  Technology intelligence is a concept that enables firms to detect technological opportunities and risks which influence their future progress and performance of trade, therefore using this concept by organizations and corporations can be noteworthy. On the other hand, literature has dealt with different models for realization of technology intelligence, and in any of them, multiple stages are introduced. Hence in this research, surveying four models and concluding relevant stages of each, we introduced a model for implementation of technology intelligence concept. In this model three elements which are ignored by existing models - time, requisite activity and management of technology intelligence - are regarded as proposed factors. In this research we used information from libraries to collect the literature. At the end of this article, there is also a suggestion in order to implement further researches. Manuscript profile

  Success of organizations is mainly rooted in innovation. Nowadays innovation in the current theological place plays significant and crucial role for the organizations and most organizations seek for creation of new ideas so that utilize the knowledge for supplying new products and services for the customers and stakeholders, and accordingly they can develop necessary infrastructures for innovation. This research was conducted in order to identify factors and indexes affecting innovative capabilities in small and medium-sized enterprises with five main factors and 20 dimensions. These factors and dimensions included: Individual factor (knowledge, skill, personality characteristics, and motivation), team factor (combination, solidarity, relationship, size), organizational factor (culture, systems and processes, strategies, leadership and organization, learning), industrial factor (networking, suppliers, customers, and competition), national factor (governmental incentives, regulations, environmental conditions), and 86 indexes. Effectiveness level of these indexes on innovative capabilities was evaluated following designing the questionnaire and distributing it among 306 experts and staff of small and medium-sized enterprises of Markazi province, and research model was fitted using structural equations and IMOS software. Finally 80 indexes with 5 main factors and 20 dimensions were accepted for the designed model. According to the research, successful innovative capabilities in small and medium-sized enterprises of Markazi province require attention to all above factors, dimensions, and indexes. Also results suggested that national factor gained first rank, industry factor gained second rank, organizational factor ranked as third, group factor ranked fourth, and individual factor ranked fifth.

  According to single-dimensional researches in entrepreneurial orientation-business performance literature and lack of existence for variables contributing more clarity and progress in our understanding, more study is required to be done. The main purpose of this article is to investigate the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and business performance with regard to organizational learning orientation, as a mediator, and market turbulence, as a moderator.  To assess the claim, we collected data by census method from senior managers or/and executives of all 55 active and semi-active SMEs in the Birjand Industrial Park. Findings showed that small firms having high entrepreneurial orientation show more inclination to organizational learning in the turbulent markets, but organizational learning tendency does not necessarily affect positively the performance of small firms even in changing markets.

  Success Factors in Knowledge Management (KM) capability in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have less been systematically investigated. Existing studies have derived their CSFs from large companies' perspectives and have not considered the needs of small businesses. In this article, existing studies on Knowledge Management capability success factors were reviewed and their limitations were identified. By integrating insights drawn from these studies, the authors proposed a set of 11 CSFs which is believed to be more suitable for SMEs. An empirical assessment was conducted to evaluate the extent of success of proposed propositions using experts’ opinions. The overall results from the empirical assessment were positive, thus reflecting the appropriateness of the proposed success factors. The set of success factors can act as a list of items for SMEs to address when adopting KM. However it can provide a common language for managers to discuss and study the factors crucial for the success of KM in SMEs. The results show that adequate and suitable leadership and management supports, use of Information Technology, bussiness strategies, motivation, resource availability, personnel education, human resource management, performance assessment measures, infrastructures and Knowledge Management processes can increase Knowledge Management capability in small firms. Organization culture, Leadership and management and leader supports and Information Technology were the most important factors Manuscript profile
