Despite technology collaboration is a key source of organizational innovation and competitiveness, many technology collaboration projects are failed each year. We can consider various risks for each technology collaboration but we can increase the probability of project success by identification, assessment and management of these risks. This article tries to response this question what the risks of technology collaboration in hi-tech projects of biotechnology and how much their probability and severity are. To respond this question, some technology collaboration projects in biotechnology sector were selected and the risks were identified. Then their severity, probability and detectability were assessed by appropriate method. In this article, 46 risks of technology collaboration projects in four dimensions-personal, interpersonal, environmental and organizational- were classified. Ten risks were selected as the risks with higher RPN. According to this prioritization and research findings, some suggestions were presented to increase the probability of technology collaboration project success.

Production system movement from industrial to infrastructural make to increase production firms capabilities in offer products with low price, up quality and flexibility, and suitable delivery. Products with suitable product competitive capabilities peer result to increase performance level of firms. In this paper surveyed could these cometetive capabilities build under one joint construct, and how relation exit between advanced manufacturing thechnology with production cometetive capabilities and performance.in this survey used from conformity factor analysis and then structural equation modeling. Results show positive signtifacant relationship exit between production thechnology, production cometetive capabilities and performance. Then, present discussion and conclusion, and finally, express limitations and purposes.

Complex Products and Systems (CoPS) play an important role in the economic activities of firms, industries and nations and today increasing attention is focused on this industry. However, producing these types of products have always been associated with complexities and uncertainities and firms are not able to produce them without collaboration. Though, technological collaboration is an inseparable part of producing CoPS. This paper first review the literature of complex products and systems, then it studies the different mechanisms of technology transfer and discuss models and factors proposed in the literature for selection of appropriate mechanism of technology transfer. Then, according to the results of studyied indicators, interviews and comparative studies, technology transfer models were identified and ranked by combining AHP and TOPSIS after distributing questionnaires. For this purpose this paper uses questionnair to rank technology transfer mechanisms appropriate to the company using combined approach of AHP and TOPSIS. Findings of this study show that merger, license, outsourcing and consortium are the most appropriate mechanism of technology transfer for this company.

Knowledge Management in an oranization needs a set of changes in different levels of firms; hence, Change Management has an important role for its success. This paper studies implementing knowledge management, as a new change, in the organization by emphasizing the cultural aspects in knowledge sharing. This research, first identified cultural factors in knowledge sharing, and then, used an experimental way in order to evaluate them in implementation successful knowledge management. For experimental part, a questionnaire is applied in Iranian Research Organization in Science and Technology. Five factors have been identified and studied as the cultural factors affecting knowledge sharing as, trust, commitment, job satisfaction, learning, and organizational communication. The results show that facing the resistance of people, the implementation of knowledge management will occur with a lot of resistance from the people. Therefore, the evaluation of cultural factors in this research doesnt appear in very good level. Although the organizations’s employees appreciate this change, but cultural evaluation shows that there is not adequate preparation in terms of cultural aspects in the organization.
