Abstract :
an indispensable part of economic development programs in today's economies is considered to be Knowledge development. The competitive world economy has highlighted the role of knowledge for economic development policymakers than ever before. The experiences of leading prosperous countries that have reached economic development show that knowledge development foundations play a key role in increasing competitiveness in the global economy. Therefore, identifying the strengths and weaknesses of economic knowledge development is a prerequisite tool for making the right decisions to increase national economic competitiveness. To achieve this goal, international and regional institutions have attempted to design measurement methods to assess the knowledge-based economy since the 1990s. The main feature of existing models is their exclusive focus on the specifications in developed countries. The current study, however, deals with achieving an efficient measurement method for the knowledge-based economy in Iran. The proposed model is reliant on four main bases, 12 dimensions and 43 measurable indicators using a comparative method and a questionnaire. It comprises features such as comprehensiveness, measurability, efficiency, comparability, etc. and can be used as a native model to measure the comparative readiness and development of Iranian knowledge-based economy foundations.
