      Errors and failures are inevitable in organizations, and lately, there has been an increasing need in understanding and learning from organizational errors. The main purpose of this study is Structural analysis of the effect of learning from organizational error and failure on innovative human resource performance: The mediating role of organizational ambidexterity in the employees of the South Zagros Oil and Gas Exploitation Company. This study in terms of purpose, practical and in terms of data collection is a descriptive correlational research. The statistical population of the study includes all experts and employees of the South Zagros Oil and Gas Exploitation Company with 255 people, who are considered as a limited population and all of them have been studied by census method. Standard questionnaires with validity and reliability were used to collect research data. Finally, 248 completed questionnaires were collected and used as the basis for analysis. The results of structural equation testing using PLS 3 software showed that learning from organizational errors does not have a direct and significant effect on innovative performance, but due to the organizational ambidexterity, promotes innovative performance in the organization. In other words, organizational ambidexterity as a mediating variable plays the role of facilitator and complete mediator in the relationship between learning from organizational errors and innovative performance in the organization. The results also confirm the positive and significant effect of learning from organizational errors on organizational ambidexterity, and organizational ambidexterity on innovative performance.

      Social innovation, as a new and interdisciplinary concept that is less than a decade old, has been able to attract the attention of politicians and statesmen to academics. In the meantime, many categories and formulations have been made with different approaches, each of them seeking their goals and implementing their policies in the society in the form of a discourse. In spite of the different and sometimes contradictory formulations, its ideal goal, regardless of different discourses, is to reduce the existing gaps between the classes, which have been created by the implementation of inappropriate socio-economic policies, which will ultimately end in a civil society with a middle class. The most important goal of this article is to build the concept of social innovation and then to explain it in the form of existing three discourses (government, entrepreneurship and academic) and finally to apply the entrepreneurship discourse (with a view to the point that in the conditions of our country, the only possibility of creating and reproducing society and ultimately innovation and breaking out of the existing conditions is the strengthening of the middle class) in the "narrative of existing events" method. Based on this, while categorizing and evaluating entrepreneurial actions, we have explained and drawn its practical type in the existing conditions of the society Manuscript profile

      The path of modernization and growth of industrial technologies passes through the historical developments of countries, and in this sense, industrial growth is a complex process in which many factors play a role in its realization. Based on the historical experiences of societies, various theories have been presented regarding industrial development and growth that may emphasize aspects of this phenomenon. This research is based on the research project of Boras and Landvall, comparing the government functions and the historical experience of Iran, regarding the creation of the ball casting and metal melting industry and industrial modernization at the beginning of the 19th century with similar experiences of Cannon, Gun and Butter in two historical periods in England and Denmark and then examines the technology policy of these countries in the form of innovation system theories. The main question is that despite the factors of the innovation system in Iran's industrial modernization experience at the beginning of the 19th century and government measures in this regard, why did the industrial modernization program of Iran not succeed? This research is historical comparative in terms of development goal and in terms of institutional method, and its data was collected by library method. The results show that the lack of institutional evolution and the formation of a systematic interactive relationship between the elements of innovation caused Iran's industrial modernization program and technology policy did not succeed.
