Several studies conducted over the past few decades on the use of marketing capabilities in manufacturing companies indicate that marketing capabilities are functional and effective and have a positive impact on the corporate level. On the other hand, organizations are increasingly in a position where entrepreneurship is essential for them. Hence, they are increasingly committed to entrepreneurial activities in order to survive and achieve competitive success. The purpose of this study is to identify the impact of entrepreneurial orientation and marketing capabilities on organizational performance, since managers can, by considering these factors, enhance organizational performance and gain benefits such as greater market share and higher profitability. In this regard, after reviewing the related literature, a conceptual model of the relationship between tendency toward entrepreneurship, marketing capability and firm performance with moderating role of competition intensity and research hypotheses is suggested. Validity of the questionnaires was confirmed using formal validity, KMO and Bartlet indicators and Coronbach's alpha coefficient showed the reliability of the questionnaire. The proper R2 values for endogenous structures indicate the adequacy of the model, the appropriate Q2 values indicate the proper predictive power of the model for the exogenous structures and the structural model fitness, and ultimately, the appropriate GOF, indicates the proper power of the model in predicting the variable. To test the hypotheses and the relationship between the variables, PLS (T-value and path coefficients) was used and all the research hypotheses were confirmed.

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on income inequality with an emphasis on Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Under the division of International Telecommunications Union, underlying countries have been differentiated in two groups of the high and average level of information and communication technology. The research modeling is based on Panel data over the time period of 2001-2016. The results indicate that foreign direct investment (FDI) and ICT have a negative and significant effect on inequality in two groups of countries. Also, the impact of (FDI) and ICT on income inequality in countries with high level of ICT is more than those with an average level of ICT but the effect is the same in both countries. Based on the results, ICT in each group of countries can change the stable relationship between FDI and inequality.

This article aims to delineate health management system functions and also introduce current Iran's health system. Three basic applications of information and communications technology applications in the medical field-e health, telemedicine and mobile healthcare going to be explained by reviewing previous studies in regard with contemporary conditions in Iran. Considering this fact that growing telecommunications & informatics industry have brought a revolution in the development of all industries, leads us to this conclusion that the development of these technologies in medical sectors can bring a huge up heavily in health management systems in the near future Storage systems for patient information, medical information systems, medical& surgical procedures, tracking systems management, remote management systems, guiding nurses systems, surge on robots, patient reservation, and many others systems have a common goal which facilitates health management by information technology. Universal access to medical information in the context of electronic networks is not anymore a far dream.

Measuring Tools was transformational leadership questionnaire, bass and Avolio (2002), organizational Sounds Hames (2012) and information technology Akbari et al (1391). Confirmatory factor analysis Verification the construct validity And Cronbach's alpha was assessed the reliability at the appropriate level. To analyze the data, correlation, multiple regression and structural equation modeling was used. Results showed that the transformational leadership was significant effect on both variables (organizational Sounds, IT). However, the impact factor of motivation and social support was positive and more than the other dimensions, Also transformational leadership effectiveness, Mediated information technology Was obtained negative (20/0).
