University and Industry are the most important and influent institutions in social, political and cultural development and society’s economic and technological improvements. The improvement in the relationship between science and technology, the integration of science and industry, the appearance of industries based on science, the use of science as a means to generate competitive advantages on the part of the firms, as well as the globalization of the economy and internationalization of technology, are some of the reasons which justify cooperative relationships between firms and research organizations. Developing relations between Industry and University by cause and positive effect on technological, economic and social changes and transformations was noticed by strategists, politicians and university and industry planners, and was more effort toward creating an effective linkage between university and industry. The 21st century is the century of knowledge-based international economic competition. Industry without online knowledge will surely die and knowledge without applying in industrial operation is not valueless, necessitating the connection between Industry and University. The present paper aims to review the existed theories and models of relationship between Industry, University and other influential institutions in knowledge-based economy. In this study, we reviewed “Triple Helix models TH1, TH2, TH3” (Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff), Quadruple Helix (Carayannis and Campbell), “Quintuple Helix” (Carayannis and Campbell), and represented and reviewed the “Islamic Republic of Iran’s’ Regional Quintuple Helix” (Samadi Miarkolaei), and “N-Tuple of Helices” between Industry and University (Leydesdorff), followed by presenting some suggestions to improve relations between Industry and University.

According to many economists, since the multinational enterprises entering the host economy have relatively more modern technologies than domestic firms, developing countries can reduce their technological gap through FDI inflow channel. It should be noted that the technology spillover of foreign investors is a function of domestic capacity for absorbing these technological spillovers. Considering the determining role of industry sector in the world economy, the goal of present study is to investigate the spillover effects of foreign investment from technological perspective, on the performance of industry sector of Iran during 1995-2009 years, in form of development plans. The results of the study show that during the second development plan a considerable correlation did not exist among improving the human capital (as the absorption capacity criteria), absorbing the foreign investment, spillover effects, and the industry sector performance. While in the third development plan, the mentioned correlations were significant. The reasons for the above mentioned significant correlations are as follows: policy requirements of the third plan about improving the research and development in macro-level of the economy, passing new laws of protecting and spreading the foreign direct investment in 2002. It is worth noting that while the above mentioned correlations had improved during the fourth development plan compared to the second plan, it shows weaker performance in comparison with the third plan. As a result, it should be noted that the mentioned correlations in industry sector were not significant during 1995-2002 years. Manuscript profile

Biotechnology industry has a special place among novel industries and its progress and development speed just in less than three years, is seems surprising. Biotechnology is one of those crucial and important technologies that its success and impact are caused by its capabilities and extended applications. Most biotech companies are small start ups and although they have been working for several years in this area, they have not been able to achieve significant profitability yet. The evidence proves that there are some problems in process of translating research findings into commercial outcomes. The term commercialization strategy is refers to research and technology exploitation methods in front of researchers and scientists to move their science streams from concept to the market environment. This article intended to identify and introduce the most appropriate strategy of research commercialization in the Iranian biotechnology companies through the mixed methods study. Manuscript profile

In the path of economical development for promoting technology levels of a country, different methods of acquisition of technology, improving current technology and also developing and boosting a new technology by localizing and also R&D are used. Although transferring and technology acquisition is considered as an effective tool in developing industries but importing machineries and industrial tools does not just mean acquisition. The appropriate acquisition is accompanied with technical knowledge and the knowledge of how to use it. In this regard, the balance between technology strategy and business strategy is extremely important on the increase of competitive advantage and also to technology adaption in the national level. The aim of this research is to identify correlation of Porter's five strategic factors with technology acquisition modes with respect to cho and you's technology absorption model and also determine the correlation of these factors with the absorption of technology method and finally provide a model to align strategic and technological goals of company. Nonparametric test is used for achieving research purposes. Chi-square test is used to determine the independence or correlation between independent variables and the dependent variable, and Kendall tau b is used to determine the homogeneity of the criteria. Based on the results, the alternative of buyers bargaining power has the highest correlation with technology acquisition methods. Manuscript profile

Technology transfer is a multi-dimensional phenomenon which has been discussed from scientific, economic and political views not only in developing countries but also in western research institutions for many years. For diminishing the technological gap among advanced and less-developed countries, technology transfer (TT) is a must. TT ,depending on the situation of transferor and transferee, is done through different means. Importing products with high technology, tapping foreign technology, and employing international work force are among the most important methods for TT. Among these and the other general methods for doing so, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) which is usually used by multinational companies, is the main method to access the advanced technologies in industrial countries. FDI usually consists of 3 main elements namely capital, management and technology. All these three elements in order to achieve advancement in developing countries are needed. In this article, having studied the technology transfer and FDI literature and problems of the plastic industry in Iran, 40 affecting variables in 2 main categories were identified. First category known as specialized variables, consists of 8 variables and the other encompasses 32 variables known as general variables. Above-mentioned variables were accommodated in a questionnaire. These questionnaires were distributed among 3 main groups which were active in TT and FDI. These three groups are activist in plastic industry, TT experts and experts in Organization for Investment, Economic & Technical Assistance of Iran. After analyzing the collected data, using exploratory factor analysis technique, 13 main factors were recognized after studying the related literature. Manuscript profile

