However, there are numerous challenges for the mission defined for them; parks cannot significantly give services to companies operating in the country's soft-technology. One of the challenges that science and technology parks in the country are facing is a certain criteria to determine optimum services provided for development of companies operating in the field of software technology. Hence, this research has been trying to examine the various models of science and technology parks global software as well as field study, the opinions of some activists inside the arena, proposals for boosting and developing science and technology and services parks aimed at expanding and upgrading small and medium-sized interpreneurship in the field of software technologies. The process of this study includes reviewing the resources as well as qualitative non-constructive interviews to collect information and also to wrap up the research method of fuzzy decision-making. The results of the present study suggests that basic services, such as low-interest loans, endangers promoting and developing companies, transfer of experience required for companies, including a market analysis and demographic characteristics of their needs for development and success of these companies Manuscript profile -

In fact, knowledge-based companies are considered important components of resistance economy and its realization. Its growth and development could bring in to resistance against economical invasions. Hence, identifying and ranking factors effecting implementation of knowledge management in such companies is research necessity which is discussed the current research. Now, there are 33 science and technology parks and over 2700 knowledge-based company in parks. Questionnaires are distributed among 70 knowledge-based companies in science and technology Park of Tehran University as the second superior park in country. In the current research, case study and field-data collection are used. Questionnaire is designed using Likert technique and it consists in 3 major factors, organization, human resource, and information technology, and 11 following criteria: objectives and perspectives, leadership, executives, application, software, infrastructure, organizational culture, financial and non-financial incentives, modeling and evaluating. Analyzing information, Cronbach's alpha 0.78 was obtained and using Freidman test and T-test.

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 -

Knowl MoreDuring recent decades, developed and developing countries’ economy have changed incrementally. In these years, physical resources and assets have lost their strategic significance and importance of knowledge both in production and services has grown significantly. Knowledge is now recognized as the driver of productivity and economic growth, leading to a new focus on the role of information, technology and learning in economic performance. Due to these fundamental changes, establishment of knowledge intensive SMEs and production of Knowledge-based and high tech products has grown considerably. Operating in international markets is one of the most important aspects of knowledge-based products developers. Knowledge-based products export as an effective factor in economic development has been considered by developed countries for many years. Although, utilization of such an economic approach has not long history in Iran and investigation of related information indicates inconsistent results in this field. This paper reviews related literature to shed more lights on knowledge-based export performance and related challenges for Iranian practitioners and then introduces several solutions focusing on the factors affecting exporters’ performance through knowledge-based products in export markets, finally presenting some suggestions both on researches and/or executions.
