Abstract :

the purpose of the present research is to represent the conceptual model and draw a strategic map for entrepreneurial organization in the Custom of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Present research is an analytical-descriptive study that is conducted in the three interrelated stages. In the first stage, the most important criteria and features of the entrepreneurial organization in the Custom of the Islamic Republic of Iran has been recognized and screened using fuzzy Delphi method. In the second stage, the relations among criteria are recognized using fuzzy DEMATEL method, and in the final stage, the features of entrepreneurial organization are ranked through interpretive structural modeling method. The statistical population of this study includes experts and administrators of the custom organization in Tehran province from which 28 persons were selected through judgmental-purposive sampling method. Research findings showed that 17 indices, among 48 explored indices, approved by experts. On the basis of Fuzzy DEMATEL test, it is revealed that 8 variables have causation role and 9 variables have effectuation role. On the other, the interpretive structural modeling approach showed that variables are categorized into six levels that in the meantime, the capital resources variable (structural, human, and interactional, …), as the infrastructural factors, have more power of influence in the Custom of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
