Innovation Culture Assessment by a Fuzzy Expert System (Case Study: An Iranian IT Company)

Despite the increasing interest of researchers to issues related to innovation and Specially, the role of organizational culture and its impact on innovation capacity there is not enough studies about innovation measurement. The purpose of this research is assessment of innovation culture of organizations by an intelligent system. Here, a Fuzzy Expert System has been designed with considering main effective variables on innovation culture assessment as Inputs variables and level of innovation culture as output. Then, the system rules have been extracted from some experts and the system has been developed with the use of FIS tool of MATLAB software. Finally, the presented steps have been run in an IT company as empirical study.
