Purpose:Commercialization of science and technology is one of the most important indexes of innovation in science and technology that can answer this important question: which organizations and countries could change ideas and knowledge into product and wealth, and which factors were effective in this process? This research aimed to identify the commercialization state of academic research studies and their drivers and barriers at Shahed University. Methodology: To meet this purpose, a six-step study was carried out. Based on the literature review, the market analysis approach was selected as the appropriate approach to evaluate the commercial potential of academic research studies. About 214 completed research projects in University were evaluated, as well. Findings: As a result, 70 percent of projects were confirmed to have commercial potential. Based on previous studies, 120 parameters were identified and after refinement, 51 parameters were finalized and grouped into 13 main factors and categorized into three dimensions, namely, individual, organizational, and institutional factors. The result of the expert survey confirmed that the identified factors were reliable. Using the DEMATEL technique to investigate the relationship between the main factors and three dimensions resulted in the prioritization of the most influential factors on the commercialization of academic research as managerial attitude, planning and policymaking, facilitation and support, cultural background, system factors, organizational structure, procurement, and mobilization. In terms of effect factors, priorities included knowledge and awareness, empowerment and skill, creativity and innovation, risk-taking and trust. In the next step, using ANP to prioritize influential factors on commercialization, it was concluded that planning and policymaking, organizational support, managerial attitude, cultural background, facilitation and support, organizational systems, and other factors ranked respectively. In the final step, based on the viewpoint of academic researchers, the state of each identified factor was investigated. Conclustion: The research finding revealed that the lack of each of 13 factors (except risk-taking) can play the role of the barrier for commercialization of academic research results, and the existence of each factor can be a driver for success in the commercialization of research results |
