Certainly one of the main reasons for fast growth of technology development indeveloped countries ispaying attention to commercialization process of internal researches’ results. It can be concluded that the basis of commercialization process is the cooperation of research and industrial divisions in conversionof researches’ results into innovations and developing new products. In this survey, it hasbeen tried to study the impact of resources and environmental variables in commercialization of new product development, specially study the impact of variables like “dominant design”, “increase in heterogeny of market” and “network’s side effect” as the Research Hypotheses in Iranian National Center of Laser Science and Technology. This survey has an applied objective and is descriptive-survey in nature. After reviewing the literature through library research, a researcher-made questionnaire was applied in order to test the research hypotheses. The validity and reliability of questionnaire was reviewed using the content and construct related validities and “Cronbach’s alpha” respectively. “Bivariate linear regression” and “structural equation modeling” were used as the inferential statistics methodology. Findings implied that “dominant design”, “acquire technology attitude” and “increase in heterogeny of market” have significant effects on commercialization of new product in Iranian National Center of Laser Science and Technology; Whereas “the company’s resources” and “network’s side effect” do not have any significant effect on commercialization of new product in this center.

There is an institutionalized connection between industry and university in developed countries. However, in Iran, despite the great emphasis on establishing and strengthening connections between defense industries and universities, there is no specific process to build an effective collaboration, and the current policies are not highly sufficient for existing needs. The main reason is lack of proper identification of critical success factors in industry-university collaboration. So, the main purpose of this article is to identify the critical success factors of defense industry and university collaboration. In this regard, 19 critical success factors are identified and extracted in four dimensions as Interactions design, knowledge, social, and collaboration success by literature review through which the research model and hypotheses are proposed consequently. A questionnaire is designed to collect the experts’ opinions. The four dimensions and their factors are measured through frequency tables, mean and standard deviation. In addition, effectiveness of each factor on the collaboration is determined through one sample test. Also, another questionnaire (including 36 items) is designed and distributed among users, and its questions are assessed and confirmed via Conformity Factor Analysis. Then, effectiveness of all success factors is verified by path analysis, and the research model and hypothesis are confirmed through the findings resulted from structural equation modeling. Finally, some solutions and practical suggestions are made to improve and enhance the collaborations between university and defense industries.

With the increasing complexity of products and the necessity for development, today’s products, processes and also the relevant technologies, are planned, designed and finally manufactured with the participation of suppliers in the wide range of the corporation’s supply chain. The lack of attention of corporations to the technological capabilities of the supply chain has made them to experience different problems for implementing the product development strategies as well as process. This paper tries to design an integrated model for formulation of strategy of technology for product in the supply chain according to the technological capabilities of its suppliers. The research is conducted with the qualitative approach in two stages. First of all, after literature review and studying the documentation of automotive companies, the preliminary data is gathered through in depth interviews with the panel of experts of Iranian automotive industry and then the collected data is analyzed by using the Theme methodology. So, based on the identified themes and exploring the relations between them, a conceptual model is designed. At the second phase, the validity and reliability of the designed model, are studied and confirmed using the methodology of focus group with a number of other panel of experts of the industry. The designed model makes it possible for corporations to codify the strategy of technology with the participation of supply chain, seamlessly.

Competition and maintaining the competitive position in the current complex market situation, require the selection of an appropriate strategy to advance the goals and knowledge of the capabilities and capacities within the organization. Evaluation of Organizational Preparation is a good approach toreconnoiter the current level of organization’s capabilities in order to design and implement strategies. Technology and technology development strategies are important factors for promoting organization goals. To implement the technology development strategies successfully, being aware of the organization’s internal capabilities helps the managers to notice technology development opportunities more, and lead the organization to the growth direction and achieving competitive advantage. This research is descriptive – analytical and functional if we consider its aim. Data collection was done by reviewing existed literature, interviews with experts and scholars and questionnaires. Then data were analyzed through interpretive – structural modeling(ISM) technique and DEMATEL then the relation and sequence of dimensions and criteria were obtained. Finally the Integrated Model of ISM- DEMATEL was extracted.

Nowadays innovation is regarded as one of the main merits for the liveliness of educational organizations, especially universities. The present research is carried out for examining the differences in various universities of Iran respecting organizational innovation and the impact of structure and culture. Accordingly Iran’s universities categorized into four main groups; Islamic Azad University, Payam-e Noor, Comprehensive Scientific-Applied University and state universities. The statistical population for this research is comprised of managers and employees of central organization of these universities. Conceptual model and research hypotheses were shaped by studying related literature. Data collection, hypothesis and model testing were done via questionnaire tool and structural equation model. In Scientific-Applied University, meaningful relation was witnessed between innovation-culture and innovation-structure; and in University of Tehran, there was a positive and meaningful relationship between culture and innovation. In Islamic Azad University, a meaningful relationship existed only between culture and innovation. Through executing structural equations modeling, the impact of Latent variables (structure) on introvert Latent variables (culture and innovation) were examined which it results show that the structure does not affect innovation in central organization of these universities directly. But meaningful impact of structure on culture and on the other hand the very meaningful impact of culture on organizational innovation lead to this conclusion that organizational structure can be influential via affecting the culture.

The transfer of technology, the possibility of access and acquiring the technology provides its effective application to economic and technological growth of industry, improve the quality of the work and when an organization is in its integrated and systematic model fits with technology maturity levels exist to right technology to be identified convert and work. The purpose of this article is identifying the factors affecting the transfer of technology from research and developing the industry sector in defense industries and providing a native model for it. For this purpose, after surveying the literature of the subject and the current models and technology transfer with industry experts, the factors affecting the sixth strategic dimension, the transferor, receiver technology results and achievements and the method of the transfer category. It continued on with the use of an interview and poll of 10 people from the experts and also by distribution of a questionnaire among 40 experts and the implementation of T-Test, the effect of these factors on the transfer of technology in the defense industry. Finally, with respect to known factors based on interviews with the subject, the final and native model of this research was designed. Based on the results, the transfer of technology from the beginning of a project’s feasibility phase should be considered. Moreover, the continuation of the cooperation with the recipient to the transferor to promoting level of elements should be emphasized. Using this model can transfer technology research project success and it is an important aid.
