A study of the major research problems and obstacles and presenting proper procedures for them in Islamic azad uuniversity in Abhar
Abstract
Research is a acientific method of finding solutions to problems and creating knowledge. A society in which scientific belief has become a common culture, seeks scientific solutions to solve a problem. The researcher discusses three main issues in this regard: A- Studying the research condition, research and development. B- Realizing the scientific educational difficulties due to official_regulations C- Presenting general procedures to remove the obstacles out of the way of research at Abhar Islamic Azad University. The variables under investigation are official, executive, legal, statistical-informational, cultural, structural and scientific-educational obstacles. This research is applied-descriptive.Through internet and available sources, the most recent documents, studies and obstacles are collected.The statistical population included researchers and professors at Abhar Islamic Azad University. The data were collected through two researcher made questionnaires. The analyses of data, inferential and descriptive statistics were used with the help of SPSS and EXCEL softwares. The results showed that low and weak performances of the managers and research officials' attitudes lead to low level of demand for research within the universities. The other factor is the lack of optimal utility of research funds along with the educational system which due to weakness is not able to train researchers.Official executive regulations are so complicated and tiresome and long that decreases or even stops the speed of research project. The study is an attempt to find how these two methods can be compromised to present an integrative solution .This is done by means of proposing an integrative construction on the basis of foundations and diminutions of both theories.It also tries to have an access to a new construction of Extended Enterprise by concentrating on the concepts of each theory instead of focusing on merely practical aspects of them. In order to improve the concept of methods of Extended Enterprise, Supply chain management and Theory of Constraints,extensive library studies and interviews with experts have been done and it has helped the formation of the primary results.On the basis of the primary results and Delphi method,a group of experts including teachers,managers,and industrial experts were interviewed. Research hypotheses and probable results were explained on the basis of the information extracted from the studies and interviews.The results were explained on the basis of the form of questionnaires among experts for more comments. On the basis of total views and comments, a closed-answer researcher made questionnaire was prepared and distributed among teachers, high-rank managers, industrial experts, and MA students.The collected data were summarized and analyzed baye means of statistical analysis (Chi square). The results represent aspects of integration of the two methods and make it clear that the integrated method meets the needs of Extended Enterprise.On the basis of this integrated method, and for the construction of Extended Enterprise, some characteristics of organization construct, conceptual pattern of decision processing, decision making tool, characteristics of impressive leadership and organizational culture have been proposed. KeyWords: Production System, Compitition Advantage, Extended Enterprise, Production Management System, Supply Chain Management, Theory of Constraints, Basic Theory and Shortcomings.
