        Today, the rapid increase in the cost of higher education and its quality and reduced public support for universities and higher educational institutions around the world on the one hand and rapid technological advances and the needs of economic systems for scientific knowledge ,on the other hand, academic system is converted into knowledge industry.. Increased productivity at universities is dependent upon the amount of research and development done which in terms of theoretical principles is called institutional research. In recent decades, the most important Iran’s economic problem has been low investment in the creation of knowledge and promotion of productivity. It is desirable for Iran’s universities to become knowledge based. So IR is the most suitable approach to achieve this goal. While the unit of Institutional Research of the world's most prestigious universities is created to strengthen university-industry collaboration, , it has been neglected in Iran’s universities. This research attempts to explain the concept of IR and identify the methods which can be implemented through the study of theoretical principles and Delphi technique. Manuscript profile

        : Development of communication industry and university on mutual basis, needs and capabilities, is carried out and models presented by the experts on this basis has been designed and implemented. Industry related to government and state universities has made an organic government impact in a way that the direction of industry and university development policies have been largely in accordance with the political requirements of the country over last century. Constitutional accomplishment of Article No. 44 and the growing trend in the privatization companies and government organizations follows this principle, certainly increased competition between these companies and organizations’ that are creating new fields of application for increasing competitive capacity and maintain standards of goods and services. Constitutional accomplishment of Article No. 44, public universities, due to initial state governing backgrounds, being strictly in accordance with the government rules, cannot make their principle contributions to increasing demand by society and industry sectors. Moreover, as the government role is decreased and faded out, lack of legal mechanisms of governance for development and university industry relationship, caused this relationship being shifted from Government command to personal command. A relationship which is requirement and background is unknown. In this article we intend to investigate mutual needs and capabilities from the industry and universities point of view to transition procedure from state institutions to non-governmental organizations Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this research was to identify the factors influencing degree orientation in the country's higher education. The research method is the qualitative content analysis method of the document analysis type, and it is classified in the field of applied research. The statistical population of the research included research articles related to degree orientation in the country's higher education. The number of 15 articles in the 20-year period from 1380 to 1400 was selected using the purposeful sampling method. After selecting the research articles, in order to analyze the qualitative data obtained from the analysis of the research documents, open coding and axial coding and selective encoding were used. In the first stage 330 concepts were identified. In the second stage, all the identified concepts were classified into 24 more general components and finally the factors affecting degree orientation in the higher education system can be divided into 3 main categories of political and structural conditions (6 components), the country's scientific and educational environment (10 components) and social and cultural conditions (8 components) were classified. Some of those factors are rooted in the educational system and the scientific environment of the country, as well as the structure and function of the university and the management methods of the university. One part is rooted in the structural and political system and is caused by the functional bias of the trustee and government institutions, and the other part is rooted in the social and cultural system.