The emergence of petroleum industry in Iran dates back to more than a century ago and the industry has played a major role in the countrys economy from the very beginning. However, when it comes to the required technologies, the industrys dependency on foreign companies is evident. Independent technology development, on the other hand, is not an easy task since it requires a tight interconnection with Intellectual Property (IP) management. The industrys failure in independently developing its technological needs, can hence be partially attributed to mismanagement of IP. This paper investigates the role of IP and its management in an industrial context, focusing on industries actively pursuing high technological capabilities. Afterward, the petroleum industry and the role of IP management therein are reviewed. Finally the achievements of Research Institute of Petroleum Industry (RIPI) in managing its IP portfolio are introduced. Manuscript profile

Nowadays, knowledge is one of the greatest competitive advantages of organizations in the global economy and it is the most important factor in creating value in organizations. Therefor, it is imperative for any organization to acquire the knowledge needs. Organizational resource constraints do now allow the acquisition of all knowledge needs at the same time, therefore, by valuing and prioritizing the knowledge needs, one can act in such a way that the limited organizational resources were initially devoted to the most essential knowledge needs, thus benefiting from the resources in the best way. Accordingly, in the proposed model in this paper, after identifying all the industry’s knowledge, the knowledge requirements of the organization under study are extracted and according to the organization’s goals and conditions, suitable criteria, the required knowledge is prioritized. The SWOT Matrix is applied for knowledge need assessment. A case study has been carried out in the pottery industry and the results of its implementation have been investigated in a pottery workshop. The results of the need assessment led to the selection of 10 knowledge from 24 pottery industry knowledge which were valued by selecting five criteria and three sub-criteria and ranked according to their importance.

The emergence of information and communication technology has enabled organizations to use this technology to generate data in their own business. In addition, organizations need to open their industry-related data, which is generally government-owned, as well as data innovation, in order to develop their business. Today we are seeing a huge storm of data that is due to the actions of individuals, businesses and the state. It is essential to acquire the valuable information through the use and reuse of production data by opening up a large amount of data. In this way, the potential of the mass data of every sector of industry and business can effectively be used to plan, decide, and ultimately business development. Figures show the potential of open data in three areas: banking, insurance, and real estate. To add value, these data should be processed, combined or visualized. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between open government data and data innovation and business development in the life insurance industry of insurance companies. A questionnaire was used to collect data and a random sampling method was used. In this research, 127 employees of life insurers' life insurance companies were selected as the sample for answering the questionnaire. A questionnaire was distributed among different levels of insurance life insurance companies and finally 98 people participated in the completion of the questionnaire. The findings, based on the results of the hypothesis test, indicate that open government data is effective on business development, and the variable of data innovation has a mediating role..

The garment industry is one of the important and flourishing industries in the country that seems to grow in the export market besides the internal market. It’s considerable that performance measurement is a vital tool for access to basic improvements and it’s important in management. Therefore this research sought to found important and influencer indicators in the garment industry and determine the relationship between these indicators and their preference for each other. For perform this investigation, 35 indicators, obtained from literature review, filtered using questionnaires and experts opinion and then 16 indicators were selected as basic indicators based on Fridman’s method. Using ISM, a meaningful relationship and the importance of indicators were extracted. Penetration power and dependence of indicators determined with the MICMAC analysis. The ISM model showed that the “quality of design”, “planning”, and “applied education with the aim of export increase” indicators have the most impact and they act such as the infrastructure for the model. Also “new product introduction”, “brand promotion”, “increase ordering level”, “marketing”, “effective presence in international markets” and “financial” indicators stand at the top level of the model and are influenced by other indicators. MICMAC analysis showed that “quality of design”,” quality of adaptation”,” planning”, and “applied education with the aim of export increase” have strong driving power but weak dependence power; As a result, these factors are driving in the garment industry and should be a priority for the organization.

By increasing the role of innovation in the economy of countries and turning it into the most important competitive advantage, attention to this concept has increased. Analysis and design of systems that foster innovation have thus been the focus of science and technology policymakers in recent years. One of these systems that have generated many debates in the scientific and professional communities in the field of innovation over the past decade is the innovation ecosystem. Iran’s power and water industry, including numerous companies, research and technology organizations, technological and knowledge-based companies, and supporting institutions can be considered an innovation ecosystem whose elements interact with each other to exchange value to reach the goal of providing reliable and sustainable water and electricity for the society. This article is the result of a project to analyze, design, and establish the energy innovation ecosystem. In this direction and based on soft modeling methods, role analysis and mapping workshops were held with stakeholders and key players of the energy innovation ecosystem. The approach of complex adaptive systems was used to identify and analyze the dynamics of this ecosystem. Based on the obtained results, the roles and duties of each of the actors of Niro's innovation ecosystem were obtained in the form of an aligned structure including two levels of counter and support elements in the scope of the commercialization process. The results of this article can provide researchers and activists in this field with a new perspective on the policy-making of innovation ecosystems. Manuscript profile
