        Firms must follow a business strategy for success in the competition. There are two proposed strategies of Prospector and Defender firms. Defenders aims in decreasing costs and prices, however, prospectors conduct innovation and high level of R&D expenditures and try to differentiate their product from competitors. But this approach increase future Stock Price Crash, because one of causes can lead the firm to crash risk is bad news hoarding within the firm. With issuing the bad news, stock price experiences crash suddenly.  This paper examines empirically the effect of firm-level business strategies on future stock price crash risk. In the mean time, it is expected in the higher asymmetry information condition, prospect strategy increase crash risk more. To achieve the research’s goals, we selected 117 firms listed in Tehran Stock Exchange as a sample during 2011-2015. To examine research hypotheses we employed multivariate regression with panel data. The finding indicate prospect strategy increase crash risk, however, defend strategy will decrease it. We also found that in the higher asymmetry information condition, prospectors are more prone to increases future crash risk. Manuscript profile

        Designing the contingency model of human resources management strategies using the strategic reference points of Stewart and Brown (2019) at the Export Development Bank of Iran is the purpose of this research. The present study is descriptive survey. The validity of the research was determined by experts' opinion and its reliability was 0.76 with Cronbach's alpha. In the first stage, the fuzzy method was used to design the model, in the second stage, the model was tested with 181 statistical population according to the Morgan table. The results of the Structural equations modeling test using Lisrel software, while confirming the theoretical, showed the experimental compatibility of the model. Finally in the third stage the gap between the status quo and the desired status of quadruple strategies was determined by the t-student test. According to the findings, the Bank's strategy did not fit in both the dimensions of differentiation and cost leadership as well as the employment of the foreign labor market. However, the maintenance of current personnel was confirmed. The HR practices in the whole bank coincided with loyal soldier strategy, but HR practices in the International-Credit Units aligned with committed expert and loyal soldier strategy. Finally, it is concluded that, depending on the various units, it is necessary to establish a complete alignment of strategies. Developing distinct services, reducing costs, training personnel for all units, however, for the headquarters, outsourcing contracts should also be considered.   Manuscript profile

        The alignment of information technology (IT) and business strategy and its relationship with the organization’s financial performance are research domains which are still investigated despite having a long history. The present study attempted to analyze the relationship between IT and business strategy alignment (vertical alignment) and the organization’s financial performance in a five-year period from 2014 to 2018 in a group of companies registered in Tehran Stock Exchange. The configuration theory in strategic management was used to develop the conceptual model and research hypotheses. By analyzing the resulting data, the IT strategy was divided into four configurations of developmental, innovative, and conservative behavior, and the business strategy was divided into four configurations of innovators, cost defenders, distinction defenders, and analysts. Research hypotheses involved the relationship between the combination of configurations and the organization’s financial performance. Therefore, two methods of alignment as correlation and alignment as Gestalt were used. In the correlation test, the relationship between combinations were extracted from the literature, and in the Gestalt method, the configurations were combined in an exploratory manner using the data of the problem without presuppositions in the literature. Results of the correlation test showed that, except for the relationship between conservative and cost defender configurations, the other relationships does not have a significant correlation with performance. In the Gestalt method, two clusters were obtained; the first cluster with a high performance was mainly a combination of innovators’ and distinction defenders’ strategies in terms of business, and innovative and developmental strategies in terms of IT.
