In all countries, entity or entities are responsible for the governance in the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). In Iran, the governance of this area is the responsibility of several institutions which they must consider a set of elements and their relationships at the national level. The main objective of this paper is to institutionally analyze Iran's ICT governance system based on the cycle of cohesion policy and reviewing the existing challenges. With the review of the literature, a model for cohesion policy has been extracted. Based on this model and extensive research in the literature and interviews with experts in this field and by identifying responsible institutions in the governance of ICT and explaining their key roles in making policies the current situation and institutional challenges in each phase of the model is analyzed.

Organizations are planning and investing in entering different digital fields, and thus e-readiness assessment to measure their success is important. In this study, we investigate the causes of e-readiness based on different point of views using interpretative structural modeling to explain the e-readiness of the medical Industry. Based on a comprehensive literature review and also collecting the opinions of experts (17 experts) six factors were identified to explain the e-readiness in the medical Industry. Then, using interpretation structural model factors were graded in three levels. After determining the levels of each factors and taking into account the availability of the final matrix, the final interpretation model was achieved. The obtained results show that factors such as Infrastructure and access, human resources, and organizational structure in relation to e-readiness assessment are more effective than the other factors in the medical Industry. The results of this research suggest the managers of pharmaceutical industry that for moving toward the digital world important factors should be identified and factors with low level of performance require special attention.
