Purpose: Creative and innovative human resources have a tremendous impact on the survival and improvement of the organization. Management has to pave the way for creativity and innovation. The current research seeks to explain one of the main reasons for the problem of creativity and innovation in Iran's big-size state-owned enterprises with the help of a metaphor (here, Procrustes' bed metaphor).Methodology: This research has been done descriptively. A questionnaire containing six questions with a Likert scale was designed to investigate the current situation using the help of human resources experts and the Delphi method. Questionnaires were distributed among experts and experts in charge of five big-size state-owned companies, and finally, 124 questionnaires were analyzed descriptively.Findings: The research findings show that the Procrustes bed has become a company desk in Iran's state-owned enterprises. The freedom of action to present creative and innovative ideas, the possibility of implementing innovative ideas, welcoming new ideas, supportive management, offering rewards to new ideas, and overall satisfaction with the current state are unfavourable.Originality/Value: Following the social sciences and especially structuring and problem-solving approaches, we believe that knowing the problem is the first and most crucial step in solving a problem. Based on this, we introduced Procrustes' bed metaphor in this research to understand the existing situation.

Purpose: This study aims to explain the factors affecting the performance of businesses located in the Science and Technology Park. Therefore, by understanding this issue through Interpretive-Structural Analysis (ISA), this research seeks to design a model based on the classification and segregation of factors affecting the performance of companies located in the Science and Technology Park.Methodology: The present research is applied in terms of purpose, descriptive nature, and survey in the data collection method. The research methodology is a qualitative-quantitative mix in the qualitative part based on identifying factors related to business performance. The work is located in the Science and Technology Park through interviews and content analysis with the participation of 15 experts as panel members, and in a small part through the formation of a structural self-interaction matrix seeks structural and interpretive modelling in which 15 senior managers and experts from science and technology parks participated.Findings: The results show that the most important factors affecting the performance of companies in the science and technology park are creativity, effectiveness, and work interactions, which were effective indicators in the thematic analysis results.Originality/Value: The most effective factors in the performance of companies located in the Science and Technology Park are the factors of job satisfaction, job freshness, and job trust and profession.
