Abstract :
In this paper the effectiveness of the contractual and relational role of governmental in achieving strategic innovation through outsourcing of information technology (IT) has been studied. The main purpose of this research is to examine the quality of customer-supplier relationships and the probability of achieving strategic innovation. The research method is descriptive (non-experimental) and correlation research is a type of path analysis. The statistical population of this research is all employees of Qazvin Azad University. According to the size of the statistical population, Morgan table has been used to determine the sample size. 317 employees in Qazvin were selected as research sample. Data gathering was done through library and field surveys by standard questionnaire. The validity of the questionnaire has been used through content validity method. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated for a scale of more than 0.7. The reliability of this desirable scale was evaluated by content reliabality. The results show that both hypotheses have been accepted, indicating that there is a significant relationship between the quality of customer-supplier relationship and strategic innovation with regard to the mediating role of the contractor and the relationship between the governments.
