Abstract :
The history of the 21st century will be marked by technology and innovation. Technology is the new wealth of nations. Standardization plays an important role in the development of technology because these standards of technology determine the development path of that technology. In other words, in order to develop technology, in addition to innovation, it is necessary to define standards beyond the present and in proportion to the innovations, and the success of companies depends on the fact that the intended innovations can become a standard for that technology. In other words, in addition, need innovation to develop technology, it is necessary to define standards beyond the present and in proportion to the innovations, and the success of companies depends on the fact that the intended innovations can become a standard for that technology. In this research, a descriptive-survey study, by using correlation analysis of variables and multiple regression relationships, we try to investigate the relationship between standardization and innovation in some of the country's automotive industries and determine how and what standardization affects innovation. The results of this study show that standardization generally has a positive and significant correlation with different types of innovation, which is weak in fundamental innovations compared to gradual innovations. According to the results, the automotive industry was suggested to establish standards development units in research and development departments in order to prevent the inhibitory effects of standardization on fundamental innovations in addition to increasing, reducing research and development costs, and reducing technology risk.
