“…Since changing and modifying any component of an innovation system, has positive and negative effects on components performance, these components cannot be individually modified. In fact, systematic view suggests that individual policy instruments applied in isolation are unlikely to have a dramatic impact on overall system performance (Polenakovik, Pinto 2010). Therefore, a systematic approach is necessary to analyse comprehensively the discrepancies in the components and relationships in the national innovation systems.…”

“…But based on the Edquist research about all the OECD researches on NIS, there is No exclusive pattern for a successful implementation of this system, so it's not possible to provide a model for testing NIS in an empirical way (Sharif 2006). In fact, the innovation system includes all the institutions involved in the chain: from idea generation to commercialization, and according to (Polenakovik, Pinto 2010): "System performance is often determined by the weakest link in the chain. This means that policy interventions should focus on the weaknesses".…”

This paper contributes to identify systematic problems in NIS using Thinking Process (TOC-TP) and to eliminate the bottlenecks, which results in improving the innovation process and efficiency of NIS. The Case study in this research is the NIS of Iran. The national documents of the innovation system were studied and all problems of NIS mentioned in documents were gathered. The causal relationships between the systematic problems were identified by the survey and grouped into 6 components by Exploratory Factor Analysis: weakness in technology diffusion mechanisms, the lack of centralized governance on science and technology policy, the government's pivotal role as an executor in education and research, weak laws and regulations in the field of research and technology, the lack of adequate financial resources in R&D and the lack of any perspective on the creation of wealth and entrepreneurship among the actors of research and technology. Finally the bottleneck of Iran's NIS was recognized by Thinking Process tools: the small participation of private sector in research and education system as the result of government's pivotal role as an executor of Iran's national innovation system. So the researchers could diagnose the policy gaps related to the identified bottlenecks.
