organizational effectiveness in a strategic way. One of these indicators is organizational awareness that can help to increase revenue and profitability by establishing competitive advantage. Organizational Awareness includes the ability to identify who the real decision‐makers are and the individuals who can influence them, and to predict how new events will affect individuals and groups within the organization. This paper aims to introduce a method to assess effectiveness and organizational efficiency as a tool for achieving organizational awareness. The most important methods to evaluate effectiveness is called Global Organizational Effectiveness Index Subsystem (GOEIS). GOEIS can be used to compare execution to planning, in some defined areas, to verify if the proposed objectives of the organization are being met or not. This effectiveness index is suitable to improve management and performance while increasing effectiveness and organizational awareness. Manuscript profile -

Review of existing literature revealed that, with some exceptions, the phenomenon of green technological innovation and it’s relation to green intellectual capital have been neglected by organizational scholars. Accordingly, this study investigates the abovementioned relationship. The data in this paper were gathered from a sample of companies operating in oil, gas and petrochemical industry, in Khuzestan. A partial least square (PLS) based structural equation model approach were applied to assess the study conceptual model and hypotheses. The results suggest that all three dimensions of green intellectual capital in terms of structural capital, human capital and relational capital are positively related to green technological innovation.
