It plays a crucial role in economic development, as the growth of entrepreneurship provides the foundation for economic progress. The entrepreneurial ecosystem comprises various actors, including entrepreneurs, governmental and non-governmental agents, and investors, all of which influence one another. The conditions of this ecosystem affect business performance and processes, ultimately impacting the country&rsquo;s economy. Therefore, it is essential to identify and consider the factors that foster the development of the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Since entrepreneurship is closely tied to new ideas, innovation is one of the most critical components of the ecosystem. Innovation manifests at economic, social, and even political levels, reflecting the characteristics of the system. This research investigates the impact of innovation on the development of Iran's entrepreneurial ecosystem. Using an applied study method and correlation analysis with Copula, the study analyzes data from the Global Entrepreneurship Index, Global Innovation Index, and economic growth for the period 2016&ndash;2023. Findings indicate that increasing innovation in Iran enhances economic growth. However, within the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem, results show caudal independence, suggesting that productivity increases in one area do not directly affect the other. The limited impact of innovation on Iran&rsquo;s entrepreneurial ecosystem may be attributed to the growing complexity and novelty in goods and services.</p>http://roshdefanavari.ir/Article/44955Entrepreneurship Economic Development Global Innovation Index Global Entrepreneurship Index CopulaperIS‌BAفصلنامه رشد فناوری1735-54861735-56642025-1021831020articleSaeed Ebrahimiebrahimi.Saead@gmail.com1Golnaz shiraziG.shirazi91@gmail.com2Municipality-<p>The knowledge-based urban development model views the city as an ecosystem that supports the sustainability of knowledge, which relies on achieving a knowledge-based economy. To realize such an economy&mdash;centered on the production, distribution, and application of knowledge&mdash;a platform for innovation creation is essential. Targeted interactions and knowledge exchange foster innovation among individuals, groups, and the creative class. Business ecosystems enhance productivity by facilitating collaboration and partnerships, with shared workspaces and accelerators serving as key components to bridge the gap between current and desired states through innovation. This research employs a system dynamics approach to model and simulate the roles and influences of key actors in the ecosystem of innovative businesses on urban development and the knowledge-based economy. The model comprises seven subsystems: population, education, information and communication technology infrastructure, research and development centers, knowledge-based companies, market, and employment, simulated using data collected through documentary methods for the period 2017&ndash;2018. Findings indicate that increased support for accelerators and collaborative spaces for knowledge-based companies drives employment growth and strengthens companies&rsquo; financial power, thereby facilitating knowledge-based urban development through the establishment of a knowledge-based economy.</p>http://roshdefanavari.ir/Article/45505Knowledge-based urban development knowledge-based economy business ecosystem innovation system dynamics Isfahan metropoliperIS‌BAفصلنامه رشد فناوری1735-54861735-56642025-1021832131articlemilad bakhshamda.miladbakhsham@gmail.com1mahdi hosseinpourM.hosseinpour@razi.ac.ir2masoumeh ayenehmasomehayneh@gmail.com3PhD Student in Entrepreneurship, Department of Economics and Entrepreneurship, Faculty of Social Sciences, Razi University, Kermanshah, Iran.Assistant Professor, Department of Management and Entrepreneurship, Department of Economics and Entrepreneurship, Faculty of Social Sciences, Razi University, Kermanshah, IranMaster of Business Management , Marketing, Payam Noor University, Tehran, Iran<p>Today, tourist destinations, like other businesses, strive to differentiate themselves from competitors and offer unique experiences to customers.

Employee-driven job design, such as job crafting, has emerged as a key approach in human resource development. Job crafting refers to self-initiated changes that employees make to their jobs to optimize job design and enhance the fit between their roles and personal needs and preferences. By actively modifying aspects of their work, employees create meaning in their roles and influence job design from a bottom-up perspective. Job crafting is an effective tool for improving job engagement, creativity, job satisfaction, performance, and person-job fit. This article reviews research on job crafting, clarifies its concept, and discusses job crafting models that help organizations achieve competitive advantage by attracting and retaining engaged employees. Additionally, an overview of current studies highlights the positive effects of job crafting dimensions on both employees and organizations. Given these benefits, it is valuable for organizations to create conditions that encourage employees to craft their own jobs, aligning tasks with their abilities, needs, and skills, ultimately yielding advantages for both employees and the organization.</p>http://roshdefanavari.ir/Article/45544Job Crafting Job Redesign Human Resource Development Job Crafting Models Job Engagement Performance.perIS‌BAفصلنامه رشد فناوری1735-54861735-56642025-1021835260articlemohammad mahdi davalidavali@pnu.ac.ir1Shoorangiz Rezaeidavalimehdi@gmail.com2Payame noor universitypayame noor university<p>This research aims to examine the effect of satisfaction with waiting time and the use of self-service technology on the stability of customer loyalty, adopting a practical approach among passengers of Ayatollah International Airport in Larestan.

The realistic Metaverse mirrors the characteristics of the physical world, allowing businesses to perform legal actions, including conducting transactions. The primary question this research seeks to answer is: What is the nature of the Metaverse, what are its characteristics, and what challenges might its recognition pose within Iran's legal system for business presence and activity? To address this question, the present qualitative study employs a documentary method in two main discourses. The first discourse explores the concept and characteristics of the Metaverse, while the second examines the legal challenges associated with its recognition. These challenges include issues related to ownerless property, performance guarantees, ethical concerns, material and intellectual property rights, and the qualification of participants. In conclusion, the study provides strategic recommendations to address these challenges, including the establishment of an international forum to resolve transnational legal issues, the recognition of cryptocurrencies, the development of mechanisms for user authentication, and public awareness initiatives to navigate freedom of expression concerns.</p>http://roshdefanavari.ir/Article/46211Metaverse Avatar Business Challenge Iranian Law.
