  Science parks (SPs) are organizations bringing research and industry. Their aim is to promote culture of innovation of their associated businesses and knowledge-based institution. Given the increasing number of SPs that are being set out both in highly industrialized as well as developing countries, the problem of measuring the performance of science parks is becoming paramount both in practiontoners and academicians agenda. The present work is aimed at evaluating Iranian SPs that are members of IASP based on criteria the repercussion of the science park in the territory. Performance criteria that used are networking, convention and collaboration stipulated between science park lab’s and local firms, new products and processes adopted by local firms and developed by the collaboration with the science park, number of firms born by the collaboration with the science park within re-industrializations programmes of abandoned industrial areas, number of workers employed in firms originated from the collaboration with science park and number of environmental improvement carried out in collaboration with science park’s lab. In This study these criteria are localized based on Iranian SPs circumstances. FAHP is applied to determine the relative weights of the evaluation criteria and FTOPSIS is applied to rank the alternatives. Science parks’ rank order of performance in these criteria is as follows: Isfahan STP> Fars STP> Khorasan STP> University of Tehran STP> Arac STP> Persian Gulf STP> Pardis STP> East Azarbaijan STP> Yazd STP> Guilan STP> Kerman STP> Hamedan STP> Kermanshah STP.

  Technology holder countries and organizations seek to sell their technology to less developed ones to achieve profits. Selection appropriate technology transfer (TT) methods may play significant role in obtaining TT projects. Due to the diverse experiences persistent to the field of TT in Iranian Powerhouse Industry, it seems necessary to prioritize appropriate TT methods in order to increase successful and decline failure contingency of future projects. In this investigation, a three phased model including clustering TT methods, prioritizing clusters, and ranking elements in each cluster has been proposed to select appropriate methods of TT. Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) has been utilized to analyze the gathered data of distributed questionnaire among 30 experts. In order to evaluate validity of obtained results once the TT methods have been prioritized by Fuzzy Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (FTOPSIS) method. The findings of this stage confirm previous results. Manuscript profile

  ABSTRACT The present paper aims at presenting an incorporative fuzzy approach towards evaluating of performance using Balanced Scorecard (BSC). To do so, first, based on the data collected from evaluating the components of strategic management, main objectives, key factors of success, and performance evaluation indices are identified. Next, using TOPSIS fuzzy method, the indices are prioritized and ranked so the indices with the highest impact on performance evaluation are identified and classified in the form of balanced scorecards. 29 people from among the elite, chiefs and key experts filled out a questionnaire, in order to achieve the goals of the study. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed through the experts, and its reliability was defined using Cronbach's alpha (0.89%). At the end, the proposed model was executed in a branch of Saderat Bank in Tehran. The application of the improvisations resulted in the improvement in almost all defined indices, i.e., the Total Performance Index for the studied organization was 72.38% by April, 2015 (based on the last three months prior to that), which was raised to reach 79.16% three months after executing the model (the end of July, same year).
