Knowledge-based companies have been expanded due to supportive policies, but they have not been successful in term of export due to lack of comprehensive industrial, trade and technology policies and tools. In this study, export promotion tools of high-tech products in Iran are evaluated and compared with other countries, especially with South Korea and India. Then, the tools are ranked using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). According to the results, the following tools have the highest priority: establishing private institutes in target countries to provide specialized market and marketing services, supporting knowledge-based companies to establish an agency in target countries, delivering pre-export services, granting for acquisition of export certificates and standards (e.g. CE), and transferring successful export experiences.

Performance analysis is a crucial requirement in the development of Science and Technology Parks. Having employed both qualitative and quantitative techniques, this mix-method developmental and applied study was undertaken to analyze the performance of knowledge-based firms in Science and Technology Parks based on the performance evaluation model. The model system used was designed based on a sound review of the theoretical background, documentary analysis and interviews with 17 experts in the field. To evaluate the model and the status quo, a fieldwork questionnaire was distributed among 260 experts and managers in Tehran Science and Technology Parks. The collected data were analyzed via Structural Equation Modeling. The results of the interviews revealed that the experts identified the system model as the best model for assessing the performance of knowledge-based companies; this template was developed in the form of inputs, processes and outputs along with related indicators which were further evaluated. At the stage of pathology, the identified variables were scrutinized among which Human Resource Management (HRM) was found to be less efficiently functioning compared to other variables. HRM comprises employment of qualified human resources and adequately maintaining and organizing them to facilitate cooperation, which were found to be far from adequacy. The findings offer some implications for effective management of Science and Technology Parks.

Nowadays, considering complex technologies, companies are no longer capable of developing innovative products and services by themselves. Thus, cooperation between companies in terms of innovation in products and technology has become an important issue. Accordingly, organizations and corporations have paid more attention to networking with the aim of innovation, as a form of collaboration. However, the formation of these networks requires factors that pave the way to form this mode of cooperation. The current study is conducted with the aim of identification of factors affecting the formation of innovation networks in knowledge-based firms in terms of effectiveness of each factor. Research methodology of this study includes field study and correlation. The results analyzed by SPSS software and Exploratory Factor Analysis. The study classifies effective factors on formation of innovation networks in four categories: communication, cooperation development, internal capabilities and Facilitators. The results also suggest significant role of variables such as specialists, regulations and their appropriate implementation, companies getting to know the activities of other companies, existence of knowledge base and trust.
