Abstract

In this study, the commercialization efficiency of growth companies of growth centers of Iranian university technology units for thirty provinces in the period 1393-1396 has been analyzed. For this purpose, using data envelopment analysis method and scale variable return model, it has estimated the values of technical, scale and managerial efficiency. The results show that there is no positive and significant relationship between academic rank and technical efficiency of growth centers. 12 provinces have lower than average technical efficiency, among which, Kerman province, despite being ranked 26th in the university and located in a semi-industrial area, has the lowest amount of technical efficiency at 0.315. It can be said that effective interaction between academia and industry accelerates innovation, so the lack of an innovative environment of communication between the formal management mechanisms of the university and industry and low managerial efficiency (0.382), moderates academic innovation practices and causes communication. These two areas are diminishing. On the other hand, despite being in the university rankings at level 51 and in a weak industrial zone, Bushehr province has a higher technical efficiency (0.931) than the average, which is mostly due to its high efficiency. It is at the top of its management.
