In this era of rapid changes, industries must be flexible and responsive to survive in the market. Achieving this flexibility and responsiveness requires learning from the environment, alongside fostering innovation, creativity, and possibly launching new products. Different learning strategies lead to varying outcomes; thus, this research explores the effects of learning strategies on innovation, creativity, and the performance of new products in small firms.The experience of the 2008 economic crisis in Europe demonstrated that firms' intangible assets, such as employee skills, experience, and knowledge, played a critical role in preventing bankruptcy. This realization led companies to recognize assets such as personnel abilities in learning, creativity, innovation, and the integration of practical knowledge as key sources of competitive advantage. Research has shown that small firms, in addition to their positive impact on economic growth, outperform larger firms in terms of adaptability and creativity. The service portal of the Organization for Iran Small Industries and Industrial Towns reported over 50,000 active small firms by the end of June 2022, underscoring their significance in the country's economy. However, the high failure rate of new products and the limited resources available to small firms make the success of new product development a critical issue.

Modern and new technologies have changed the management view and the methods of problem solving and management of organizations. For effectively managing the organizations at todays changing environment managers should view different global economic, social, political and legal conditions and must pay attention to factors such as developing deformation and communication technologies and changing customers expectations. For with respect to each condition and factor they needs appropriate information to increase their knowledge and decrease their uncertainty to have effective performance. In this way it seems necessary to consider information technologies and total quality management and understand their impact on efficiency and effectiveness.
In this article through citing the relationships between information technology and total quality management we attempt to examine their impact on organizations efficiency and effectiveness. Therefore we study the concepts of effectiveness efficiency and productivity and then point to the relationships between information technology and total quality management and to the impact of these relationships on organizations efficiency and effectiveness. Because, today managers' attitudes and views to quality in firms is new. Production with desired quality requires not only clear definition of goals, specific policies and procedures for each part of work and each stage of process but also real time inspection, measurement and documentation systems.
