The findings showed a significant relationship between all four variables. Regression model consists of three independent variables and a fit model so that dependent and independent variables could explain innovation standardized beta coefficient of the company , co- suppliers, customers , R & D capacity and a significance level of their technology shows. As a result that customer with a beta coefficient of 0.54 is the highest share in explaining innovation and firm size with a beta coefficient of 0.09 lowest share in explaining the importance of innovation.
