There are many elements in the process of technology transfer that influence the effectiveness of it. One of these cases is the corporate culture. Organizational culture that impact of national culture can underlie the success or failure of the technology transfer process. For this purpose this study examines the role of organizational culture based on Hofstede's framework on the effectiveness of technology transfer. Statistical population of the research was technology transfer projects during recent two decades. Accordingly we selected 53 projects and the questionnaires were fulfilled by these projects’ managers and experts. We used structural equation modelling to analyze data. The research results showed the key role of organizational culture on technology transfer (. to determine the success and failure). The results also showed that results-oriented, employee-oriented, Professional view, Open systems, Loose control and Normative view are more impact on the effectiveness of technology transfer.

Nowadays high tech industries sector play a key role in economic growth of developing and developed countries as a competitive advantage and build dominant share of GDP of these countries. However competition within high tech market has attracted increasingly scholarly attention, it has been shared concern of managers during a NPD project. Although this issue have a broad limitation, in this research we consider organizational factors influencing market performance of high tech NPD. The main question of this research has been extracted from high tech industry concern discussed by some past project manager and standout CEO's. In do so, first of all, we did 8 interview with these managers and then has been test our structural model in 54 organization as sample. These organizations propose a products exploiting high technology somehow. While the analysis of our research was as an Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), we try to use PLS regression to analyze data extracted from the sample. Result obtained of PLS algorithm and Bootstrapping showed that what extent high tech using in products increase, market performance of these organizations increases. This effective path of high tech exists for dynamic capabilities and risk investment variables as well as market performance. However our research propose a structural model of high tech variable as the effective dimensions of high tech on market performance of NPD.

These days, universities, research institutes and firms in many countries have decided to develop and commercialization of new products and services. But all of these organizations in this process faced with the shortcomings including the lack of attention to the factors affecting the commercialization strategy to find the best strategy and in result, successful commercialization of new technologies. This study has been focused to find solutions to address these weaknesses by identifying factors affecting the technology commercialization strategy and the relationship between the factor and the strategy through a systematic approach in this regard. To this end, a closer look has been taken to the literature to facilitate commercialization and overcome some of the problems in this matter by using a comprehensive systematic review and synthesis of studies in this field using meta-synthesis. Factors such as life cycle, the appropriability regime, size of exploiter firm, complementary assets, nature of exploiter firm, uncertainty, scientific-technical and management capabilities, environmental factors, financial resources, type of technology and the competitive position of the exploiter firm was identified as the main factors affecting, and in the end the effect of these factors on the technology commercialization strategies including In-house Commercialization, spin off company, joint R&D, joint ventures, strategic alliances, purchasing/acquisition, licensing, merge and sale were investigated.

Information and communication technology has opened new horizons for humanity. Nowadays, a variety of technologies has penetrated different spheres of life, including business and affairs seems to be impossible without it. Among the advantages of this technology, for increased speed, accuracy, cost reduction and time saving that all of them ultimately leads to improved performance and increased productivity. One of the most important industries has been the impact of information technology is banking industry. Banks are trying to change the style of their provide services and their customers encouraged to take advantage of new channels and services including Tele banking, Mobile banking, Internet banking and all branches of electronic banking. To investigate factors that may affect customers using Internet banking legal entities have positive effects, this study will provide a model to examine the effects of these factors. In this paper, based on literature and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the factors which affected on acceptance of internet baking by legal entities are identified and a conceptual model is developed. A questionnaire is designed and distributed between legal costumers of Eghtesad Novin bank. Structural equation approach is used to investigate research hypotheses and validate the conceptual model of the research. Results of statistical model show the proposed model is befitting to data and factors of trust and security have the most impact on the acceptance of this technology. Also the inner emotions of legal users have not impact on this kind of technology.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the innovation performance of the new product in the manufacturers of automobile components and parts in Iran. This study was conducted using descriptive – correlation methodology. The study population consisted of all active manufacturers of automobile components and parts in Islamic Republic of Iran. Structured questionnaire was used to collect data from the CEO of these companies. Out of 359 questionnaires in which were distributed through email, 226 questionnaires were returned (201 valid), which was equivalent to a 55. 9 percent return rate. Hypotheses were tested through correlation analysis and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique. Data analyses show that product modularity and product innovativeness have a significant and positive effect on innovation performance of new product. Results also reveal that and supplier technological integration positively moderates the product modularity-new product performance relationship.

Increasing role technology spillovers in increase competitiveness, innovation, production diversification increase product quality, improve distribution, increasing comparative advantages, finally achieving the economic goals achieved, and in addition to its importance internal technology highlights. Although technology transfer and absorption of import channel can effective instrument in economic growth and development countries to be considered. but technology spillover of channels import goods capital and intermediate means is not absorption technology spillover but also attract absorption technology spillover functions absorption capacity (human capital and technical knowledge) is. countries with resource abundance to support wealth natural potential are for the development human capital and technology spillover from business partners of channel imports goods intermediate and capital, but with careful examination of situation countries with natural resource abundance seen some of them successful in attracting technology spillovers some also have weak that it depend on situation institutional indicators such as economic freedom; because improving index of economic freedom makes proper use of exchange revenues derived from natural resources in order to promoting knowledge-based economy and improving absorption capacity technology spillover of channels imports goods intermediate and capital. So goal the present study is examines impact of natural resource abundance of channels economic freedom in selected countries with natural resource abundance during the period 1996-2014 using the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). the estimation results, impact variables natural resource abundance of channel components economic freedom index, per capita income and inflation on absorption technology spillover is positive and significant.
