Designing a Technology Innovation Hub Pattern Using Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) Approach

The Innovation Hub is a unique research and innovation ecosystem. It is a global environment that attracts high quality academic members, researchers, students, innovators and entrepreneurs. Innovation Hub as essential components of knowledge-based economic and social development in the innovation ecosystem have been expanding in recent years and have been considered by science and technology policymakers in countries during the growth mechanisms of technology businesses. For the growth of technological innovations in developing countries, it is necessary to have a deeper knowledge and understanding of the processes of innovation development structures in order to achieve the desired effectiveness in implementation and modeling, so the present study seeks to aim at the Technology Innovation Hub model How is that. In this study, a qualitative and quantitative mixed method was used. Researchers after library studies and interviews with experts identified key factors in creating the innovation hub, which included six dimensions of network and social interaction, infrastructure and resources, the existence of innovative and knowledge-based companies, institutional factors and team and structure. In this study, using Interpretive Structural Modeling ISM method, the factors affecting the creation of the Technology Innovation Hub were superficially prioritized and the relationships between the factors were calculated. The management team factor and the structure with high degree of permeability and low dependence have had the greatest impact on the relationships between the factors that create the hub of innovation.
