The effect of the calculated intangible value components and value added intellectual coefficient on firm productivity, Test results shows that the efficiency of capital employed is the only factor for affecting productivity.

In the past century, Development and keep on organizations life –especially knowledge based Companies needs to having innovation. Knowledge based Companies can improve innovation by owning absorptive capacity. This study is structural modeling of absorptive capacity innovation in knowledge based Companies. purpose the research is applicable and In terms of method of data collection is descriptive - survey . The statistic population of this paper is companies mangers who are in development centers in Azad university of Esfahan. study tools include questionnaire that according literature views that used to masters and experts opinion and little modification and for questionnaire perpetuity. Statistics sample is included 50 collected questionnaires which are analyzed by modeling structural equations. in study ,the results of measured models structures showed that all structures have suitable validity and reliability. The results of structural model express that the effect of dimensions of attraction capacity on different innovation have positive and significant relationship and process innovation on product innovation doesn't have significant relationship.
