  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 .

  The answer to the question of technology development using internally developed methods of cooperation with other companies or buys the technology to be done, is one of the main aspects of a firm's technology strategy. After deciding on the technology development strategy many firms, in different stages of their life cycle, according to market requirements, corporate objectives and strategies use different ways for technology acquisition. Successful presence in the market for each firm requires the acquisition of technology in best and. Therefore, identification of technology acquisition strategies and strengths and weaknesses of each strategy is of great importance. One of the important issues raised in this context is that choosing the right combination of strategies through various strategies so that maximum benefit for the firm to be. Also, there are different methods for the acquisition of technology and technological cooperation in each Strategy, that according to the type of organization needs and technology content and terms of the transaction parties (companies), some of these methods are more efficient and more effective. One of the methods and tools that can determine the degree of relevance between technology acquisition strategy and organization situation is identifying the location of organization on its lifecycle curve. This paper is based on a comparative study with the combination of concepts of organization lifecycle and technology acquisition strategies, potential strategies for major firms in each of the stages of his life will be introduced. The purpose of this paper consists of establishing correspondence between the conditions in each of the stages of its life and general conditions for the adoption of any one of the main strategies for technology acquisition is necessary.

  In the present era, innovation as a necessity for sustainable economic growth and development, improvement of living standards and economic prosperity of people has been considered by economic experts. On the other hand, the development of innovation in each country requires a capital formation to secure the necessary financing. All countries, developing ones in particular, can through flow of foreign direct investments attract financial resources and transfer of technology to create a platform for innovation to grow and thrive. Therefore considering the important role of innovation and foreign direct investment in increasing the competitive strength, this study investigates the relationship between foreign direct investments and innovative visions in Iran’s economy compared to outlook of documented countries during the period between 1995 and 2008. The results of experimental studies indicate the existence of a two-way relationship between foreign direct investment and innovation in these countries. Amongst these countries, Turkey, Iran and Saudi Arabia have been most successful in attracting foreign direct investment and in the development of innovative components, while Yemen and Tajikistan have shown the weakest performance with respect to attracting the same. Moreover, based on the results, the status of the documented countries in terms of innovation and direct investment indicators is not satisfactory compared to the rest of the world. This may be attributed to problems of absorption capacity, inconsistencies between macro-economic policies, education and research policies, and…. Manuscript profile

  Much debate in the field of intellectual property rights and its role in economic development is going on. This paper out of four economic variables that affected by IPR, FDI, trade, innovation, public health, genetic resources and traditional knowledge discuss about the effects of stronger IPRs in developing countries on innovation. Here innovation is defined base on OECD statements. Innovation is the implementation of a new or significantly improved product (good or service), process, new marketing method or a new organisational method in business practices, workplace organisation or external relations. Where the cost of research is high and there is much risk for the return of the investment, countries use different strategies to encourage the innovation. Implementing a strong IPR regime is an important way to motivate researchers and firms for R&D activities. An empirical study has been conducted on 118 countries, both developing and developed countries. It is concluded that stronger IPR does not have direct effect on economic growth or increasing innovation in developing countries while a direct and strong relationship between these variables are visible in developed countries. The positive role of IPR in the economic of developing countries must be accounted, in addition these countries are under the pressure of developed countries to strength their IPR regime, so the countries must develop their IPR law in a manner to prepare most effective way for improving their economic.

  The patent system at national level fulfills several functions and objectives, among which encouraging public disclosure of filed patent applications is an important one. In all technologically advanced countries, patent applications are publicly disclosed after 18 month from the filing date regardless of whether a patent has been or will be granted. Therefore, one needs to ask why disclosing information contained in patent applications is important at national level. How the society benefits from it? In this paper, we examine patent disclosure as a primary function of patent system. Then we investigate both de jure and de facto patent disclosure in Iran. Based on a recent research in the field, we argue that although Iranian legislators have consciously promoted patent disclosure, the practice is well outside international accepted norms and standards. We finally argue that in absence of corrective measures, the Iranian patent system continued to be ineffective and fails to play its due role in the country's science and technology development.

  In today's world, especially after the development of open innovation paradigm, technological collaboration is the most important sources of innovation. Because, in the new competitive environment, organizations are in need sources of innovation and the current competitive advantages and internal resources are not sufficient for competitiveness. So technological collaboration is an effective tool for developing competitive advantage and eliminate the gap between current and desired capabilities. This makes the technological collaboration as an engine of growth and productivity in local and international markets and also as one of the most important management tools for improving the competitiveness of organizations and strategic maneuvers in complex and dynamic environments. In recent years, collaboration has been expanded so that five hundred first-class international business, has more than sixty percent of strategic alliances. These collaborations are not necessarily always successful and failure rate has been reported seventy to eighty percent. These failures led to the scientific experts efforts for finding solutions of increase the effectiveness of collaborations, Appropriate methods of collaboration, Reduce the risks of collaboration and identifying Success Factors. In this paper is attempted after literature review, success Factors of technological collaboration is introduced. Understanding these factors provide useful insight for managers and policy makers.
