“…Network is a general concept widely used, nowadays, in sociology, politics, economics and management, in which alliance formation and integration processes relate to negotiation, structure and agreements between partners based on social contracts (Asadifard et al, 2017; Mandal, 2016). The essence of collaboration configuration is based on vertical and horizontal integration, essentially accompanied by integrating complementary technology, knowledge sharing, resource integration, task coordination, process optimization and process monitoring (Duysters & Lokshin, 2011; Li et al, 2019).…”

“…Organizations should develop effective collaboration management to facilitate the completion of innovation activities, including the continuous collection of information on the progress of the alliance (Mandal, 2006). Moreover, adequate governance and management facilitate trust building, knowledge diffusion and continuity in relationships, encouraging a higher level of integration, network stability and effectiveness (Asadifard et al, 2017). Since 2016, JetBlue has increased the number of different partnerships in an innovation paradigm.…”

Collaboration plays a critical role in fostering innovation and value creation in the aviation sector. However, how factors and connections relate to the achievement of innovative outcomes in aviation require further investigation. This study investigates the key factors that create a conceptual framework by conducting a literature review and an archival analysis of news articles. The model proposed involves factors such as strategic decision-making; networking and partner choice; cultural context, values, behaviour and compatibilities; collaboration configuration; issues and risks shared; skills, capacities and experience; infrastructure and resources available; engagement activities; knowledge transfer, absorption and appropriation; collaboration management; communication flows; external environment and demand; and expectations and outcomes. Promising collaborations are also indicated in areas where the framework could be adopted to increase partnerships and outcomes. Also, we highlight best practice examples from leading organizations, such as International Airlines Group (IAG), Emirates Airline, Singapore Airlines, Boeing and JetBlue, to provide insights into existing collaborations that have led to innovation and value creation in this sector.

“…Then, the competition between the companies not only forced them to develop internal capabilities but also forced them to establish collaboration networks (Fernández-Olmos and Ramírez-Ales on, 2017;Tsai, 2009). By building the network, knowledge is transmitted between individuals, assets are shared and development risks in industrial, commercial and economic sectors are reduced (Asadifard et al, 2017;Kapucu and Garayev, 2013). Also, the network can be a platform for innovation (Schøtt and Jensen, 2016).…”

“…However, the main focus of this research studies is on existing networks, not network creation (Birkinshaw et al, 2007). This is because the researchers often presumed that networks have been pre-existed before their investigations (Asadifard et al, 2017;Jack, 2010). Therefore, in the literature of networks, there are major weaknesses in theories concerning the formation and evolution of the network (Hoang and Antoncic, 2003).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is as follows: studying a case for technological innovation in Iran; studying the process of network creation; studying different challenges in finding, forming and performing of a collaboration network; studying comprehensive identification and analysis of the challenges in the network creation process; studying an active collaboration network in the field of medical equipment; and studying a network with different partners (consisting of a large company, a small- and medium-sized company, two subcontractors, three universities, a start-up, an accelerator and a venture capital fund). Design/methodology/approach The qualitative research method has been used because of a deep and rich analysis of the studied network. The study also provides an overview of finding and forming of partners and details of collaborations in the network, including partner’s goals from network entry, initial negotiations between members, business plan, shared resources and final results are expressed. The data used in this study has been collected by a totally seven semi-structured interviews. To analyze the collected data by open coding, the MAXQDA12 software was used and the basic concepts were identified and were categorized based on their similarities. Findings The studied network was identified as a strategic alliance. Details of finding, forming and performing of the studied network were explained. In total, 4 collaboration models and 28 different challenges in the network creation process were identified. In total, 28 different challenges were divided into 7 categories (based on their existence or absence in each of the 4 identified collaboration models). In total, seven categories of challenges were analyzed completely and the relations between challenges and partners of collaboration models were studied. Originality/value The collaboration network studied in this research involves several technological collaborations among different actors. Saadat, as the hub of this network, has been involved in all these collaborations, and other members have joined the network in accordance with network requirements and their capabilities. This network has been formed and developed with the aim of developing and producing various modules of vital signs monitoring since 2009. Some of the collaborations in this network, which are for production of a specific module and require long-term collaboration between the partners (such as the production of electrocardiograph or heart attack rapid diagnostic module), continue to be ongoing and some of them that focus on research and development or acquisition of technical knowledge (such as academic collaboration) after the specified result has been ended.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the behavioral science and technology as a reference for counseling clients. It concerns with the discovery of methods of changing human behavior in order to be one of the approaches to improve human happiness. When human conducts deviant behavior, he has been hurt even though in reality he seems to hurt others, so in fact he hurt himself. So by finding the pattern of technological change of behavior in the Quran then it shows the real practice of successful behavior change. When a person has succeeded in turning into a good behavior, he can keep the goodness and he will grow as well as make himself beneficial for himself and others. Behavioral changes must be properly spoken and practiced by the client as an indicator of behavioral change. Changing behavior does not only happen for a moment but the client should make his or her behavior a new style in his life. Thus the success of changing behavior in the context of counseling belongs to technology for human improvement, which is as good as the technology of other fields that are also born for the benefit of human beings.
