In this research, all statements related to the topic of education were examined using the official website of the Supreme Leader. A total of 188 documents—including speeches, messages, news items, and excerpts of statements—from the beginning of his leadership until the end of autumn 2023 were analyzed using thematic content analysis.<br /><br />The research findings were categorized into 3 overarching themes, 16 organizing categories, and 43 basic codes:<br /><br />1. Goals and Status of Education (comprising 4 categories)<br /><br />2. Major Issues in the Education System (comprising 8 categories)<br /><br />3. General Strategic Directions of Education (comprising 4 categories)<br /><br />The analysis of these themes indicates that, from the perspective of the Supreme Leader, the educational system must be founded on Islamic principles, the nurturing of committed and capable human resources, intellectual and scientific independence, and resistance against imported models. This paper proposes a strategic model offering a framework for educational policymaking based on the discourse of the Islamic Revolution.https://rmg.isu.ac.ir/article_77787_ea43f23063639cac370a1ddc98841851.pdfImam Sadiq UniversityReligion, Management, & Governance3115-77183220250701Analyzing the Causes and Impacts of Automotive Production Growth under the 13th Administration of the Islamic Republic of Iran with Emphasis on the Dimensions of the Resistance Economy using the system dynamics method.41577778810.30497/rmg.2025.77788ENEbrahimShojaatشهرک غرب، خیابان شهید شریفی، کوچه شهید بخشی، اقامتگاه دانشجویی دانشگاه امام صادق علیه السلام0009-0009-9277-249XJournal Article20250715Abstract “This article examines the reasons for and effects of the growth in automobile production during the Thirteenth Government of Iran, with an emphasis on the dimensions of the Resistance Economy. The Iranian automotive industry witnessed a significant increase in the production of passenger cars and commercial vehicles during this period, stemming from overcoming the production shortage crisis. This research identifies the factors influencing this growth by using official statistics and analyzing economic policies. The results indicate that an inward-looking approach to production, the development of cooperation with aligned countries in the supply of parts and technology, and a focus on developing new products have played a key role in improving the situation of the automotive industry. These factors, within the framework of the principles of the Resistance Economy, have led to a reduction in dependence on foreign countries, strengthening domestic production, and increasing the competitiveness of the automotive industry, and can be used as a model for other industries as well.”https://rmg.isu.ac.ir/article_77788_262d9573bcf8886a448d72e440275f3b.pdfImam Sadiq UniversityReligion, Management, & Governance3115-77183220250701Investigation and Evaluation of Islamic Financing Instruments for Knowledge-Based Enterprises; Evidence from Iran Capital Market59747778910.30497/rmg.2025.248361.1029ENPouriaSarrafinezhadDepartment of Finance, Faculty of Islamic Studies and Management, Imam Sadiq University, Tehran, Iran0009-0007-7656-2666AliElmiDepartment of Finance, Tehran Institute for Advanced Studies (TeIAS), Khatam University, Tehran, IranJournal Article20250525<strong>Subject:</strong> One of the key infrastructures for the growth and development of Knowledge-Based Enterprises (KBEs) is providing financial facilities This study investigates the KBEs financing through Islamic financial instruments.<br /><strong>Methodology:</strong><strong> </strong>In terms of data collection, it takes a descriptive-survey approach. Data required are collected using a structured questionnaire. The statistical population includes KBEs active in Tehran and simple random sampling method was applied to reach final community. The statistical sample consists of 80 specialists and experts in the financial field in knowledge-based companies, and a questionnaire was used to collect data.

