Technological capability improvement model in the knowledge-based enterprises supplying the police electronic equipments according to dynamic capability model

Context and

Using and applying the modern equipments with the excellent technology is one of the police efficiency indices in any country. On one side, electronic systems such as radar systems have important role in increasing the efficiency, rapidity and accuracy of police groups and on the other side, political issues such as boycotts along with some security topics such as controlling these systems lead the country towards local supply of these equipments. In the meanwhile, the role of companies with high technological capability for supplying these equipments is very important. Quick technology changes and environmental requirements are considered as the traits of police electronic equipments technologies. Hence, the companies for confronting such environment require rearranging and coordinating their organizational capabilities such as technology capability with the new environmental needs and opportunities increasingly and variably. Thus, this paper intends to present an appropriate model for promoting the technology capability in the technology-based companies that supply the police electronic equipments.

For presenting this model, after formation of a conceptual model, the survey was applied and the data obtained from 78 knowledge-based companies were analyzed and by means of structural equations modeling, the direction and intensity of relationships between structures resulted in promotion of technology capability in these enterprises was studied. At end, technological capability improvement model in the enterprises supplying the police electronic equipments was presented. Findings and

The enterprises with higher dynamic capability that have higher capability in environmental perception and flexibility will have higher technological capability level. Achieving the higher levels of technological capabilities that include an integrated set of capabilities require something more than common technical, engineering and research capability particularly in the active companies in the excellent technology sectors such as police electronic equipments require dynamic capability in order to improve and rearrange itself continuously and improve and reproduce the core competences of enterprise.
