        Producing engineering complex systems that have high performance, reliability and value is one of the most important today’s technology market challenges. Appropriate response to these challenges will require the integration of a number of the technologies. It is possible trough Mechatronics (a synergetic combination of various sciences in engineering technologies). This paper provides a systematic and conceptual model of the factors affecting the mechatronic technology commercialization process in small businesses. Therefore, mechatronics technology commercialization process has been studied in seven small enterprises. A grounded theory has been used for analyzing Influencing factors. The conceptual model which is based on in-depth interviews with managers of successful companies in the commercialization of this technology has been derived.The pattern obtained from this study indicates mechatronics technology as a major issue that is affected by the specialized knowledge, experience and collaboration between engineers from various disciplines of engineering. The ultimate aim of technology commercialization is to obtain more financial profits. Engineers can use their special skills to sell technology to the manufacturers. These skills are appropriate for various situations and different factors underlying medium and different qualifications Manuscript profile
