Abstract :
The aim of the present study is to rank the leather manufacturing units from the perspective of the entrepreneurship features of the organization's staffs. Accordingly, the present article presents a model based on the theory of the fuzzy sets to determine the entrepreneurship score in the organization from the perspective of the entrepreneurship features of the staffs. This model has five stages. In the first stage, the input and output variables of the model are obtained based on the existing theories. The model inputs consist of creativity, innovation, risk-taking, responsibility and seeking success. In the second stage, inputs and outputs are converted to fuzzy numbers after partitioning. In the third stage, the inference rules, which are in the form of if-and-therefore rules, are edited based on the literature of the topic and comments of the experts. In the fourth stage, defuzzification is done, and in the fifth stage, the designed model is tested. The test results show that the presented model has a high validity. Finally, the score of organizational entrepreneurship for the leather manufacturing units is calculated using the designed model. The sample of the present research is 11 leather manufacturing units in the East Azarbaijan province which has 20 or more employees. Due to the limited number of the population, the total population has been surveyed. In order to collect data, a reliable and valid questionnaire was used. The results indicate that Aida, Shahgoli and Markazi Leather companies are ranked first through third, respectively from the perspective of entrepreneurship scores of 0.621, 0.626, and 0.604.
