With the discovery of the field of nanotechnology in the last two decades, there has been a tremendous field of entrepreneurship development, including technological entrepreneurship. The existence of very large markets and the interconnection of research and scientific fields has led to a lot of entrepreneurship. Meanwhile, the study of factors affecting the discovery of technological entrepreneurship opportunities can be of great importance. Because these factors can be strengthened, they have expanded the field for entrepreneurship in the field of nanotechnology. A review of studies has shown that such a model has not been studied in internal and external research. Therefore, the present study investigates the phenomenon of discovering technological opportunities for entrepreneurship in the field of nanotechnology. For this purpose, the present paper studies the basic views on the discovery of entrepreneurial opportunities and the evolution of its theories. Then, 11 knowledge based companies in the field of nanotechnology were investigated. The analysis technique in this research is grounded in theory and the data collected from the interviews were taken in three stages and finally the final model was presented. Manuscript profile

Until recently, scientists and researchers in the universities refused the commercialization of academic research, and their main mission was merely the production of knowledge without reversing its application in the field of industrial production. It continued until knowledge emerged as a unique source of competitive advantage. Today, universities have shown a great desire to commercialize academic research, and commercialization of intellectual property has become the institutional goal of many academic systems.Commercialization plays an important role in introducing the products and services of knowledge- intensive companies to the market in order to generate economic benefits. Therefore, the present research aims to prioritize the factors affecting the commercialization of products in knowledge- intensive companies based in Pardis Technology Park (aka Iran Silicon Valley) using FAHP technique. In order to achieve this goal, a comprehensive overview of literature related to the current research, opinions, and comments of 82 experts and elites has been used to achieve results.The results of this research show that technological factors are the most important factor in the commercialization of products and services. Also, the sub-factors of research and development capacity, management commitment, government support, and competitive strategy have been the most important factor from the experts’ point of view.

Background and Objective: One of the most prominent hypothesis in environmental economics is the Porter hypothesis. The Porter hypothesis argues that more stringent environmental policies can actually have a net positive effect on the competitiveness of regulated firms because such policies promote cost-cutting efficiency improvements, which in turn reduce or completely offset regulatory costs, and foster innovation in new technologies that may help firms achieve international technological leadership and expand market share. Given the importance of this hypothesis to policymakers and firms, many studies have been conducted to prove or disprove this hypothesis. Material and Methodology: in this study, we used panel smooth transition regression for 25 OECD members during 2000-2015. Findings: the results indicated that the weighted indicator of environmental policy stringency in linear and nonlinear part of the model had positive and significant effects on increasing the number of selected environmental technologies. The coefficient of variation was estimated to be 0.142 in the linear part and 0.213 in the nonlinear part. The speed of transition between the two regimes of weighted growth index of environmental policies, according to the estimated transition parameter, is 3.17. Discussion and Conclusion: Analysis of results shows that when the weight index growth of environmental policies is low, the severity of the impact of independent and control variables on the number of selected environmental technologies will vary. Given the experience of developed countries, improving the state of the legal system and property rights, increasing official and state aid for environmental development, and increasing state funding for environmental research and development can play an effective role in improving competitiveness and enhancing enterprise innovation.   Manuscript profile

The present study aimed at presenting a model for the use of the Internet of Things in Iranian knowledge-based companies. In terms of exploration and data collection, this applied research is a qualitative and quantitative one. The main approach for achieving the model of using the Internet of Things is the grounded theory methodology which is based on a paradigmatic model. In the qualitative part, 25 executives and practitioners of knowledge-based companies who were somehow specialized and experienced in the Internet of Things were interviewed. They were selected through snowball method. For the quantitative part, all managers and technology experts working in knowledge-based companies were considered as the research population. Cochran's formula for finite communities was used to select the sample. After careful analysis of the interviews, 59 extracted concepts were identified in 5 main categories and 13 subcategories. It was found that management requirements, customer requirements, and resistance economics give rise to the Internet of Things in the knowledge-based companies.  The characteristics of the company, the human resources and the managers can provide a suitable ground for using the Internet of Things. Moreover, it was revealed that and the conditions in the country, international pressure and international cooperation can be among the intermediary factors influencing the use of the Internet of Things. Raw materials and infrastructure can also be effective for using the Internet of Things.

The most important advantage of competitive global businesses is now considered to be quick responsiveness in meeting the diverse needs of customers. Therefore, many experts in Management consider agility as the key to the success of organizations in the dynamic and unpredictable era. Numerous definitions of agility have been proposed through close scrutiny of various factors. In this study, we aimed to identify major agility-related factors based on a comprehensive theoretical and empirical literature review. Having integrated the opinions of experts and local agents based on the Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) technique, we scrutinized the extent of the driving and dependence power of these factors in knowledge-based companies that are rapidly gaining ground. The results obtained from the analysis of nineteen identified major agility-related factors showed that structural flexibility of organizations and data analysis are the most penetrating drivers and environmental accountability and the capacity to modify business goals are the most dependent factors Manuscript profile

At the age of continuous advances, the times of value added, the age of numerous activities with limited facilities, and finally, the times of productivity enhancement, an improper system of performance appraisal could be an important deficiency. In this article, in order to prevent the cosequences of the unfavorable appraisal system in East Azerbaijan Branches of Islamic Azad University, we have tried to present a model of fuzzy tree to investigate the methods of the performance appraisal of the employees and to select, on the basis of this model, the right performance appraisal method for each branch. To do this, first the researchers recognized the effective factors in identifying the method of the performance appraisal, and then, by using these factors, the performance appraisal methods of employees was investigated. In this regard, the viewpoints of professors and the experts of human resources management have been used. By using the knowledge obtained from the experts of human resources management, a knowledge base was created, and through the use of the knowledge base and algorithm  and fuzzy sets, the model of fuzzy tree was offered. Then by distributing the questionnaire, the values of each variable (the effective factors in identifying the performance appraisal method) for each branch were identified. Ultimately, by using these obtained values, the priority of the methods of performance appraisal for each branch were specified. Later, by applying the fuzzy multi-criterion decision making, the researchers identified the priority of selecting the appraisal methods for each of these branches on the basis of decision value.
