Abstract :
Background and objectives: Oil technology startups are a new form of start-up or entrepreneurial company that seeks to help the economy grow and sustain through research and development. These startups are based on the infrastructure they have technology-driven software for exploration; Extraction and production are considered to be able to develop knowledge capacities in the field of oil. The purpose of this study is to interpret the functions of the university entrepreneurship ecosystem to develop the infrastructure of oil technology startups.Material and Methodology: In this research, in order to identify the components (dimensions of infrastructure development of technological startups in the oil field) and research propositions (propositional themes of the functions of the university entrepreneurship ecosystem), combined analysis was used with the participation of 16 entrepreneurship experts at the university level. In the quantitative part, the identified components and propositions in the form of matrix questionnaires were interpreted by 20 managers and deputies at different university levels in Golestan province.Finding: The results showed that the proposition of human resource function as the most effective themes of the university entrepreneurship ecosystem that develops the capacity of oil technology knowledge management as a component of oil technology startups.Discussion and Conclusion: This result shows that under the most influential proposition of the university entrepreneurship ecosystem, namely, human resource function, the most likely scalable dimension of the infrastructure of oil technology startups is the capacity to manage oil technological knowledge.
