        Technology units located in science and technology parks need financial resources, knowledge, technology and domestic and international markets to grow. Using foreign joint venture is one of the best ways to get technology units to market. In this regard, this study has been conducted with the aim of investigating the factors affecting the success of foreign joint ventures with the method of combined research in technology units located in science and technology parks of Tehran province. The statistical population of 225 technology units located in the parks of Tehran province and the time zone of the research is the fall of 1398. In the qualitative part of the research, a conceptual model of the research was developed by reviewing the background and interviewing 11 experts who were selected judiciously using the snowball technique. Then, in the quantitative part, a researcher-made questionnaire was randomly distributed in the statistical population of the research (technology units located in science and technology parks of Tehran province). 147 completed questionnaires were analyzed using structural equation modeling with SmartPLS software. the components affecting the success of foreign joint ventures were identified as the importance of environmental, cultural-behavioral and structural-organizational factors, respectively. In addition, the following components: increasing political stability, increasing the executive guarantee of intellectual property, increasing human resource empowerment, fairer legal structure of partnership, commitment and mutual trust between partners, reputation and previous experience of the trading partner are the most important factors influencing joint venture success.

One of the patterns which presented for solving such a problem is the utilization of intermediary organizations and institutions in the cycle of the research to the market which could be realigned through establishing science and technology parks. Science and technology parks play essential role in creating and developing technology institution and professional research centers. Farther more, such R&D units would facilitate the aggregation and technical cooperation with its complimentary units such as engineering services companies, engineering and designing institutes, and professional research centers. Also, it provides suitable connection for funding and addressing the groups adjusted with R&D activities. This article by mentioning the establishment and characteristics of Iranian science and technology parks, explains the general situation of such centers are explained based on geographical conditions and establishing bodies as well as the numerous of center categorized based on dependence type and their different activities and international organization.
