Nowadays, companies for adapt to changing conditions in the market and against competitors, to provide their survival in turbulent environment and better performance, are seeking to gain competitive advantage. Flexibility is considered as a competitive capability and makes companies respond to unforeseen situations and fast changing environments. The aim of this study is investigating the impact of strategic flexibility on market performance with mediating role of open innovation. In this paper, the external technology acquisition and external technology exploitation is considered as two aspects of open innovation. Current study in terms of purpose is applied and is descriptive-survey. To evaluate the hypothesis of 80 SMEs in the industrial zone of Rasht were examined and data analysis by structural equation modeling based on partial least squares (PLS) was carried out. The results showed that strategic flexibility has significant and positive impact on open innovation and also open innovation has significant and positive impact on market performance.

Today''s the main concern for many manufacturing organizations is that¡ they cannot engaged in an activity that accustomed to it (For example¡ utilization of existing resources and capabilities)¡ and the ability to perform other work on their own (For example¡ the discovery of new opportunities) at the same time. It is difficult to achieve such a transformation¡ and it requires serious attention to building the capacity of ambidexterity in the organization. On the other hand¡ creation¡ growth and success of spin offs (as a form of commercialization) affected by ambidexterity capabilities of the organization. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of ambidexterity in creation¡ growth and success of spin offs. This paper explore the role of capabilities of the spin offs in the field of discovering new opportunities and exploiting existing opportunities¡ in the success of this type of companies. Findings show that the five function of small and medium businesses¡ involved on success of spin offs. These functions include Adopt an ambidextrous leadership style¡ Outsource one of the two functions¡ Attract and retain employees who can both explore and exploit¡ Attract executives who can act as leaders¡ managers¡ and entrepreneurs and Shift resources across projects regardless of whether their goals are to explore or exploit.

This study analyzes the institutional forces affecting the commercialization of academic research achievements and offers nested three-level model, the community level, the University level (the smallest unit of analysis at the level of universities is academic groups) and individual level. The purpose is an applied research and in the way of data collection, is Qualitative research and research method is library method (secondary studies of Meta-Synthesis), based on the study of an area of effective factors with the use of databases is provided. The analysis in this study occurred in three stages: Full review of the research literature, short articles and combined and the final conclusions. This article is the result of institutional change, social (directly) and by changing norms University (indirectly) on the achievement of selected distribution (public access to licensing and commercialization of intellectual property created) affects.

Appropriate evolution of the technological position in the future of industry would be significant for managers for a tailored investment in emerging technologies. The benefits of these evolutions are to make a sustainable competitive advantage and superior position in the industry futures of firms. In the meantime, the technological life cycle as a tool to predict the future of technology, can provide valuable information of appropriate technologies. The information with regard to environmental changes and natural limitations can make a bright future for technological orientation of the firms. Since the use of the technological life cycle model to predict the position of technology in the future is often faced with difficulty, it cannot accurately predict and quantify the state of the technology life. Therefore, in this paper we have tried to use Hype Cycle’ Gartner Research institute in order to cover the limitation of technological life cycle and by using a combination of the above method, a model of identifying the best technology will be offered. The Hype Cycle will introduce the transition of new technologies from beginning to rise and fall and the actual position of technology. In this paper technology of 3D printing will be discussed using hype cycle.

Science creation is known as the main base of knowledge development and initiates creating jobs, technology and wealth in the society. One other considerable subject in the world of science and technology is innovation and invention in the mentioned field. Today, the bibliographic data of patents, are known as the most important data resources, in technical and technological fields. Valuable information are given to managers and researchers from patent data analysis which are applicable in different level of organization and research units such as policy support, infrastructure and implementation of research . Since this analysis, has a significant effect on optimized decision-making process, for managers, in the technology transfer and related applications, in this paper, the status of the three indicators of technology life cycle and consequently the cost of patent analysis and application software Logletlab2 and function as well as logistic growth, target market (automotive industry of Iran), to enhance the organization's decision-making power and gain competitive advantage, market share and increase bargaining power in negotiating technology transfer businesses without cost and in the shortest possible time, a model for ranking method AHP, for the three types of technology brake system (ABS, EBA & EBD) is presented.Consequently, the rating of the first rank, ABS, EBD second and third EBA indicated that due to the high risk of investing in emerging technologies, research and development of less interest to the automotive market in Iran.

In recent decades, dramatic intensity and speed of technological progress, shape our world has changed. Whatever the role of technology is highlighted, Managers more pressure will fall to use technology to achieve better results and competitive strength. One of the factors in the development of any country is flourishing technology-based firms. In order to develop technology-based firms should always be factors that lead to improve their performance. In this context, technology-based firms highly require dynamic capabilities in order to confirm prominence in competition and improve the performance. Because the main axis oriented technology companies, based on technology that is consistently increasing rate of change is high. Because the main axis oriented technology companies, based on technology that is consistently increasing rate of change is high. On the other hand, gain superior performance depends to the ability of company in integration with its partners in the supply chain. Thus in this article tried through the theoretical foundations, the role of supplier integration capability as a dynamic capability which consists of three subsidiary and complementary capabilities sensing, seizing and integration transforming are, on performance be investigated. Studies showed that technology-based firms can focus and investment on sensing, seizing and integration transforming, to achieve superior performance.
