Purpose: The purpose of this research is to design a model for evaluating digital innovation and transformation in startup business models.Method: The methodology of this reseatch is descriptive-exploratory and employs a qualitative approach. The thematic analysis was employed to study digital innovation and transformation in startup business models. The participants in this research were academic and industrial experts with a background in research and executive work in lean startups. Initially, a purposive sampling method was used to select the samples, and this was later extended using the snowball method. Ultimately, the researcher conducted 14 expert interviews to collect data. The data obtained from the interviews were reviewed and analyzed using coding based on theme analysis. Initially, codes were extracted from the text of the interviews. These codes were aggregated into more general codes, which were further studied and integrated into components. From these components, relevant dimensions were proposed, leading to the presentation of a model based on these dimensions and extracted components.Findings: The results indicate that the digital Innovation and transformation evaluation model for startup business models includes six main dimensions and 19 sub-themes. The proposed model consists of the following dimensions: "monitoring and analysis of market needs" with three components, "evaluation of product development costs" with three components, "digital innovation and transformation in the business model" with four components, "coordination and integration inside and outside the organization" with two components, "evaluation of learning ability and absorption of organizational knowledge" with three components, and "organizational resources and capacities" with four components.Conclusion: Based on the research findings, it is suggested that managers in the technology field understand the importance of lean startups. The indicators in the proposed model may be considered to help prepare and empower startups to improve their products and services. Each proposed dimension can be seen as a management skill necessary for the success of lean startups. Managers may create the appropriate conditions to integrate all of company capabilities.

Purpose: The current research aims to develop a model for digital transformation within the virtual space of the Broadcasting Organization in accordance with increasing the functionality of the virtual space among the audiences. Due to the lack of a model in this field in order to benefit from it, this research aims to extract the components of the model using the thematic qualitative method or theme analysis.Method: The statistical population includes 15 experts in media management and virtual space. To measure reliability, intra-subject agreement method (reliability between two coders/evaluators) was used to determine the reliability of the texts, and the reliability coefficient obtained for all three interviews and the total reliability coefficient was (0.87), surpassing the minimum acceptable threshold of 0.7, confirming the reliability of the codings and the interviews.Findings: The findings indicate that the model requirements consist of 6 main categories, 9 sub-categories, and 38 sub-categories essential for creating digital transformation and enhancing the interaction of the Islamic Republic of Iran's radio and television with the virtual space. The main categories of the model encompass content production, comprising six main components: content production (with six indicators), opportunities and threats (with 11 indicators), strengths and weaknesses (with 13 indicators), digital transformation components (with five indicators), platforms of introduction (with seven indicators), and consequences of digital transformation (with four indicators), totaling 46 indicators.Conclusion: The results show that establishing a favorable interaction in the virtual space and new media by creating a digital transformation in the national media is effective in attracting the audience and improving the performance of the national media and ensuring the satisfaction of the stakeholders.

Purpose: this study has been conducted with the aim of understanding the phenomenon of evading teamwork with a phenomenological approach in the General Department of Cooperation, Labor and Social Welfare of Fars Province. Method: The research method of the present study was conducted with qualitative analysis of hermeneutic phenomenology. In order to collect the data, an interview protocol was prepared. The statistical population included 11 eligible experts who were selected using the purposeful and non-probability sampling method, and in-depth and semi-structured interviews were given to them. Qualitative analysis of phenomenology has been used to identify the main and sub-categories of the research. MAXQDA software was used for qualitative analysis. Findings: The findings showed that 39 sub-categories were identified by examining and categorizing the descriptive codes obtained from the interview texts, according to the seven-step process of Claysey and according to their semantic similarity and affinity, they have been categorized into 7 main concepts including: inadequacy of the educational system, negative personality traits, weak communication and interactions, inappropriate organizational structure, insufficient knowledge and awareness of employees, lack of budget and financial resources, and negative cultural beliefs. Holsti coefficient was used for the final validation, reliability, transferability and verifiability of the data. The value of PAO in the present study was 0.712, which is greater than 0.7, and the data was confirmed. The results show that the categories of inadequacy of the educational system, personality traits, poor communication and interactions, inappropriate organizational structure, insufficient knowledge and awareness of employees, lack of budget and financial resources, and negative cultural beliefs have a direct impact on teamwork.Conclusion: Finally, practical suggestions were presented to the managers of the General Department of Cooperation, Labor and Social Welfare of Fars province to overcome the challenges and problems of teamwork evasion.

