Today's organizations and companies are active in a complex but dynamic environment, interacting with each other. It can be said that with the increasing growth of technology and the speed of technological growth, companies are forced to use adaptive and innovative strategies to remain competitive, to respond to rapid changes, environmental uncertainty and customer and market needs. Technological entrepreneurship is a new, interdisciplinary and growing field. In this research, first, theories related to the areas of entrepreneurship and technology are explored then a model of technological entrepreneurship is also presented as the "Paradon" model. This model consists of seven components: Technology Entrepreneur, Universities, Companies, Capital, Customers and Market, Government and Consultants. This technological entrepreneurship model can help researchers in future research, as well as governments and sectors that intend to develop and promote technological entrepreneurship. Since, Nanotechnology is one of the sciences that has made remarkable progress in the world and has helped human beings in the production of new products, the technological entrepreneurship in the field of nanotech, and the ways of commercializing and entering the market considering related tools and related activities, such as: branching, licensing, intellectual property, commercial sales and domestic development have been described.

Thus, the design of e-readiness evaluation models, regarding the internal and environmental conditions of organizations and communities with the purpose of assessing their e-readiness level is necessary. However, without the evaluation of e-readiness of the organization, activity in the networked world will be impossible and have very high obstacles. In this paper, a brief introduction of the proposed models for the evaluation of the e-readiness and their classification have been discussed. Moreover, the factors influencing the e-readiness of the small and medium-sized enterprises to enter the e-commerce market have been investigated and detected through a combination approach of Shannon entropy. In this paper, after identifying and introducting existing models; the concepts, dimensions, and indices of the research were extracted and ranked by the Shannon entropy method. The results of this study show that the first ranked factors were organizational factors. Then environmental and man power factors were ranked second and third, respectively. Manuscript profile -

The purpose of this research is to develop the criteria for success in the development of technology and to obtain a thorough analysis of the effects of the criteria on each other in order to make the right decisions on the investment path. In this research, the criteria for success in technology development are identified and categorized by a new approach from the point of view of project, plan, and portfolio differentiation. For this purpose, after identification of the criteria, their significance was measured by Likert scale questionnaire and various statistical tests such as t-test. Finally, according to the main objective of this research in relation to examining the association between success factors in each level of the project, plan and portfolio, the internal connection of the criteria was analyzed using DEMATEL method. From the results of this research, it is possible to identify and categorize the success criteria in the projects, plan and portfolios of technology development, and to identify the most influential and most important criteria in each of the project groups, plan and portfolio. Also, how to measure the impact and relevance of success metrics with each other is provided through "Network Mapping" diagrams. Manuscript profile -

Technology is emerged in various aspects of human life and has many social and economic effects. But dealing with new technologies, along with its particular attractiveness of it, has always been with fear. The fear of losing a job position, fear of changing the behavior of people, fear of inability to work with technology and fear of unwanted and unknown effects of technology on individual and social life are always accompanied by the emergence of new technologies. The term "technophobia" was first introduced in 1947 to describe this panic. Technophobia, by creating resistance among technology adopters, delays the adoption of technology by a large number of people. In Iran, technophobia has been shown in many ways and with the emergence of various technologies; by the introduction of cars and their replacement with the gharries to the video player, mobile phone, information and communication technologies, biotechnology and mobile-developed businesses. So, familiarity with this concept and solutions to overcome, is necessary to take the path of technological development and move towards the knowledge economy. This paper is based on the library research methodology. After reviewing the history, definitions and the reasons for technophobia and its examples in Iran are presented. At the end, some solutions are proposed to deal with it. Manuscript profile -

On the other hand, identifying the most important dimensions affected from technological innovation within and outside the organization is a guide for managers in order to achieve the goals of the organizations; that reveals the importance of paying attention to this kind of innovation. A litrature review shows that many researchers have identified, prioritized and studied the impact of the factors. But there is no comprehensive research that collectively brings together all the factors and classifies them in certain categories. In this study, by reviewing previous studies, we tried to identify all factors using content analysis method, and categorized these factors as organizational and non-organizational effective and impressive. During the review, more than 20 factors were identified. then the dimensions and components of every factor were explained. The most important factor of technological innovation that is critical to pay attention to is the company's performance. But the decision about most effective factor can not be made. Therefore, organizations should pay particular attention to technological innovation in order to improve their financial performance. in order to improve performance, firms and organizations should look consider all the effective factors and try to control and improve the organizational factors specially in order to improve the technological innovation.

In addition, organizations need to open their industry-related data, which is generally government-owned, as well as data innovation, in order to develop their business. Today we are seeing a huge storm of data that is due to the actions of individuals, businesses and the state. It is essential to acquire the valuable information through the use and reuse of production data by opening up a large amount of data. In this way, the potential of the mass data of every sector of industry and business can effectively be used to plan, decide, and ultimately business development. Figures show the potential of open data in three areas: banking, insurance, and real estate. To add value, these data should be processed, combined or visualized. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between open government data and data innovation and business development in the life insurance industry of insurance companies. A questionnaire was used to collect data and a random sampling method was used. In this research, 127 employees of life insurers' life insurance companies were selected as the sample for answering the questionnaire. A questionnaire was distributed among different levels of insurance life insurance companies and finally 98 people participated in the completion of the questionnaire. The findings, based on the results of the hypothesis test, indicate that open government data is effective on business development, and the variable of data innovation has a mediating role..