For the first time, this research aims to present the capacities of the capital market for financing knowledge-based companies.<br /><strong>Result:</strong><strong> </strong>The results of this research indicate that innovative financing instruments such as sukuk, mortgage bonds, and project fund instruments, saving certificate instruments, deposit certificate instruments and bonds play a positive role on the financial provision of KBEs.https://rmg.isu.ac.ir/article_77789_0d5cb52863505b5a32863292b1f990e4.pdfImam Sadiq UniversityReligion, Management, & Governance3115-77183220250701Implications of the Thought of Martyr Sayyid Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr for Participatory Governance: With an Emphasis on the Theory of Human Vicegerency751027779010.30497/rmg.2025.77790ENMohammadJannesariStrategic Management, University of Tehran0009-0003-1806-7297Mohamad HosseinOmidvarMaster's student, Department of Islamic Studies and Public Administration,Imam Sadiq University0009-0001-0254-5579MahdiHeidari EshkejanpahlooMaster's student in Islamic Studies and Public Administration, Department of Governance, Faculty of Islamic Studies and Management, Imam Sadiq University (AS), Tehran, Iran.0009-0009-1698-2276Journal Article20250715This paper aims to elucidate the implications of the thought of Martyr Sayyid Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr for participatory governance, with a particular focus on his theory of collective human vicegerency. According to this theory, the stewardship of worldly affairs has been entrusted by God to the human community as a divine trust. Hence, maximum public participation in societal administration is regarded not merely as a right, but as a religious obligation.<br />The research methodology is based on interpretive analysis of al-Sadr's works, specifically employing a thematic approach to identify key concepts such as decentralization of authority, social justice, and collective responsibility. The findings indicate that, in al-Sadr’s thought, popular governance is a structural process grounded in two main pillars: the liberation of human potential and the guarantee of continuous movement toward divine values.<br />The theory of collective vicegerency attributes political legitimacy to the fulfillment of divine trusteeship and the active participation of the people through mechanisms such as consultative councils (Shora), public oversight, and the integration of religious jurisprudence with collective rationality. This model stands in contrast to Western democracies, where legitimacy is derived solely from the will of the majority.<br />The most significant challenges to participatory governance include economic inequality, individual moral weaknesses, and the complexity of modern institutional systems. Proposed strategies include the cultivation of responsible individuals, institutionalization of accountability, development of citizen-centered technologies, dismantling of monopolies, and mobilization of individual interests within a framework of collective justice.<br />In conclusion, participatory governance in this framework not only fosters social justice, but also serves as a manifestation of collective vicegerency, providing a path toward proximity to absolute divine values.https://rmg.isu.ac.ir/article_77790_f10266aadc417903d105616ff8c8c76c.pdfImam Sadiq UniversityReligion, Management, & Governance3115-77183220250701Designing an Ethical Framework for Using Gamification In Designing Educational Games Based on Analysis of Several Selected Management Games1031167779110.30497/rmg.2025.248419.1030ENMohammadDehghan TerezjaniM.A. Student in Management, Faculty of Management, Imam Sadiq University, Tehran, Iran0009-0007-7435-3190MohammadNorouziAssistant Professor, Department of Production, Faculty of Management, [University Name], Iran0000-0003-2698-8865Journal Article20250602Gamification has emerged as a innovative pedagogical tool, increasingly recognized for its potential to advance educational objectives. However, like all tools, it may entail ethical considerations or unintended dysfunctional outcomes. This study aims to develop an ethical framework for applying gamification in the design of managerial educational games.Through the analysis of selected management games and expert insights, we propose a three-layered framework. This model evaluates games across three design dimensions (form, rules, and content) and categorizes them into three ethical states: ethics-promoting, ethically neutral, or unethical-promoting. Five managerial games—Monopoly, Risk, Catan, Jaliz, and Twilight Struggle—were analyzed using this framework to delineate their ethical standing.Findings indicate that these games comply with legal and religious principles, rendering them suitable for educational settings. However, certain aspects related to social values and player interactions require targeted supervision to prevent behaviors misaligned with cultural norms. Collectively, these results underscore the necessity of integrating ethical considerations into gamification processes.The proposed framework serves as a valuable tool for future educational game design, guiding developers to embed ethical principles in a game’s form, rules, and content. By doing so, it fosters greater alignment between gamified learning tools and societal ethical-cultural values.https://rmg.isu.ac.ir/article_77791_f919a99cad00197e2538dd766b77e39c.pdfImam Sadiq UniversityReligion, Management, & Governance3115-77183220250701Anticipatory Governance: Analysis of Concept, Position, and Implications1171337779210.30497/rmg.2025.248296.1027ENMohammad JavadGhasemian NickPhD Student of Future Studies, Faculty of Islamic Studies and Management, Imam Sadiq University, Tehran, Iran - Researcher, Institute for Security and Progress StudiesJournal Article20250518This paper explores the concept of Anticipatory Governanceas a new model of governance. The analysis defines governance as a broad, interdisciplinary guiding activity that engages multiple stakeholders beyond traditional governance and defines foresight as a systematic process of envisioning alternative futures in order to inform current actions to build desired futures. Predictive governance, as a combination of these concepts, is presented as a proactive and forward-looking decision-making approach that continuously examines potential changes. The analysis positions Anticipatory Governanceas a distinct model that moves beyond reactive and some traditional proactive approaches by embracing uncertainty and focusing on long-term challenges. Key components discussed include foresight, networked systems, feedback loops, capacity building, policy integration, partnerships, data/technology use and monitoring experiments. These concepts highlight potential benefits such as improved policymaking and navigating complexity, alongside challenges such as short-termism and data governance issues. Therefore, this paper attempts to briefly explore this concept using a descriptive analytical method.https://rmg.isu.ac.ir/article_77792_9ccb504617fe804f578bbe82d0d81882.pdf
