Abstract

Background and Objectives: The innovation value chain is one of the basic tools of the growth strategy in the organization, which increases the market share, competition in the market and entering new markets. The innovation value chain is considered as a "sequential, three-step process that includes idea generation, idea development, and the dissemination of developed concepts," and the key point is that if any link fails or is weak, the whole may fail. The process will fail regardless of the strength of other ties, so innovation actions regardless of the internal structure will probably lead to failure. In this article, an attempt has been made to locate the value chain of innovation as a key strategy in the science, technology and innovation development document of Hamedan province, and to examine the impact of this strategy in the proposed projects.
Materials and Methods: In this document, a set of primary strategies with three main goals, "Development of education and research system", "Support for knowledge-based development" and "Development of innovation ecosystem" has been compiled and by using AHP and TOPSIS methods, more than twenty projects have been ranked. Ten projects under the innovation value chain strategy have been prioritized and introduced, as well as actions and operational plans in this field have also been introduced