Purpose: The Purpose of this paper is to explain the nature and process of digital transformation.Methodology: Its methodology is based on a structured literature review (SLR) and searching scientific sites and specialized resources. One roadmap model, six maturity assessment models, three digital business model transformation approaches and eight digital transformation frameworks are explained interpretively.Findings: Digital transformation is a strategy and an operating model change, in which technological advancements are leveraged to improve human experiences and operating efficiencies and to evolve the products and services to which customers will remain loyal. A review of research in this field shows that the nature of digital transformation depends on knowledge and knowledge is formed as a valuable asset in people's minds. Therefore, the role of human resources in creating and achieving the transformation is important and fundamental. Findings show that no digital transformation is only technological, it is organizational and requires its own planning, resources and rules. It is clear that we need a model in this kind of transformation journey. Staff capital and its empowerment by knowledge and fundamental requirements are important for success in the digital transformation program. Transformation in culture, in structure, in processes and methods, along with the benefits of the frontier technologies, will lead to a dramatic transformation in the field of business. The environment of organizations is changing faster and has become more volatile, uncertain and complex than in the past. Rapid changes in competition, demand, technology and regulations make it more important than ever for organizations to be able to respond and adapt to their environment. In this context, the pressure on firms to align their business strategy with the technological changes in the environment has significantly increased with the emergence and growing importance of new digital technologies, such as Social Media, Cloud Computing, Big Data and Analytics, Embedded Devices, 3D-Printing, the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence. They are profoundly transforming the strategic context of organizations: changing the structure of competition, the behavior and expectations of customers, the way business is conducted, the way products are manufactured and services are delivered, the way of working and, ultimately, entire industries. The growth of technology, in addition to transforming organizational boundaries, has also improved knowledge sharing. As the results indicate, the digital age refers to a time in history when the use of digital technology was generalized throughout the world. We are on the verge of a technological revolution that will fundamentally change the way we live, work and communicate with each other. In terms of scale, scope, and complexity, this transformation will be different from what mankind has already experienced.Conclusion: Digital transformation has affected the work processes of individuals in organizational environments. New methods in combining digital innovations and intensifying inter-organizational collaboration are among the key features of success. Because the goal of digital transformation is a business transformation, it requires different organizational elements, which are explained in the frameworks, to work together like a piece of music in a concert with different instruments played harmoniously and simultaneously

Advances in information and communication technology (ICT) have accelerated the transformation process of entities from physical to more conceptual formalities. Entering the world of concepts, on the one hand, has transformed the relations between beings, and on the other hand, has facilitated the grounds for fundamental changes in human communication. A twenty-first-century person is a semantic human being who, along with all physical conceptions of the phenomena in his life, has also a virtual and semantic conception in his mind. The semantic embodiment of all phenomena has caused emotions, feelings, interactions, businesses, etc. to become multifaceted phenomena. E-learning, e-commerce, virtual meetings, virtual stores, etc. all represent the emergence of another sphere within the physical world. This world is the world of meanings and concepts. The world of meanings is closely related to content. A human being on the earth without an electronic identity and without the presence in electronic spaces is gradually becoming unthinkable. The advent of cyberspace has more to do with the concept of digitalization. No entity can enter cyberspace without digitization. The first condition for being in cyberspace is to have a virtual alternative. If any books, magazines, persons, schools, universities, governments, associations, and any other entities, is to appear in the virtual world, they must first be digitized. For this reason, digitalization and digital content management is a constant issue in the age of knowledge. In this article, which was specifically written on the occasion of the first issue of the International Journal of Digital Content Management (IJDCM), an attempt has been made to elaborate on the evolution of digital content and to provide a framework for content management in the knowledge. The key concepts mentioned in the article are also meant as indicators of the content orientation of the journal.
