Abstract

Nowadays, higher education institutes and engineering organizations have achieved this important matter that they can maintain their initiative and advantages in long term competition by innovation and its development and extension. Both factors including rapid changing technology and intense competition have the key role in considering the increasingly innovation in industries. In this research, we tried to identify some essential barriers of development and exploitation of innovation by referring to the Iran managers and inventors community. This is an applied research and an objectively survey. To analyze the data, we used Friedman Test. The results showed that instability of supportive rules and regulations, and insufficient funds are the most important barriers of development and exploitation of innovation from managers and inventors point of view so that the inventors and managers respectively mentioned financial resources and matters relating to training as the most important barrier.
