  Innovation is the capability of identifying opportunities and using their advantages. These opportunities are not just opening new markets but include the innovative processes and ways for existing markets. Actually, innovation is not just production of goods, and examples of innovation can be seen in the service sector and public and private sectors. Innovation intrinsically is a risky project and even developed firms cannot accept infinite risks. In fact, the question is not that if innovation should be done or not, but rather how this innovation can be successful and which feedback could be gained from its success and failure and reaching a pattern that can be applied in future activities. Always the main question has been "whether or not we can control and manage what is known as innovation". At first glance, it might seem that managing innovation is impossible and a complex process. But we believe that despite the uncertain and apparently random-nature of the innovation, it is possible to find an underlying pattern of success. Innovation is a "management" issue because there are decisions to be made about resources, disposition, composition and coordination among them. In this paper after expressing concepts of innovation and managing innovation, a conceptual model and its usage structure is presented in order to concentrate on key aspects of managing innovation. Next, creation and maintenance of an innovative organizational context will be discussed and finally a comparative analysis of managing innovation between Japanese and Korean firms will be reflected.

  The emersion of new technology enhances the man’s expectation of welfare’s level and life’s quality. The research studies have shown that innovation which is based on new technologies, creates new bazaars’ and enhanced the volume of bazaar. Bazaar’s demand in one side and new technologies on the other side, is caused innovation strategy planning framework should be as a organizations necessity. In this paper, first innovation processes is investigated. Due to Strategic thinking and future opportunities explorations needs to identifications of future trends and foresight, so in the second step, foresight and its functionalities is presented. Then the effect of foresight functionalities on innovation process is analyzed. In the third step, a proposed framework for innovation strategy in organizations is presented based on effectiveness strategy process structure and then the stage of this framework is explained.

  We are living in a world where the complexity of cause and effect relations is in a continuous increase. The owners of the new ideas, their supporters and the beneficiaries encounter different questions for starting a new business activity. The questions such as Will this idea become successful or not? or What kinds of supports and considerations are necessary for this idea to be successful? are some examples. The idea assessment process is an important and interesting subject for both innovators and incubators managers so that it make the former familiar with the probable strengths and weaknesses and for the latter i.e. the managers of incubators the significance is in admitting the owners of ideas in incubators and starting to support them based on their needs in the early stages of the innovation process. The Innovation Development Early Assessment System has been developed for the assessment of the possibility of commercializing the ideas in the early stages of innovation. This paper will introduce this system and it further addresses the method of improving and developing it as a tool in the hands of the incubators managers helping them in the admission process of companies and helping them to recognize the support services required by their tenants during their residency in the incubator. It will also look at this system as a tool for making the owners of ideas familiar with the probable barriers and obstacles that may lead to their failure. The improvement method proposed for this system has been defined with regard to the existing conditions of the applicants of settlement in the incubator. A case study and the analysis of the results obtained through this system will come at the final part of this paper. Manuscript profile

  Open innovation represents an emergent paradigm, which organizations must become familiar with and apply it in practice sooner or later in order to survive and prevent their failure. Factors such as diffusion of knowledge, increasing costs and complexity of R&D, the shortening of the technology life cycles, the growth of venture capital and presence of knowledgeable suppliers and clients, have weakened the close innovation paradigm. So, self-sufficient, inward focus, monopoly of knowledge and capital investment on internal research, does not create competitive advantages for organizations any more. In open innovation era, organizations make use of both internal and external resource of knowledge to drive their innovation processes, also search different internal and external ways to develop their markets. With regard to inescapable deployment of open innovation, now the question is what items should be considered by organizations in the shift from close innovation to open innovation? In other words, what are the requirements for implementing open innovation approach in organizations? This paper will answer the question by review of pervious research to identify and describe dimensions which could lead organizations in order to implement open innovation. These dimensions which named “the requirements to shift from close innovation into open innovation” and presented in conceptual framework of paper, are: networking, open innovation processes, organizational structures and knowledge management systems. Organizations should notice these dimensions interact each other, so change along one dimension will impact on the others. Manuscript profile

  Not only innovation being the foundation and basis for technology, but also is considering as a driver of technological changes in organization. That means the transition and evolution of technology depends to the creativity and innovation. Thus industrial organizations by the process of new and innovative products and services make changes in technology frontiers. Considering researches have been done in a context of innovation, we can see that lots of researchers referred to the importance of innovation process to intensify competitiveness and productivity. But, in related to determining the critical phases in process of technological innovation, a comprehensive research has not been observed. In this research with using Content Analysis Method, a new category of critical dimensions, components, and indicators in technological innovation process of organization, has been represented by surveying the past studies in relation with innovation process. With revision and surveying the theories of different researchers in relation with the subject of technological innovation process, research's result subdivided in three dimensions accompanied with its components and indicators namely “Idea Generation”, “Idea Implementation”, and “Commercialization and Diffusion”. Based on this research organizations should more focus on idea evaluation and implementation dimension. Finally indicators like “growing process of idea concepts in a practical and usable way”, “identification of problems and needs of the organization”, “employee’s freedom in doing work process”, and also “using marketing knowledge, and selling and diffusion skills” have been the most important indicators affecting in Implementation of technological innovation process Manuscript profile
