1- Increasing Innovations in the post-Reform Era in India (summary)
Abstract: For securing patents, we need to encourage innovation. It is the responsibility of the government to create a culture of innovation, whether in government owned organization/industry or in the private organization/industry. In the age of globalization, since the initiation of economic reforms in 1991 in India, many organizations /companies entered into competition for the growth of business. For that, both companies and government are after securing patents to innovations. It includes both tangible products and chemical processes. All innovations are not patentable, but all inventions are patentable. What is invention? It means any new and useful art, process, method of manufacture, machine, apparatus or other article; or substance produced by manufacture, and includes any new and useful improvement of any of them. For example, computer is an invention. Let us take a court case for understanding “invention”. The word “invention” is important under the Indian Patent Act. In the case of Novartis, a drug company, sells Glivec for anti-cancer drug in the Indian market, the issue under Indian Patent Act has come up for examination. In 2003, Novartis secured exclusive marketing rights (EMR) for Glivec under the 1994 Trade Related Aspects of IPRs(TRIPS) agreement of the General Agreement on Tariffs & Trade (GATT), forcing Indian generic producers like Cipla, Ranbaxy, Natco and Hetero to withdraw their production and sale of generic versions of the drug for the domestic market. Novartis was charging Rs 12 lakh per patient per year, the charges 12 times more than the Indian generic versions. The matter went to the Supreme Court against granting of EMR to Novartis, claiming that it was only a “modification” of an already existing drug. International criteria of patentability are : (a) novelty, (b) utility, and (c) adequate disclosure. Accordingly, the drug did not meet the criteria of inventiveness as laid out in the Indian Patent Act, And, the price non-affordable, violative of the right to life under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution. Hence, the Novartis claim of inventiveness has been rejected. The issue of invention/novelty is important because India is a large player in the production of generic medicines in the world over, mostly in 87 developing countries.

4- Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in Nano-Electronics Sector (summary)
Abstract: Nanotechnology is being heralded as a new technological paradigm that will have a significant impact on all aspects of human life in the coming decades. Nano-electronics industry is a driving force behind significant economic and structural changes in the world markets. The pace of technological change within the sector and its broad impact on most, if not all, other industries make it an extremely rich area to study. This paper will examine how intellectual property rights (IPR) have played a role in the development of the nano-electronics industry as a whole and also how IPR has influenced the activities of nanotechnology firms and has, in many respects, forced them to take a 'core competencies' approach prior to the mainstream popularity of the notion. It is argued that, IPR and patents in particular, have played an increasingly important role in the nano-electronics industry, particularly with regards to their financial impact on firm strategies.

6- Learning that Could be Revitalized Through Recognizing Students' Capital Intelligence (summary)
Abstract: The purpose of this article is to introduce a new prospective focusing on students' capital intelligence on learning rather than the old traditional and even recent international trend governing learning management in education. In the legacy of traditional learning pernialism has developed into existentialism, behaviorism into constructivism, and management style into democracy but all of them need to be integrated through the new model for the plus learning. In recent education, Taxonomy of learning has been the critical issue but learning focusing on individual capital intelligence is a plus and a new prospective to revitalize learning. In this respect, learning would be identified through critical features such as using the individual innate capitals, creativity, innovation, inductive thinking, and curiosity, for the improving nurturing and instructing effects of education for well- developed individuals. Methodology of this research follows the steps of discovering the main items for open-ended researcher-made written interviews through which survey the needs to change traditional and recent learning. Critical items discovered through the first part of research were items that were classifying for rationalizing the use of capital intelligence in learning. The teaching scenario in which the model was embedded for teaching "the world art history" in Tehrans' vocational school districts were introduced and the views of teachers were investigated through a 57 items valid and reliable researcher-made five scale Likert questionnaire. In this semi-experimental research with control groups, and pre-post test the gap between theory and practice in existing and desired capital intelligence model on student' academic achievements, nurturing and instructional effects were measured. The findings indicate the model is desirable, applicable and effective in increasing academic achievement, nurturing and instructing skills. These findings are spring boards for the use of the model for the other districts in Tehran city and the other teaching subjects in all the different levels of education.

9- From Physical Capital to intellectual Capital An Investigation of relationship Between Modified Human Development and Economic Growth A Comparision of Developed and Developing Countries (summary)
Abstract: The central position of human being in the production function and in the process of economic growth and economic developent has been acknowledged and taken into account by many social scientists and economists. From Adam Smith’s keen attention to labour force and its function the production and growth of wealth of nations in 18th century to Amartya Sen’s emphasis on capabilities and entitlements or in short on ‘human development’ that then ended in formation, conception and preparation of Human Development Index (HDI) by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), all confirm the significance of the subject. Although in the last two hundred years, neo-classical economics has considered only ‘labour, and physical capital’ as factors of production and regarded knowledge, productivity, education, and intellectual capital as exogenous factors but New Growth Theory based on work of Paul Romer and others who have attempted to deal with the causes of long-term growth, something that traditional economic models have had difficulty with. Following from the work of economists such as Joseph Schumpeter, Robert Solow and others, Romer has proposed a change to the neo-classical model by seeing technology (and the knowledge on which it is based) as an intrinsic part of the economic system. Knowledge has become the third factor of production in leading economies (Romer, 1986; 1990). A ‘knowledge economy’ or ‘knowledge-based economy’ is one in which knowledge is the key resource. One in which the generation and the exploitation of knowledge has come to play the predominant part in the creation of wealth. It is not simply about pushing back the frontiers of knowledge; it is also about the more effective use and exploitation of all types of knowledge in all manner of economic activity. The value of an enterprise is made of physical assets, various financial assets and, finally, intangible assets, i.e., intellectual capital (IC).The term intellectual capital conventionally refers to the difference in value between tangible assets (physical and financial) and market value. Measuring the real value and the total performance of intellectual capital`s components is essential for any economic system in the knowledge and information age. This aricle reviews briefly the evolution of the concept of capital from physical capital to itellectual capital. Then, it concentrate on the Modified Human Development(MHD), a specific evolution of Human Capital ( one of the components of Intellectual Capital(IC)) and its relationship with economic growth. The article ends with a statisical comparision of low income, medium income and high income developed and developing countries outcoming from an OLS estimation of data from1980 to 2008 of selected countries.

