Abstract :
Innovation capability refers to a complete set of characteristics of the organization that facilitates innovation strategies, and the food industry plays a pivotal role in the processing of agricultural raw materials and food supply. The aim of the present study was to Identify and Analyze of the dimensions of innovation capability, clustering and ranking indexes in Urmia food industries. The sample size of the statistical population encompassing 221 companies was equal to 143 according to Cochran's formula. Obtaining required information was based on field study method. In the applied part of the study, exploratory factor analysis, clustering with K-MEANS algorithm and cluster ranking based on AHP technique were used. The results of the exploratory factor analysis showed that the relationship of each item with the factors classified into three categories was properly expressed. Companies with similar features but different from other clusters were put into 8 clusters. Finally, according to the weights of study variables, "human", "operability" and "structural” factors ranked first, second and last respectively.
