As an important dimension of company performance, the impact of supply chain quality management (SCQM) on innovation performance has not been studied in internal studies. In addition, internal research into the capabilities of SCQM, a key driver for SCQM, has been very limited. To fill this research gap, this paper examines how SCQM capabilities and SCQM performance can influence firm innovation and operational performance, and how they interact with each other. For this purpose, the information of managers and experts active in the food industry in Golestan province was collected and analyzed through a questionnaire. Research findings show that SCQM practices have a positive effect on SCQM capabilities. Another result is that SCQM methods do not have a positive effect on the operational performance of food industries in Golestan province. This finding is significantly different from some previous studies. We also found that SCQM capabilities do not have a positive effect on innovation performance.

Following Chesbrough's statements of open innovation as a spectrum rather than a dichotomy, many studies have been conducted to reflect the dynamics in its implementation in the form of typologies, modes, themes, and mechanisms. These studies, with considering only some aspects of the innovation process, have tried to develop a method for classifying and providing a model for adoption of open innovation. After reviewing the literature and interviewing with experts, the components and factors in each implementation step were obtained. Finally, to analyze and plot the interrelationships between the various components of the open innovation model DMATELE technique was used. Consequently, the open innovation model was determined in the study company. This model is the result of a chain of decisions in relation to each component of OI model within the phases of the innovation process. The decision chains include: selecting the “pre-print” domain as content of the model, choosing the direction of “market driven –invitational” for actors, and choosing mechanisms for increasing “absorptive capacity”, “transformative and connective capacity”, and “desorptive capacity.”
