        Achievements and research findings could n't be a factor for creation of wealth and welfare for society until they will be commercialized. So the creation of contexts for commercialization, not only provides significant economic value for organization, but also leads to economic and technical growth of community. In this study, the challenges and success factors of commercialization for research achievements will be identified and ranked. This research in terms of the objective is applied research, and in terms of how to gathering data, is descriptive survey. First, by the literature review and use of expert’s opinions in the Institute of Communications and Information Technology and using the Delphi technique, 11 challenges and 19 success factors for commercialization of research achievements were identified. For measuring the consensus, Kendall's Coefficient and for ranking the factor the Friedman test are used. The results show that the most important challenges are "weak laws protecting intellectual property, economic barriers, lack of commercialization strategies" and the most important success factors are "requiring faculty to estimates business plan for their new research propsals, intellectual property protection, and effective communication between universities and industry".

        The ICT industry is moving from a capital-centric towards a services-centric one. This is due to the emergence of technologies and infrastructures and businesses that challenge the business models of traditional players. Hence, the actors have begun their work with a different look at the innovation strategy of the new decade. On the other hand, industry activists have considered strategic alliances as one of the most important organizational forms in modern society in recent years. The purpose of this study is to help the managers by identifying the factors influencing the selection of strategic partners and, in particular, the factors based on the innovation strategy, through first analysis of more than 1,400 scientific researches and second customizing factors with the fuzzy Delphi technique. The results show that investment (financing), cost, level of innovation, intangible resources, marketing resources, commercialization risk, time uncertainty and financial parameters are the most effective ones. In addition, industry executives can come up with the type of optimal strategic alliance through profit sharing, financing sharing, innovation sharing, or a mixed of these three, with a quantitative model presented in this research based on Nash bargaining Manuscript profile

        ICT plays an important role in accelerating economic growth, especially in today's age of the Internet and mobile telecommunications. Due to the upward trend in the use of information and communication technology in the countries of the world, this part of the economy demands a lot of attention. Improved policies due to the impact of information and communication technology on the economy are one of the top programs of governments in developed and developing countries.A review of the literature shows that few systematic studies have examined the role of information and communication technology in GDP growth and the impact of various variables on the role of information and communication technology has not been sufficiently studied.The present study uses systematic approach and system dynamics methodology and examine interactions of ICT variables including ICT access, ICT development, ICT usage etc. with macroeconomic variables such as GDP, total factor productivity, ICT Capital examines ICT's value-added share of GDP and so on and presents a conceptual model of the role of ICT in GDP growth. The qualitative model designed in this study can be the basis for future quantitative research and mathematical simulation with a systematic approach to information and communication technology and GDP.

        Five- year national development plans have a key role in achieving the goals of the vision document. There are two categories for development plan writing policies: diffusion-oriented and mission-oriented. So, prioritization in using an effective combination of the them is necessary. The purpose of this study is to determine the gap of upstream documents and propose policies to develop the seventh plan of ICT-sector. This research is descriptive-analytical in nature and it uses content analysis and documentary review. The population of resaerch are 67 meta-documents that have been selected as a purposeful and accessible sample for study. Analytical-descriptive method has been used to interpret and analyze the data. Based on the research findings, main policies were examined with a two-dimensional framework: 1) technological issues, which used the OECD classification, and 2) functional innovations, which presented in the 7-scale Hekkert classification. Then, the xial coding of each category was done in three levels of government, legislative and executive, and finally, based on the SWOT analysis of existing documents and its compliance with the claimed performance, principles were presented to develop the seventh ICT development plan. Accordingly, the program will have the necessary credibility if the central policies and principles proposed in the Seventh Development Plan of the ICT Sector will be valid. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this study is to design and explain the commercialization model of innovative ideas in companies in the field of information technology and banking communications. The present research is developmental in terms of purpose and descriptive-exploratory in terms of method. Grounded theory strategy has been used to collect qualitative data. Participants in this study include managers and officials of information and communication technology companies in the banking industry. Based on the results of open and axial coding, factors such as keeping pace with environmental developments, strategic factors, managerial factors, cultural factors, quality of organizational communication, commercialization of ideas in the industry, including causal factors affecting the commercialization pattern of innovative ideas in companies Areas of information and banking technology. Also, communication networks, participation platforms, intellectual property of ideas, research capacities, high level support and flexible organizational structure are among the necessary infrastructures for commercialization of innovative ideas in companies in the field of information technology and banking communications. On the other hand, legal challenges, ideas evaluation challenges, organizational damage to the organization, unexpected environmental developments and strategic challenges are among the factors interfering in the commercialization of innovative ideas in companies in the field of information technology and banking. Also categorized are the development of absorption capacities, development of research and development capacities, development of quality of evaluation teams, conversion of ideas into products or services, development of participation capacities, development of organizational networks.
