Abstract
The aim of this research is to identify and categorize the most important and effective performance indicators of innovative factories in the Iranian innovation ecosystem, appropriate to the conditions of Iran. This research is of a qualitative, developmental, interpretive and inductive type that has been conducted with a mixed approach using two methods: systematic review and content analysis. The statistical population of the study, in the systematic review approach of related studies conducted domestically and internationally, and in the thematic analysis section, consists of seven academic experts and participants who are themselves active in innovative factories and were selected through a purposeful method. After selecting the participants, the research questions were answered through semi-structured interviews. After reviewing and analyzing the interviews obtained, a total of 315 descriptive codes (initial) were classified into 70 primary themes, 19 organizing themes, and 6 comprehensive themes. Thus, the resources and capacities dimension includes: the capability of the factory founding institution, the capability of the factory operating institution, the hard infrastructure of the factory, the expertise of the factory management team, the second dimension, functional processes the cooperation and delegation model of the established components; the third dimension, technology development and innovation, and resource attraction, and finally, the sixth dimension, effectiveness in the ecosystem including; good work performance and problem-centeredness.
