The results of bioassay by submersion method showed that the lethal concentrations and times of the fungus were significantly different between the Sirvan and Mihan. The mortality of R. dominica was significantly lower on the Mihan infected with a dose rate of 1 g/kg than the Sirvan. The mortality of Rhyzopertha dominica was remarkably higher for the adults exposed to the dose rate of 1 g/kg than the adults exposed to 0.25 g/kg. The mortality of Tribolium castaneum was remarkably higher for the adults were exposed to the dose rate of 1 g/kg than the adults were exposed to 0.25 g/kg. The highest mortality occurred for R. dominica infected with 1 g of B. bassiana per kg of the Sirvan. The pathogenicity of dose rate 1 g/kg on the Sirvan was higher against R. dominica than T. castaneum. The 0.25 g of B. bassiana per kg of the Mihan differentially caused higher mortality on R. dominica than T. castaneum. It seems that planting the Sirvan cultivar in the field can be more helpful to decrease the population of stored grain beetles rather than the Mihan in post-harvest conditions. According to our results, B. bassiana strain EUT116 was a promising candidate as a biocontrol agent to suppress the storage grain beetles, especially, R. dominica.

IS innovations frequently demand the fashioning and incorporation of new roles, responsibilities, relationships, lines of authority, control mechanisms, work processes and work flows-in short, new organizational designs. The survival and growth of business enterprises increasingly depends on their ability to respond to globalization and rapidly changing in market demands, technologies and consumer expectations. Small and Medium enterprises (SMEs) constitute 94% of Iranian firms. According to Iran statistic website the value added of 94% of Iranian firms is just about 10% of the whole value added in country. This study assumes the lag of IS and innovation is the reason of uncompetitive nature of Iranian SMEs. This paper reports on the results of a study that examined Information system (IS) innovation among a sample of 86 managers of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Iran. As the survey results show that the most information resource is clients, customers and acquisition of external knowledge has a positive and significant effect on innovation. Iranian SMEs are not collaborating with universities and higher education institutions; they do not see university as a main source of information.

Cloud computing is a collection of virtual resources (hardware and software, platforms and services) which are accessible and easy to use and can be dynamically changed and realize the customers' demands. Therefore, this research investigated the suggested model for factors influencing the adoption of cloud computing ecosystem in Iran in academic sections, industry and services. Identification of factors affecting the adoption of cloud computing with the ability of trading by different units of the university is a purpose calling for a close cooperation in an ecosystem for governmental and industrial sections along with intellectual property offices and universities. This study is practical and data are descriptive and a survey method is used. The instrument of study consisted of ...

Thus, new product development has always been important for managers and business owners. Given the limited funding for research and development in small and medium businesses, maintaining a competitive advantage and new product development of the network has been offered as solutions. Therefore, in this paper, it is tried to explain cooperation networks and their advantages in new product development of small and medium firms with a descriptive method and study the research carried out.

Companies of any size initiated competitive sharing. Coexistence of micro and macro companies is increasingly prospering through entering micro companies into macro companies’ value chain. Since over 95% of production units in Iran classified as small and medium industries, such enterprises achieve significant portions in gross domestic production and value added. Therefore, this library study describes that how coexistence of smaller firms with larger companies, in recent years, was useful on innovation and technology of removing size inherent limitations and achieving required performance in global competition. Moreover, vertical and horizontal cooperation with customers, providers, and other participators play a significant and distinctive role in innovation process of small and medium organizations.

Innovations reflect a critical way in which organizations respond to either technological or market challenges. Small and Medium sized enterprises (SMEs) constitute 94% of Iranian firms. According to Iran statistic website the value added of 94% of Iranian firms is just about 10% of the whole value added in country. This study assumes the lag of innovation is the reason of uncompetitive nature of Iranian SMEs. This study reports on the results of a study that examined barriers to firms' innovation among a sample of 86 managers of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Iran. Findings of the study show that the most significant barriers are associated with costs, whereas the least significant are associated with lag of information. The survey results show that Iranian SMSs are not collaborating with universities and higher education institutions; they do not see university as a main source of information. Then it is not a surprising point that 29.0% unemployment rate is reported in 2009 however 50% of studied SMEs reported lack of skilled labour as a barrier to innovation.

Government institutions around the world have been using cloud computing in recent decades, and more organizations are increasingly being drawn to cloud infrastructure and technology. The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors affecting the adoption of cloud computing in public service sector and acceptance of cloud computing ecosystems in Iranian government institutions. In this research, a questionnaire instrument was used for purpose of data collection. The statistical population of this study is 60 managers and experts of Information Technology sector of governmental organizations, including Banks, Credit Institutions, Municipalities, etc. (In three metropolises of Tehran, Isfahan, and Shiraz). The Data were analyzed using SPSS 24 software and logistic regression analysis. The result showed that human, organizational and te...

It is a paradigm that computing resources are available anywhere and anytime and businesses can take advantage of it in the same way as they consume utilities like water and electricity. Due to the important role of small and medium-sized businesses in Iran economy, the aim of this study is to design a cloudy Spine for small businesses. According to the views of experts in the field of IT and cloudy computing, information and data in this field are collected by observing, preliminary and systematically interviews. Studies show that this business model provides a win-win solutions for small and medium-sized businesses provider and cloud service consumer. At the end, it is presented for the cloudy Spine model.
