Evidence in defense industry including knowledge dispersion and budget cuts demonstrate increasingly necessity of moving toward open innovation as defense industry in united states of America, England, and many other countries are opening their innovation activities. Our country's defense industry inevitably has to step in this road to confront the rising challenges. But there is no trace of an open innovation model for the defense industry in academic literature. Based on innovation literature and experts’ experiences, the present study was designed to develop a framework to measure innovation openness in the defense industry. This framework can be used to map defense industry innovation projects onto openness spectrum in three dimensions, thus may help us to draw the way to more openness. first, a preliminary framework based on innovation literature was presented to defense industry experts, and their critics and suggestions were captured during interviews. Then using experts’ opinions and by reviewing the literature again, the final framework, accepted by experts and consistent with the literature, was developed. The final result is a three-dimension framework which measures open innovation “ depth” and “ breadth” , and “ knowledge depth” of defense innovation at project or organization level.

Each sectoral system of innovation consists of its particular knowledge base and technology, institutions and policies and market structure. In addition, these components evolve and have co-evolution with each other based on specific patterns. Analyzing evolution and co-evolution sectoral systems of innovation especially in developing countries can lead to rewarding implications for both policy and management. Therefore, this paper aims at investigating the evolution and co-evolution of Iran’ s gas turbine sectoral system of innovation by employing a qualitative approach and case study strategy. This research found that, existence of large local demand and market in different industrial sectors can be account as appropriate opportunity for local firms to acquire necessary technological capabilities, if policymakers look at this situation as a good opportunities to design and implement intelligent policies in terms of public procurements, investing in R&D and developing infrastructures and facilitating collaboration with foreign companies in order to accelerate accumulation of technological capabilities in domestic firms.

In the sixth development plan (c) Iran to use the surplus capacity of the defense industry to non-Defense Department stressed. The main question that it is effective for the realization of this, how should policy be formulated? The defense industry sector, one of the leading productive sectors and in the field of science and technology and the development of advanced products that simultaneously for a dual purpose can be to produce the products and technology of Defense and non-defense employment. Governments always sought to identify and resolve general issues are society; today, the promotion of national production and utilization of internal capacity for it, the orientation is that public policy makers pay more attention implies. But, if the version of this policy are based on theoretical considerations and practical dorandishane siagh and scientifically designed, will continue the national pain medicine. So in this study, for the quality of documentation and studies with interviews with people from the academic and industrial experts knowledgeable, acting as a model to design practical policy makers view the arena, in the form of qualitative content analysis, we have. The results of this research, attention has to the three The pivotal factor, 6 dimensions, 28 components and guidelines for building the dual use defense industry policy.

Economic, social and technological changes with their impacts on environmental issues have received increasing notice in the years to come. The relationship between the historical approach of the development of technology and innovation processes will create a profound attitude to the issue of technological change and innovation. On the other hand, with respect to the various social and environmental issues, technological innovation and the development of eco-innovation are essential for tackling climate change in the near future. The present study, therefore, has tried to analyze the role of government in the governancing of eco-innoavtion and their supportive policies by carefully examining the evolution of innovation processes, while presenting a comprehensive framework for analyzing the energy and environmental innovation system. Integration, integrity and comprehensiveness of the proposed framework is some of the research advantages that can be considered for policy and planning in this area. Finally, some policy lessons at country level and recommendations for further research are given. As an example, considering the findings out of the critical analysis of the previous energy efficiency policies in a historic manner, the energy efficiency and environment market has been designed.

One of the most valuable economic sources in the country is the pastures of the medicinal herbs. The problem of the traits of some harvesters and the growing extermination of pasture on the one hand and the marginalization of native villagers for pastures harvesting led to pay attention to "narrative of the mechanisms of governing the resources of the pastures medicinal plants" as the main issue of this article. In order to provide a precise narrative of the governance of “ common pool” resources while reviewing the laws and regulations of this area, reviewing relevant documents, and interviews was conducted with 20 civil servants and harvesters in this section. As a result of the research, it became clear that in the current situation, the management of pasture resources is in the hands of the government and the procedure for assigning them to individuals for withdrawal takes place through the mechanism of the auction and receiving the property interest. Learning by successful patterns in governance of common pool resources with an emphasis on decentralized and native management of pastures in the world countries confirms the important role of redefining property rights for native harvesters and designing collective action rules tailored to the cultural context and biological features in Each region. Extraction of these resources by metacentric mechanisms, in addition to preventing rural migration, will lead to a full cycle of exploitation of the pasture, including the restoration, production and maintenance of them, without additional expenditure by native people.

The main purpose of this paper is to draw on the model of caching up in aviation industry with emphasis on passenger aircraft by using the experiences of late comer countries and considering the capabilities of the Islamic Republic of Iran, to present pattern and identify the strategies and measures needed in this direction. This is done by comparative exploration in aviation industry of countries such as China, Japan, Canada and Brazil, where the timeframe of their aviation development plans is nearer. The method of present study is qualitative and its strategy is multiple case study. In this research we are looking for methods of caching up the technology of the late comer in aviation industry. At first, historical of the aviation industry has been studied with a focus on the last 24 years. In this review, high citation paper even if related to older times, have been considered. we selected the countries such as Canada, Brazil, China and Japan, that are the owner of company such as Bombardier, Embraer in Canada and Brazil respectively, and aircraft models C919 and ARJ21 in China and the MRJ21 in Japan. By reviewing their capabilities actions of the China, Japan, Canada and Brazil obtained and compared with IRAN’ S capabilities, Iran’ s technology gap has been identified, and based on this, in catching up of technology based on three important factors: i) Indigenous R&D; ii) Export oriented and iii) Capability and capacity making, and the alignment pattern by emphasizing on part manufacturing and industrial offset with emphasizing on privatization and project implementation in six stages, are issued. After reviewing their historical development, the capability actions of the selected countries are obtained and compared with IRAN’ S capabilities, and coming in the table 3 to 7. Iran’ s technology gap has been identified in this area, and on this basis strategic implications in this area have been identified and present a pattern.
