26th International Association for Management of Technology Conference - IAMOT 2017

The different studies have been done by researchers about regional innovation models. The research objective is the identifying of the effective factors for developing information and communication technology in Iran regions. Based on the literature review, 6 dimensions and 26 factors were identified as the preliminary theoretical pattern. ICT as the main case were analyzed by theoretical pattern in Iran regions. Also three technology(Bio, Nano, Aero) were compared with ICT based on the theoretical pattern. For investigating each technology, the documents, the believes of interviewers and statistical methods were used by researchers. The Cross-case analysis and Whithin-case analysis were done in selected technology and the differentiations and common points were analyzed by real and theoretical repetition. The 16 factors of theoretical pattern have real repetitive for analytical extension. The national and international collaboration policies as a transregional dimension has 3 factors. Also the regional dimensions in the final framework are the social and cultural properties of the region, the level of economical and industrial development in the region, the locational advantages and properties of the region and the learning and knowledge flows in the region. The level of economical and industrial development in the region is the most important dimension for developing ICT innovations in the regions of Iran. In the paper, we analyze the importance of different factors for ICT development in Iran regions.
