Abstract

Examining the environment and institutional factors is one of the strongest views about studying the social circumstances leading to innovation. This can open up a new way to recognizing technological innovation and most of existing hurdles. For this reason, we have divided the effective institutions on the innovative system of military industries and by utilizing experts' views, we have compared some instances of these institutions in the past and present. They consist of: cognitive institutions that relate to ideological values and principles, mental habits and schemes; behavioral institutions that express social habits and fixed behavioral procedures; cooperative institutions that direct intra/ inter- organizational standards; legal institutions which involve laws and regulations; and finally constitutional institutions which act as references and large scale regulations dominating the innovative system. Therefore, according to the institutional view, when shifting to the future military industries (small nucleus – big network), the pertinent context in the above- mentioned sections needs to be developed next to the technical dimensions of innovation.
