        Enjoying an effective national innovation system, is one of the most important factors affecting rapid expansion of economy in developing countries. Offering an innovation in products, processing, marketing, resources of materials and other inputs, and industrial organizing is provided by an effective national innovation system.In this research, Innovation interactions between universities, industries and government as main actors of national innovation system of Iran are studied. Based on the thesis, The potential of universities to solve the problems of industries is very good but interaction between industries, universities and government is weak. This article focuses on innovation interactives between actors of national innovation system of Iran. According to innovation system theory, innovation and technology development are results of a complex set of relationships among actors in the system, which includes enterprises, universities and government research institutes. At the first stage of initiation, the authors have studied library resources, articles and Internet information network, based on OECD research class category. The second stage of initiation is a field research investigation through designed questionnaires and interviews with 100 persons of policymakers, officials, executives and various related national innovation system at Khorasan Razavi State and Mashhad in Iran. Finaly, some strategic recommrndations for improving the interactions between main actors of national innovation system of Iran and the institutional mapping of Innovation model are suggested .

        National innovation system(NIS) includes a series of organizations and institutions at the national level which aims to incorporate  in developing and diffusion of science and technology and creates innovation climate.  Governments in this system  develop and implement  their innovation policy. In systemic approach besides problems of  each elements of this system ,there is another failure which related to interactions of the system elements, that is called systemic failure. In this research , at first by reviewing the literature  conceptual framework of national innovation system of Iran is presented. Then, in a field study by distribution of 350 questionnaires among Iranian innovation experts  and specialists and using structural equation modeling technique , analyzing of interactions and their impacts on each other and effectiveness of national innovation system has been done. In this research, the elements of NIS of Iran consists of strategies of  transfer and diffusion of technology, structural elements, innovation drivers  and legislations frameworks. Findings of this research show that the most important systemic failure of NIS of Iran  is lack of effectiveness of legislations frameworks’  impacts on innovation drivers. Identification and analysis of systemic failures can lead to appropriate policies for each elements and at last upgrade the performance of national innovation system. Manuscript profile

        If universities functioned in a stable environment, the demands for leadership would be modest. Mission, vision, programs, strategies, and policies could simply be put on automatic pilot. Automatic pilots don’t work for universities. Environment is in continual context, and the results and consequences of these changes for the future of universities are profound. Sound, creative and empowering leadership is indispensable, and it spells the difference between productive, sustainable universities and those that are in continual crisis and failing. One need only reflect on the change that has come about in university over the last century. The very mission and scale of universities have been transformed. Universities are altering the ways and means of teaching and learning. New directions and methods in research and service to society are evolving. The costs-benefits of the academic enterprise are in continual fluctuation and open to challenge. The roles of faculty are different, as are campus cultures. The very definition of precisely who is served and touched by universities is in transition. Leading change is clearly the most difficult and taxing challenge faced by university managers and leaders. Occupying a position of leadership and exercising the role of manager and leader are entirely different.Too many positions of leadership are filled by those who occupy the chair and carry the title but fail to lead universities in ways that enable them to adapt to a demanding environment, optimize their mission, align with values, and produce a lasting contribution to society. It does not speak to the position of leadership, to title, or to mere survival skills; rather it speaks to the creative act, the behavior, the hard work, and the skill and competency of leadership and management Manuscript profile
