One of the strategies for achieving the knowledge-based economy and wealth creation is High Technologies Transfer. Depending on their needs, all governments and knowledge-based corporations are transferring High Technologies at different technology readiness levels. In this study, the researcher seeks to identify and rank the individual and organizational factors affecting High Technologies transfer at different levels of readiness. For this purpose, the research method which has been used is qualitative -quantitative. Ten theoretical experts have been interviewed in the qualitative section and 100 practical experts have been interviewed using questionnaires in the quantitative section, also the results were analyzed. In qualitative section, analysis method is coding and in quantitative section, analysis methods are ANOVA and Friedman test. The findings revealed that the influence of individual factors on technology transfer is more than of organizational factors and also suggest this fact that by increasing the level of technology readiness the influence of individual and organizational factors on the success of technology transfer increases. Government and knowledge-based corporations will increase the possibility of success in transfer of High Technologies and will reduce its risks by considering individual and organizational factors that influence the transfer of High Technologies at various technology readiness levels.

This article discuss about public policy implementation for cultural space in Iran. We want to design a model for implementing cultural policy.

The purpose of this study is evaluating the impact of organizational culture and leadership style on knowledge management considering the mediating role of technology acceptance. The hypotheses were tested against the data collected from a sample of 54 manufacturing companies in Qazvin province, using the variance based structural equations modeling (partial least square technique) and path analysis method. The findings reveal that organizational culture and transformational leadership have a positive impact on knowledge management, but there are no positive impacts between transactional leadership and knowledge management. And also transactional leadership does not impact technology acceptance positively. Among the factors explaining transformational leadership, motivation and inspiration (most of all), individual attention and intellectual stimulation have a positive impact on knowledge management, while none of the transactional leadership indicators have significant influence on knowledge management and technology acceptance. Finally, findings indicate that acceptance of technology also has a significant and positive impact on knowledge management. The results of this research help managers to understand the impact of their leadership style and organizational culture on the acceptance of technology so that they can improvetheir companies’ knowledge management.
