        Saeed Shokohi

        Nanotechnology plays an important role in the scientific, economic, and political development of countries, so that adapting to today's dynamic world and becoming the leading power in the Middle East and a pioneer in this field is subject to the acquisition of nanotechnology and the related knowledge. One of the short-term, urgent and effective methods for obtaining knowledge and technology concerned with nanotechnology is technology transfer but despite its outstanding importance, little attention has been paid. On the other hand, in extraordinary circumstances imposed by the sanctions against Iran, the urgency of this issue increases, since the technical and knowledge interactions under sanctions are harder and more complex. Also, the possibility of complete transfer of knowledge and technology, especially in the field of high technologies such as nanotechnology decreases. Therefore, this study has aimed to design a customized model for Iran to facilitate making accurate and wise decisions about transfer of nanotechnology and the knowledge associated with that technology. To achieve this goal, three basic steps have been taken. First, eighteen major factors influencing the transfer of knowledge and technology of nano has been identified. Then, these factors have been weighed. Finally, they have been categorized into five clusters that are: 1. Technology source, 2. Technology receiver, 3. Technology process, 4. Technology nature, 5. Technology environment. It is notable that this classification has been based on open systems approach. Manuscript profile

        With the passing of the era of the first and second generation of university that training-oriented universities and research-oriented universities are called, the third generation as an entrepreneurial university has been introduced. The aim of present article is Identifying and ranking Entrepreneurial University's Structure Dimension. Entrepreneurial university appearance as a center which focus on humanity knowledge and publication of that, investigation, preparation and university attendance on development of economic and social with more operational system, can be known as one of the most important events in recent years. By attention to necessity of developing these kind of universities, must examine structure basis of that and Iran,s universities should be noticed to this kind of university. In this investigation, researchers after library considerations, proceed to recognition of effective structural dimensions on entrepreneurial university using Delphi method in three rounds. then they ranked this dimensions by using AHP. After recognizing dimensions by using Delphi method they ordered by using networking process: integration, independence, professionalism, complexity, centralization and formality. The result of present article shows that scientific system of country should notice to a lot of structural dimension's in the universities especially in independence and integration and professionalism. Because Entrepreneurial University's Structure should persuade creativity and synergy. The leading role, combination of the components of the composition and independence, is the one of the most influential factors that affecting on the structure. Manuscript profile

        The empowerment of each country in the fields of science and technology requires attention to indigenous knowledge and, of course, the use of the experiences of developed countries in these areas. Therefore, production and technology transfer should be considered together in order to prevent the waste of time and energy, also provide scientific grounds for localization. This is important when the intellectual property of technology transfer, as a supportive power of the technology owner, is also taken into consideration. Because of its importance, in this paper, by presenting a model, we draw a proper path in the production of domestic technology along with the transfer of technology that has been consulted by the elite. The resulting model explains the process of manufacturing and transferring technology from the legislative stage to the product delivery of the technology. In this model four phases of infrastructure, creation, supportive and final are considered. In the infrastructure phase, the legal dimensions of intellectual property laws as well as methods for creating the right conditions for the transfer and production of technology in the Government, Parliament and the Guardian Council are examined. In the phase of creation, the responsibilities assigned to the relevant ministries, as well as the improvement of the power of science and technology parks along with the appropriate direction for them. The supportive phase is a guarantee of the implementation of the law and, in addition, it has a supportive role in creating a suitable platform for technology vendors. Finally, the process of fusing and commercializing technology in the final phase is examined. Manuscript profile

        Many large organizations today use entrepreneurship as a way to gain a long-term competitive advantage. The importance of entrepreneurship in different industries and areas is not the same for governments and some parent industries such as the oil industry have a special place, so the purpose of this study was to analyze the factors affecting the development of entrepreneurship in the oil industry. This research was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-survey in terms of implementation method, which was performed by mixed exploratory method. In the qualitative stage, the research team consisted of 28 university experts who were selected by judgment and snowball method. In the quantitative stage of the statistical population, all oil industry experts were 3710 people. The sample size according to Krejcie and Morgan table was 348 people and simple random sampling method was used. The Delphi method has been used to identify the factors and the structural equations method with the Smart Payals software has been used to analyze the relationships of the variables. The results showed that the effective factors on entrepreneurship development include 27 components in the form of six dimensions (environmental-institutional, blue ocean strategy, opportunity, human factors, organizational factors, managerial factors). Also, the analysis of structural equations showed that environmental-institutional (0.386), blue ocean strategy (0.423), opportunity (0.342), human factors (0.318), organizational factors (0.370), managerial factors ( 0.455) have a positive and significant effect on the development of entrepreneurship in the oil industry. Finally, it can be said that the entry of entrepreneurship into this industry can save the oil industry from the current inefficiency and lead to solving problems such as oil equipment and oil sales.

        Today, the use of technology in organizations as a solution to organizational problems has led to the emergence of a new concept: "technological entrepreneurship." Banks are considered one of the most influential organizations in the development of entrepreneurship in the country, and the advancement of technology has prompted the banking industry to utilize technological entrepreneurship to improve efficiency. Therefore, the aim of the current research was to design a technological entrepreneurship model for the Agricultural Bank. This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlational based on the method. The statistical population in the qualitative stage comprised 20 experts who were selected by a purposeful judgment method. In the quantitative stage, there were 250 employees of the Agricultural Bank of Golestan province. The sample size was determined to be 152 people according to the Krejcie and Morgan table, and sampling was done using a simple random method. The Delphi method was used to identify factors, and the structural equation modeling method with Smart PLS3 software was used to design the model. The Delphi results showed that the effective factors on technological entrepreneurship include 36 components in the form of 7 dimensions: inter-organizational, structural, institutional, skill, managerial, market and customer interactions, and technology. Additionally, the results of structural equation modeling showed that inter-organizational (0.792), structural (0.841), institutional (0.846), skill (0.726), managerial (0.628), market and customer interactions (0.598), and technology (0.491) factors have a positive and significant effect on technological entrepreneurship. In conclusion, technological entrepreneurship is considered an important strategy for the Agricultural Bank to remain competitive in a highly dynamic environment. Manuscript profile
