Abstract :
The aim of the research is to identify knowledge factors effective in designing and absorbing technology in knowledge-based centers and manufacturing industries, and to survey the effect of knowledge management on each factor, and successful technology transfer. The research method is descriptive of correlation type. In this research, using a simple stochastic method ,151 active people in technology transfer were selected from among scientific and research groups and 277 were selected from among large manufacturing industries. The data for the research were collected through questionnaires. Confirmed construct and factorial analysis were used to determine the validity, and for reliability, Chronbach alpha was employed. In order to study the relationship between research variables and to study hypotheses, the modeling of structural equations has been used with the help of SPSS and AMOS software.Findings indicate that there is a , significant, and positive relationship between knowledge management and technology effectiveness transfer. The only difference is that, knowledge management impacts directly on technology effectiveness transfer only in knowledge-based centers. Likewise, knowledge management indirect impact on successful technology transfer only through knowledge capability whose impact is on knowledge-based centers (35%)and on manufacturing industries(77%) .
