摘要:In a knowledge-based economy, technological innovation capability is a key factor in upgrading a firm competitive capability. Improving TICs can be beneficial to a firm and leads to enhanced competitiveness. Researchers in the areas of sustainable competitive advantage have come to the conclusion that one of the critical things that give an organization a sustainable edge, is the development of Core Capabilities and - referring to innovation- Technological Innovation Capabilities. Many researchers have adopted several components or multiple dimensions to audit TIC of enterprises. A set of indicators reflects the performance of a firm’s technological innovation activities. Four dimensions identified for technological innovation capability. After reviewing the literature and extract the dimension of each TIP and TIC, the initial model were proposed. The aim was to understand the effectiveness of each dimension. In this study with overview of the major approaches of TIC, a new approach according to the point of view of various industries experts in Iran was presented. The relation between these dimensions was determined by using qualitative analysis. In this paper we focus on prioritizing the TIC and TIP dimensions. For this purpose to construct the model and prioritization of TIC & TIP dimensions, we use DEMATEL method (Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory).After analyzing data gathered, we found that from seven dimensions identified for TIC, three dimensions have more effect on the others. These three dimensions are strategic planning, resource allocation and organizing. On the other hand three dimensions of TIP are in effect group with this order: Innovation Performance, Sale Performance and Product Performance.
