Not much knowledge about these drivers has been developed for developers of complex products. The purpose of this research is to identify the aforementioned drivers with a mixed methodology and an exploratory approach. The statistical population includes experts in the development of complex defense products, who were selected by the purposeful sampling method. The triangulation approach (review of research background, review of industry strategic documents and formation of focal groups) was used to identify the mentioned drivers. 81 experts participated in 8 focus groups. Thematic analysis method was used to extract important drivers. To achieve group agreement, 26 policy-level experts participated in two fuzzy Delphi steps. 54 sub-drivers related to 8 main drivers in order of governance and effective policy-making; entrepreneurial leadership; creative and motivated human capital, generating assets and stabilizing resources; Open and effective approach in knowledge, research, and innovation; flexibility of manufacturing processes; development of cooperation and long-term relationships with the network; Market development and intimate relationships with customers were identified. Sub-drivers with priority corresponding to each main driver were identified. The internal drivers of business model innovation have been introduced as a research stream.
