Abstract

Rapid technological changes and economic competition causes companies inability to prepare resources needed to respond these conditions, and to pursue growth and development in partnership with other companies. But international statistics shows about 80% failure rate for innovation collaboration. One of the key factors in reducing efficiency is the way that collaborations are governed. In this research, by studying four cases including Nano Fiber Filter, Anticancer Drug, Equipment Exhibition Program, and National Gas Turbine, the relationship between the governance pattern of innovation collaboration and collaboration efficiency have been investigated. According to the results, based on an appropriate approach for analysis, there is a direct relationship between collaboration governance pattern and efficiency.
