Expert human power is the most important capital of any knowledge-based organization. What is the apex of the Tanin Peak sabalan (Beta Sports Balls) is the presence of a powerful and expert manpower, based on market needs, in a knowledge-based and friendly environment, seeking to provide the best solutions, products and services to customers.

Q: Because in today’s world productivity is synonymous with progress, what are your company policies to increase productivity in your production?
We think efforts to improve and benefit from various sources such as labor, materials, energy and information are the goal of all economic managers and industrial production units and service providers. The existence of an appropriate organizational structure, efficient practices, healthy equipment and tools, a suitable work space, and above all, qualified human resources are among the basic requirements that should be presented to managers in order to achieve optimal productivity. Employee participation in targeted efforts and discipline can affect productivity. The spirit of the culture of productivity improvement should be institutionalized and the promotion of productivity should be considered as a combination of different factors. Improving productivity requires comprehensive and planned efforts by individuals and authorities that need to improve working conditions and change employee incentives, improve systems, rules, guidelines, procedures, and so on. Here are some of the important things that have been considered to improve our company’s productivity:
-High quality work life
-Ability to learn and use new skills
– Creating social cohesion in the organization
– Provide opportunities for employee growth and improvement
– Individual rights maintenance
– Balance in the division of work and Rest time
– Create experiences and organizational pride
– Establish a proper payment system based on performance and create a system of encouragement and punishment
-Improvement the systems and methods that play a vital role
– An attempt to use employee feedback on decision making and plotting goals and plans
Q: Due to the lack of attention to the importance of the sports industry in Iran, what is your opinion about the industry in the country?
sport in the twenty-first century has faced numerous demands and limitations, and has provided the groundwork for business development by creating demand for sporting goods and creating attractiveness for communities. Therefore, the production of sports equipment and services and the provision of sports services have helped to boost economic activity and improve the development of sports. Exercise plays a role as a commodity or product in the economic system of the community. The ever-increasing demand from countries for the purchase of quality equipment and equipment has led international companies in the field of the production and trading of goods, equipment, and sports equipment. Nationality in many countries.
The fact that the engine industry is the driving force behind production and economic development, among which the sport industry as a thriving and rich industry has become active in the field of economic exchanges. The sports industry is one of the largest and fastest growing industries in the world, with several hundred billion dollars being the annual financial exchanges of the industry. In some countries, there are two larger than automotive industry and seven times the size of the cinema industry in the sports industry. The gross annual income of the sports industry in the world in the sectors of production and consumption of goods and services is estimated at over $ 350 billion a year, accounting for more than three percent of the global economy.
So business and sports are explicitly partnered. They shape each other and form a pattern of co-operation that supports their bilateral development. Increasing production and revenue is at the forefront of the economic programs of different countries, and achieving this requires the recognition of the value of production of various sectors of the economy. Meanwhile, the process of globalization and the expansion of consumer markets, as well as increasing the number of rivals and the intensity of competition, has given importance to concepts such as competitiveness. Many factors in our country have led many industries to not easily compete with other similar products in such a way as to affect the increasing competitiveness of companies and firms in the market.
These include quality, cost, capital, know-how, technology and the absence of tangible supportive laws in the industry. Hence, producers of products and equipment through the production, creation and exchange of products and values with others, as well as the production of quality products, can provide the competitive environment with the most benefit to them; in other words, It can be said that investing in the production of sports products and sports services, on the one hand, creates employment and, on the other hand, adds to GDP.
This will boost economic and social prosperity. However, sport Goods makers face many challenges and obstacles in the business and the environment. Failure to support the government in a variety of ways, such as the lack of allocation of suitable facilities for the development of production, high prices of raw materials and the low supply of raw materials in the market, increased energy costs, especially after targeting subsidies that raise the price Products; and preventing unnecessary entry of non-quality external goods, including these barriers.
Q: We have to admit that our country has not made any significant progress, despite all the efforts that have been made to expand entrepreneurship over the last few years, from establishing institutions and associations to the inclusion of educational programs in schools and universities. What are your suggestions for improving and removing barriers to entrepreneurship development in the country?
Considering the importance of the subject you mentioned, the following is recommended to improve the entrepreneurship environment in the country: 1) Improve of bank rules and regulations, such as reducing the requirements and steps for providing bank facilities with a suitable bank interest rate for emerging and emerging companies.2) Modifying and reviewing the labor law with the entrepreneurial approach and firm sustainability (neither the working class approach nor the employer-class approach)3) Modifying the rules of trade, export and import with the entrepreneurial approach4) Reduce administrative bureaucracy in government agencies and institutions, such as municipalities, the environment, corporate registries, etc., which are dedicated to issuing legal licenses for entrepreneurs and business owners. 5) Development of office automation in organizations and government agencies to facilitate and eliminate unnecessary administrative processes.6) Entrepreneurship training at elementary, secondary, high school and college level7) Development of independent investment funds at the national and provincial level with the support of government agencies and the use of financial resources for retirement and social security institutions
8) Development of entrepreneurship culture through the production and production of documentary, cinematic, cartoon about the biography and success of Iranian entrepreneurs and innovators. 9) Replacing system thinking and systematic attitude rather than individual-centered thinking
Q: Work culture among scholars has always been considered as the greatest prerequisite for comprehensive development, so what is your opinion about the culture of work in Iran? To accelerate the movement towards economic flourishing, supporting a positive and desirable work culture is needed. Therefore, the state of work culture must be transformed by intervening with well-known factors of work culture and trends, insights and knowledge necessary for work in society and organizations. It is recommended that we use internal and external values to develop and enhance the work culture. Indeed, in spite of some ideas in the community, they have not yet taken action to enforce them.
The experience of successful organizations in the other countries shows that, despite environmental factors, there are many positive developments in the organizations, and these developments can be the basis for broad advances across the entire society. The culture of work provides useful and effective use of human and material resources and has beneficial effects in terms of productivity and gaining competitive advantage.
Q: What are your environmental protection measures, given the importance of the environmental issue? Tanin Peak Sabalan Co is one of the greenest sport Goods producers. At the same time, we strive for a culture of environmental responsibility and practical measures such as strengthening conservation of resources and energy and the presence and support of conferences, symposiums, etc., and helping to protect the environment, the country’s living and sustainable development.
