Empirical research in evaluating and ranking innovation organizations

With the prominence of the role of innovative organizations in economic development, many developed countries have tried to enhance the role of these organizations in their countries and develop their components quantitatively and qualitatively. One of the important issues for the stakeholders of innovative organizations, including governments, public and private sector investors, knowledge-based companies, universities and research centers, is to ensure their successful functioning and the fulfillment of their objectives and needs in accordance with the relevant development programs. Therefore, periodic evaluation of the performance of technology parks as the most prominent innovation organizations and examining ranking issues with the aim of optimizing their processes, structures, functions and outcomes can address some of their concerns. Participation in this workshop is open to the public. However, in terms of the content and materials that are analyzed and reviewed, participation is recommended for science and technology parks, growth centers, universities, government and regulatory organizations, research institutes and centers, and innovation centers and factories.