11- Knowledge Generation Capacity of OIC Countries (summary)
Abstract: The present state of nations is the result of the accumulation of all discoveries, inventions, improvements, perfection and exertions of all generations which have lived before us: they form the intellectual capital of present human race, and every separate nation is productive only in the proportion in which it has known how to appropriate those attainments of former generations and to increase them by its own acquirements. (Friedrick List, 1841).
Knowledge and innovation are increasingly recognized as critical for social and economic development. The linear model of knowledge flows from university laboratories to the production sector has been discarded in favour of innovation system which is based on networks and linkages between the productive sectors,their suppliers and buyers and institutions of higher learning and research. External to these are other important factors such as macroeconomic and political stability and continuity of development policies. The nation’s differencein development is due to the difference in their technology capabilities (Abramovitz, 1989). Economic studies estimate that half of the economic growth in the developed countries isdue to technical change (Bell and Pavit, 1992) Christopher Freeman in his study of Japan has discussed the strong linkages and networks between institutions responsible for import, adaptation, modification and diffusion of new technologies. He promoted the concept of national innovation system (NSI).The NSI perspective refers to a new understanding of innovation as an interactive process in which enterprises alone or in interaction with each other play a key role in bringing new products, new processes and new forms of organization into economic use…In the present era of internationalization, the critical issue becomes of how to integrate NSIs into international division of labour. This may be done through exploring how well each NSIis capable of drawing on a rapidly growing generic knowledge,which is not necessarily produced in the country itself (Holbrook,CPROST Report,97-06).

13- Training Integration of Convergent and Divergent Thinking: A Way for the Development of Intellectual Capital in Organizations (summary)
Abstract: Human resources are the main wealth of any organization. Today, what distinguishes human resources is the type and shape of their thinking. Meanwhile, one of the major challenges of human resources in any organization is the ability of creative problem solving. Creative problem solving consists of successive steps of the Divergence thinking to the convergent thinking that periodically appear.
One of the important tools for developing creative skills in problem solving is divergent thinking, which involves a variety of possible solutions to bring new ones. In this stage the thoughts goes for numerous and diverse ways. It means that the more flexible, more authentic and more fluid is greater divergence and thus it is this kind of more creative thinking.
In the past, divergent thinking was the same as creative thinking, but today is believed that creative thinking is the cooperation and integration of convergent and divergent thinking. Through training the integration of convergent and divergent thinking, people are taught, exposing any problem, examining possible solutions and then choose the best solution. In other words, both divergent thinking and convergent thinking are used. So we can say that creativity involves both types of thinking, however, is more correlated with divergent thinking.
The purpose of this article is to pay attention to the importance of training this skill in the development and management of intellectual capital in organizations.

15- Barriers to Knowledge Commercialization in Universities and academic entrepreneurship (The Case of University of Tehran) (summary)
Abstract: Regarding the importance of knowledge as the main competitive advantage in the world economy, it seems necessary for the universities, as the main institution of knowledge generation, to participate in national and regional economic development. This becomes more evident if the need for income earning and knowledge commercialization for survival of the universities and existence of barriers to integral exploitation of universities' intellectual properties, are considered. In this study, is tried to identify the main barriers of this process in university of Tehran. The results of this study show that “incentivizing of income sharing” is the most important factor in promotion of knowledge commercialization and academic entrepreneurship. On the other hand, according to the results of this survey, “Bureaucracy and inflexibility of university’s management system”, “lack of networks and communications among academians, industrialists and investors”, were identified as the most important barriers to knowledge commercialization in this university.

16- Empirical Investigation of the Relationship between IC and WACC in TSE (summary)
Abstract: Today, organizations should identify measure and manage their intangible assets if they tend to maximize their goal achievements. Intellectual Capital (IC) regards as one of the most important components of intangible assets. Since the capital cost is the basic factor in capital budgeting, financing and performance evaluation decisions, this paper is to investigate empirically the relationship between IC and Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) in Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) over years 1384 -1388. In this research, we expected to find a significant negative relationship between IC and WACC. We test the research hypothesis using Excel and SPSS software. The results of Pearson correlation and regression analysis confirm existence of a significant negative relation between IC and WACC in TSE. In other words, we can expect lower levels of WACC in firms with higher levels of IC. This result provides a valuable and clear evidence for the significant influence of IC on firms’ performance improvement through decreasing firms’ WACC.
