Abstract :
Based on national innovation system, commercialization of the research achievements is of great importance and possesses a special stance in the scientific, technological, economic and social systems. Despite the importance and value of commercialization of the research results, there are always many issues and problems that prevent fulfillment of commercialization goals on the commercialization process. One of the main barriers of commercialization is inefficiency of methods and lack of applying scientific-experimental methodology. This paper, using hybrid methodology of documental review and survey research, with regard to concepts and models of the commercialization of research achievements, proposes pilot plan research as an essential solution for a technical-economical feasibility study, risk management and linkage of the research achievements to industrial production, and also develops its process. Based on the suggested solution, once the scientific research result in a systematic form is attained, pilot plan research with a specific road map and business plan is achieved so that the final production with more confidence, less amount of risk and expenses is prepared for mass production.
