چکیده:
About a decade has passed since the establishment of science and technology parks and less than a decade since the creation of growth centers to support technology entrepreneurs in the form of establishing knowledge-based companies. From this perspective, it is necessary to conduct research on technology entrepreneurs, technology entrepreneurship, new technology-based businesses, or knowledge-based companies in the country. This research examines the key elements influencing the development of technology entrepreneurship in knowledge-based companies located in science and technology parks at the national level. The present research is descriptive and multiple correlation, which is done using structural equation modeling. The statistical population includes entrepreneurs working in eight provinces of the country (Tehran, Razavi Khorasan, Isfahan, Fars, East Azerbaijan, Gilan, Kerman, and Yazd). Finally, data were collected from 203 active technology entrepreneurs and founders of knowledge-based companies based on a questionnaire and analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results show that elements such as government, university, capital, infrastructure, market/customers, consultants, and technology entrepreneurs are the most important factors influencing the development of technology entrepreneurship.
خلاصه ماشینی:
The results show that elements such as government, university, capital, infrastructure, market/customers, consultants, and technology entrepreneurs are the most important factors influencing the development of technology entrepreneurship.
A series of measures taken over the past three decades, such as “the establishment of the Industrial Research and Science Organization of Iran,” “the creation of numerous funds for technology development in the country,” “the drafting of the Vision Document,” “the revision of Article 44 of the Constitution with the aim of strengthening the private sector,” “attention to the issue of entrepreneurship and the knowledge-based economy in the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Development Plans,” “the establishment of science and technology parks and growth centers,” and “the founding of the Innovation and Prosperity Fund” to support entrepreneurs and knowledge-based companies, indicate policymakers’ decision to embrace such changes.
Factors such as capital, especially venture capital 2, where investors participate in the equity and sometimes even in the management of a business and share its risks, infrastructure 3, both hardware and software, such as transportation systems, networking in the field of information technology, creating scientific databases at local, national, and international levels, consultants, both natural and legal persons who provide specialized advice in various areas of a business, the market/customers as buyers of produced products, each play a significant role in the field of technology entrepreneurship development and innovation (Prodan, 2009: 34).
The research hypotheses confirmed the impact of identified factors (stimulation of supply and demand for entrepreneurship, infrastructure, university, technology entrepreneur, market, consultants, and capital) on entrepreneurship development.
