New Technology-Based Firms (NTBFs) have significant contribution to economic growth, and in particular to promote innovation and job creation. For this reason, many countries are seeking to establish and grow such institutions with encouraging policies. Despite the economic importance of these companies, there is no single definition for them, and several definitions for these types of companies are tailored to the purpose of each study. Because of the nature of the need to produce a coherent framework for the characteristics of these types of companies, it is important that the purpose of the present study is to identify the features of the NTBFs. For this purpose, the research works that covered the nature of this concept from 1990 to 2011 were analyzed by content analysis. In the first phase, definitions of these companies were compiled, and further identification of the effective nature of these companies was identified. The results of this research led to the identification, confirmation and prioritization of the five features that include being new, advanced technology, independence, small size in terms of number of employees and volume of sales and funding by the founders, which according to the most frequent characteristics of the articles in question were prioritized. The final result of this study is to guide and streamline future research by achieving theoretical coherence in defining this concept.

The growth of various studies accomplished regarding the barriers to electronic banking and facing with a kind of dispersed information in this context necessitates performing combinational studies which would provide researchers with the extract of current studies related to this subject in a scientific and systematic way. The purpose of this study is to investigate the results of research works in the field of electronic banking barriers in Iran and to examine the 19 articles using the meta-analysis and comprehensive meta-analysis software (CMA2). A total of 10 studies have been selected and reviewed based on inclusive criteria. The result of meta-analysis regarding electronic banking barriers including 7 variables indicates that: managerial barriers with the effect size of 0.751, cultural barriers with the effect size of 0.598, regulatory barriers with the effect size of 0.579, technical barriers with the effect size of 0.544, and economic barriers with the effect size of 0.518 have the most preventive effect on the establishment and development of e-banking.

To evaluate and select appropriate knowledge management strategy, a lot of organizational factors should be considered. Processes of knowledge creation, knowledge sharing, knowledge retention, and knowledge acquisition are involved in the selection of appropriate strategies. In this study, a methodology is offered to develop a knowledge management strategy. With regard to the infrastructure and processes of knowledge management bottlenecks of spiral knowledge processes are identified. Accordingly, strategic solutions are formulated for organizations. A review of the theoretical foundations of previous studies and factors affecting organizational knowledge management strategies have been explored from frameworks and administrative procedures. In this methodology, factors which influences on knowledge management strategy are as follows: organizational structure, corporate culture, information technology, human resource strategies and processes of knowledge sharing, knowledge capture, knowledge acquisition, and knowledge creation. In this study, the effect of mutual impact of organizational structure, IT and human resource management strategies on knowledge management strategy with the approach in knowledge spiral of the organization is emphasized. The proposed methodology was confirmed with a survey of 36 organizations and academic experts. At the end, the methodology was implemented to 2 different organizations and the results were analyzed.

Activities such as the use of social networks, the use of blogs and podcasts, download, upload content and online shopping and in the workplace can be concept of a "Cyber loafing".

Therefore, the aim of this research was to determine the relationship between perceived organizational control and fear of punishment, to employees cyber loafing in the workplace. Current research model, based on data collected from 315 questionnaires randomly Iran Khodro Industrial Group's employees, distributed and collected, based on structural equation modeling (SEM), was tested by LISREL software. The results of the analysis show that the perception of the physical presence of the head, and perceived organizational control (β=0.83 and t=13.01), and also the perception of the physical presence of the head and the fear of punishment (β =0.67 and t =4.30), there is a significant correlation. The results show that the perceived organizational control and cyber loafing (β =-0.53 and t= -4.20), and also the fear of punishment and Cyber loafing (β=-0.33and t=-2.89), relationship there is an inverse. In this context, the relationship between perceived organizational control and fear of punishment, not confirmed. According to the results seem to increase understanding of the physical presence of the head, due to the perceived organizational control and the fear of punishment can be effective in reducing employees Cyber loafing.
