        For years Iranian thinkers and managers try to improve the relation between universities and industries to use the scientific results of academics centers in national technology development. Some years ago after changing the name “Culture and advanced education ministry” to “ministry of Science, research and Technology” the ministry tried to have important roles on national technology and knowledge based development. Though much trying, there is needed to essential planning and organizing works to lead the ministry to have beneficial output for the goals of technology development which is in constitution. To reach to the goals which coming in the constitution it is needed some rectification and modification in organization structure, rules and process of execution. In other hand there are some science and technology organizations parallel to each other with more budget and low responsibility in the government. So grinding and dispersion of research possibilities is one of the barriers to technology development in Iran. This paper notices to the Change of academic regulation and systems as a necessity for improvement of industries relation and national technology development for country. Improvement of technological universities instruction systems is one of the other items emphasized in this paper for national technology development Manuscript profile

        Most of the nation’s economic power to dominate the regional and trans-regional markets depends on the knowledge and technology and its application in creating various products consistent with the current worldwide demand. The use of technology in production and export leads to increased competiveness strength and enhanced worldwide market share. This study investigates the effect of innovation on high technology exports of Iran in comparison to the selected countries mentioned in the vision plan during 2007-2012 in order to provide policy recommendations to achieve the vision plan goals and seriously addressing the economic sanctions. The results indicate a positive relationship between innovation and high technology exports in studied countries. Among the studied countries, the worst and the best performance on high technology exports respectively are Qatar and Turkey. Iran ranked second in the region on high technology exports and in the couple of innovation indicators (The number of patents and scientific and technical papers) but for the other indicators of innovation, the situation is not desirable. Despite the presence of young and graduated generation and the development of higher education, due to inconsistencies between macroeconomic policies and research and innovation policies and also the lack of demand-driven innovative activities, still Iran has not reached the top position in exports of high technology in the region. So to seriously deal with economic sanctions and to achieve Vision′s goals, it is necessary to adopt appropriate macroeconomic policies in order to create demand for the development of innovation activities.

        Technology Commercialization plays an important role in improving society welfare. Moreover, to be eligible, a company must meet all criteria and features in supplying a new product to the market. A technology should have diverse unique features in order to attract customers attention and be a great market potential for its product or service. The purpose of this paper is to study the impact of technology features on technology commercialization. According to the innovation diffusion theory, technology features conclude innovation, publicity, simplicity and consistency. The questionnaires were distributed among 130 SME’s of Guilan Science and Technology Park. Among the 130 questionnaires, 97 questionnaires were answered; therefore the final evaluation has been accomplished based on 97 questionnaires. In addition to the confirmation of extracted model, research results showed that each of the relevant variables directly affects the technology commercialization. According to the results, the most effective factors on technology commercialization relate to the variables such as consistency and simplicity while publicity and innovation are on the next level of importance. The results also prove the effect of technology features on market potential and the effect of on market potential on commercialization. In conclusion, there is a direct, positive and significant relation between technology attributes and market potential, but the impact of technology features on commercialization occurs indirectly as an intermediate structure.

        Knowledge based economies are more strongly dependent on the production, distribution and use of knowledge than ever before. Output and employment are expanding fastest in high-technology industries, such as computers, electronics and aerospace. High-tech refers to technology that is at the cutting edge and the most advanced technology available. High technology industries and services are central part of knowledge-based economy, and one of the main economic indicators for measure the knowledge in economic. In this paper, we introduce the principles and indicators of high-tech industries and analysis effect of the knowledge-based economy variables (ICT, R&D and Education expenditures) on their production. We have developed a model of high-tech industries production. This model has been estimated for 48 countries in 2000-2007 with using GLS Panel Data Approach. The results of the analysis show a positive and significant effect of ICT, R&D and education on high-tech industries .Elasticity calculation shows one percent increase in R&D will result 0.48 present increases in high-tech industrial production, Also one percent increase in ICT will result 0.68 present increases in high-tech industrial production and finally one percent increase in Education will result 0.29 percent increase on high-tech industrial production. So we require a lot of attention to R&D, ICT and Education in program and policy development of high tech industries. Manuscript profile

        science and technology parks , as one of the effective structures in development of technology and as a consequence, development of knowledge-based economy and professional employment has been considered by many countries. The goal of many of these new structures, is organizing an active environment for creation or development of technology chains for research product-orientation , developing fields as result of group work and supporting purposeful activities of researchers, innovators and companies working in selected fields of technology. On the other hand, each organization , in order to achieve its goals, requires factors which must necessarily provide them. In fact for each organization, there are fields of activity which must perform them in the best way , in order to achieve its defined goals. These factors, which are called critical success factors in management literature, are inseparable components of organization success in achieving goals. Science and technology parks, similar to other organizations or institutes, need to provide these factors in order to achieve their goals. The purpose of this research is to identify these factors for science and technology parks of khorasan razavi and specify their relative priority from experts point of view who are familiar with topics related to scientific parks. For this purpose, after interviewing with experts in this park, 48 factors were identified and categorized in 4 groups. In the next step, these factors were compared by experts and after analyzing the results, their priority in each group as well as their overall ranking was presented by using Friedman test which is as following: supporting factors of knowledge-based institutions in order to produce technology, human resource factors, factors related to development of technology s Infrastructure , factors related to development of centers related to technology .

        One of the problems in the developing countries industry is none productivity of imported technology transferred. The most important element of this is the incompleteness of technology transfer phases and/or lack of usage of the proper technology transfer. Today, companies and developing countries in order to bridge the gap with developed countries in terms of innovation and creating competitive advantage, various methods are resorted. One of the most important ones is the transfer of new technologies through which they have been able to compensate much of the distance between them & the developed countries. Technology transfer is possible through different approaches which is determined by the condition of technology transfer and transferee (sender and receiver). But despite this method with its potential opportunities have some implicit threats i.e. if technology is not selected and transferred properly will result in big negative damages and effects. The technology transfer process consists of six major phases and in case of accomplishing all these phases successfully, commercialization of technology transfer will be possible. These six major phases are: selecting &acquisition, matching the imported technology transfer, absorbing the imported technology, applying the imported technology transfer, technology diffusion. We attempt in this investigation to assess the success of Azarab technology transfer industry and at the end we try to determine the best practices for technology transfer by use of AHP model.

        Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), a leading technology could be useful for reducing the supply chain food. The RFID can be effective with receiving product information and reducing costs. The greatest challenges are the supply chain management of perishable goods, especially the food. Variation in the number of goods, tracking and follow-up the flow of goods throughout the supply chain, low life expectancy, high volume products requiring temperature control in the supply chain is some of the challenges. The risk of food at each stage of the supply chain of food can occur, resulting in the definition of management to obtain information, ingredients, date of production (sales, consumption), etc., and provide it in a transparent manner to provide supply chain suppliers and consumers is necessary. One of the best possible solutions is using of RFID that help the supply chain management in perishable goods logistics. This paper examines the business model of the financial implementation of RFID in tracking food. To clarify the subject, a case study RFID system using in Taiwan welfare chain stores has been providing. In this case by introducing two upgrade projects 4 and 6 years old, profit and costs associated with the implementation of RFID for manufacturers, distributors and retailers in the supply chain of convenience stores have been analyzed.
