The aim of this study is to identify the factors and provide a pattern that can lead to successful investment in small and medium industries and show a way for industrial entrepreneurs to enter this important economic field with more awareness. This research is a qualitative research based on interviews with 15 industrial experts in the public and private sectors. After conducting interviews and initial coding using content analysis, out of 215 initial codes, 5 main categories of specific research Using the structural-interpretive modeling (ISM) approach, these categories were classified at different levels and the relationships between them were revealed. The results showed that 5 general groups of factors including: managerial factors, entrepreneur-related factors, production-related factors, market factors and environmental factors are involved in the success of small and medium industries, which according to the entrepreneur-related factors research model in the lowest Surface is in fact the cornerstone of the model and environmental factors play an intermediate role between the three levels of the model. This research will help small and medium industry managers to think of better measures to reduce investment risk and pave the way for growth.

The aim of this study was to design an employer brand model in small and medium industries in Iran. To this end, using Sandlowski and Barroso’s (2007) seven-step method of combining, related categories (dimensions), concepts (components) and codes (indicators) were extracted. The statistical population included a collection of the related articles and studies in the field of employer branding and related concepts. The researchers considered various parameters such as title, abstract, content, and quality of research methodology and based on screening, review and selection from among 218 articles, 60 valid articles were obtained. In order to determine the validity of the meta-synthesis method, Glynn vital evaluation tool was used and to determine its reliability, the inter-rater reliability coefficient was used, which was found to be 0.83. The results revealed that three dimensions including (1) individual development values, (2) organizational values, and (3) social-economic values, play a significant role on the employer brand in small and medium industries of Iran.

The small and medium industries in the world are of great importance, the main reason being their flexibility and they can help in the industry of a country. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the improvement of economic productivity based on innovation, with emphasis on the role of mediating human resource development. The Present Research is a Survey in terms of Method and is applied in terms of Purpose. The sample size is 384 by the Cochran formula for unlimited statistical population and selected by simple random sampling method. The required data were collected by field method and by a researcher-made questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were tested using SPSS software and the research hypotheses test and the proposed model using SEM equations using partial least squares method (PLS). The results of the collected data indicate that innovation with a path coefficient of -55.8% affects on economic productivity and also the innovation variable with a path coefficient of 96.6% due to the human resource development variable on economic productivity Human resource development with a path coefficient of 147. 9% affects economic efficiency.
