Abstract :

The analysis of the business environment in Iran shows that one of the reasons for the slow growth and productivity of knowledge-based companies in Iran is the difficult financing conditions of these companies. The purpose of this article is to identify the constituent components of the model of entrepreneurial strategies for financing knowledge enterprises in Iran. The research method is applied and, in terms of data collection, it has a hybrid approach (qualitative-quantitative) of exploratory type. Knowledge enterprises form the statistical population of the research. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire based on the results of qualitative research, designed and distributed among the statistical sample. To analyze statistical data, descriptive and inferential statistics, SPSS and Lisrel software was used. The findings of the research showed that the most essential components of the model of entrepreneurial strategies for financing knowledge enterprise are: cognitive capital (2.95), relational capital (average 2.88), structural capital (average 3.32), and social capital (average 3.05). As a result, in forming entrepreneurial strategies, the contextual and structural components were directed so that they could ultimately help the company's financing strategy.
