چکیده:
Innovation ability plays an important role in economic growth not only in under-
developed countries, but also in advanced countries, especially when markets are
in recession. In this paper, we analyzed changes in major developments in the
context of innovation capacity and the causality relation between innovation and
its sources through an empirical study based on the automotive subcontractor
network, which has experienced a number of architectural innovations. We showed
that most of innovation sources (information sharing, organizational size,
investment in R&D, and knowledge volume) are the accelerators or "effects"
rather than the stimulators or "causes" of innovation.

In one hand, manufacturer need to cooperation with subcontractors to minimize the cost of production through organizational learning, sharing information and data transferring in subcontractor network required promoting innovative abilities.
Independent variable 4 : trust The variable (TRUST) is a rank variable from 1 to 3 based on Likert scale and is measured by asking the questions about propensity of manufacturers to adopt of theirs subcontractors in order to develop a new product or process and to reinforce this cooperation during relationship period.

As you see through the following tables, examination of different sources of innovations including, 1)knowledge, 2) information sharing, 3) organizational size, 4) investment in R&D, 5)uncertainty, 6) trust, 7)cultural gap and 8)relationship duration shows that four first of these sources are the accelerators or "effects" rather than stimulators or "causes" of innovation."
