Purpose: With the research on the country's mega projects, one of the main failure factors in their project management can be sought. Modern aircraft design and construction projects are complex projects known as megaprojects. This research presents a model for managing complex megaprojects in this industry.Methodology: This research is a type of combined research (qualitative-quantitative), and for this purpose, while interviewing aviation experts, the features of aerial mega projects are identified and coded by MAXQDA2020 software, and then the indicators identified in a questionnaire from experts related to the project. Using SMARTPLS3 software, classification and ranking of components and indicators were performed.Findings: In this regard, the designed model has two dimensions, features and management of the megaproject, and 10 main components and 40 indicators were classified and ranked. Finally, the most crucial main component was strategy management.Originality/Value: In this study, considering the importance of aerial projects and the fact that the country has moved towards the design and construction of native birds and several projects in this field have been defined and completed, the characteristics of complex mega projects in the aircraft design and construction industry are determined, and has designed an appropriate model for evaluating the management of complex megaprojects in the aircraft design and construction industry for the first time.

Purpose: The primary purpose of this manuscript is to present the knowledge management strategy compilation model based on Business strategy.Methodology: This research uses quantitative and qualitative methods to extract the key components of the organization's knowledge strategy from descriptive and analytical (qualitative) methods. Quantitative and statistical methods will be used to validate the model.Findings: The research results showed that to develop a knowledge strategy model since knowledge management processes are carried out in the organization's context, they are under the influence of the organization's background. The organization field includes 1) knowledge management enablers such as organizational factors (such as structure and culture) and technology, and 2) knowledge management drivers such as business strategy and intellectual resources of the organization. Also, knowledge and learning should support the organization's business strategy.Originality/Value: The focus of knowledge management so far is more on knowledge enablers, such as Creating a suitable cultural structure for the creation and sharing of knowledge or the development of technologies to facilitate these matters, and much less emphasis on the drivers of knowledge management such as; the mission and strategy of the organization has been realized, which makes knowledge management, although it works very well in its defined area, ultimately does not have a favorable effect on the performance of the organization. This research aims to design a model to develop a knowledge strategy and establish the correct relationship between knowledge strategy and business strategy. Then, the validation of the model will be done by obtaining experts' opinions.

Therefore, the purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between financial helplessness and audit fees. It also examines the effect of firm size in this regard. The bigger or smaller the companies are, they can be influential in this regard.Methodology: Multivariate linear regression was used to test the two hypotheses of this research. The statistical population was 130 companies admitted to the Tehran Stock Exchange during 2013-2022 (1300 observations per year). Altman's model [1] has been used to measure financial helplessness.Findings: The results of the research indicate the existence of a negative and significant relationship between financial distress and audit fees. The results showed that firm size can moderate the relationship between financial distress and audit fees. The results of additional tests exhibit that the difference between the size of the firm, that is, large and small and medium, has a significant difference in this regard.Originality/Value: When companies are in financial trouble, they pressure auditors to reduce their fees. This research achievement can convey essential knowledge to the users of financial statements and auditors.
