(2 themes), and integrated management (2 themes); and relationships between them were drawn and presented in the form of a paradigmatic model. The results of the quantitative part showed that 5 indicators and 11 components with factor load, average extracted variance, and convergent validity are higher than (0.4), Cronbach's alpha coefficient and composite reliability are higher than (0.7), significant t coefficients is higher than (1.96); all were confirmed, and the model has a strong fit.

The entrepreneurial ecosystem provides a growth model for entrepreneurs and by determining related indicators and elements, it identifies opportunities and threats and provides the basis for the growth of entrepreneurial activities. The aim of the current research is to develop the entrepreneurial ecosystem model with the approach of employability of knowledge-based businesses based in Science and Technology Park of Tehran University. In this regard, through interviews with 20 academic experts and entrepreneurs related to the field of research, the field under study was investigated with a qualitative method. The analysis of information in the qualitative section has been carried out by the method of theme analysis. The results of the research showed that the entrepreneurial ecosystem model can be designed with the approach of employability in six categories of human capital, financial capital, market capital, cultural capital, political capital and support capital, and each of these sectors had different subsystems. It was also concluded that paying attention to the development of the entrepreneurial ecosystem model has results such as the development of innovation and entrepreneurship and the creation of sustainable employability.

The entrepreneurial ecosystem with the approach of innovative ecosystems is a new and emerging path in the direction of skill development for entrepreneurs all over the world, which examines all opportunities and threats by expanding the interests and causes the growth and maturity and evolution of entrepreneurship at all its high levels. The aim of the current research is to develop an entrepreneurial ecosystem model with an innovative ecosystem approach in knowledge-based businesses in the field of technology located in the Science and Technology Park of Tehran University. In this regard, through interviews with 20 academic experts and entrepreneurs related to the field of research, the field under study was investigated with a qualitative method. The analysis of information in the qualitative section has been carried out by the method of theme analysis. The results of the research showed that the entrepreneurial ecosystem model can be designed with the approach of Innovative ecosystem in six categories of human capital, financial capital, market capital, cultural capital, political capital and support capital, and each of these sectors had different subsystems. It was also concluded that paying attention to the development of the entrepreneurial ecosystem model has results such as the development of innovation and entrepreneurship and the creation of sustainable employability.

The study of science and technology parks literature shows that approaches based on regional economy, technological and industrial clusters, and innovation systems are the basis for creating science and technology parks. The main idea of the formation of science and technology parks is to develop technology and entrepreneurship and promote innovation culture through managing the flow of knowledge and technology between universities, research institutes and private companies and the market. In the past years, many policymakers, academics and company managers have increasingly recognized the benefits of regional entrepreneurial ecosystems. Accordingly, the concept of entrepreneurial ecosystem means thinking and action have been used to design entrepreneurial policies. Examining the research reports indicates that a small number of technological businesses enjoy parking services in the life cycle of the company, which is caused by two categories of factors, the first includes the macro issues, such as reduction of government budgets, lack of management efficient systems, sanctions and bottlenecks in international communication, lack of participation of the private sector, and the second includes lack of experience of the park headquarters in managing technology and innovation, crisis management and solving upcoming challenges, and issues such as managing interactions, resilience and sustainability of businesses. Hence, the purpose of this research is to provide a framework for evaluating the entrepreneurial ecosystem of science and technology parks, because according to the experiences gained, providing the framework prevents the partiality and insularity of science and technology parks in drafting programs to support entrepreneurial processes and minimizes parallel work and waste of resources.
The research is qualitative and based on systematic grounded theory. The data of the research was collected through semi-structured interviews including 15 experts in the field of entrepreneurship and science and technology parks of the country until reaching theoretical saturation and purposeful sampling was done by theoretical and snowball method. The statistical population of this research consists of experts related to the field of research. Sampling is also purposeful and in the form of snowballs. Sampling continued until theoretical saturation was reached. Furthermore, results evaluation criteria are as follows: 1. Matching, 2. Ability to understand, 3. Ability to generalize, 4. Control, 5- Practical relevance, 6- Efficiency, and 7- Modifyability. For determining the overall validity of the model in this research, the ratio test wass used to measure the validity of the ground theory.
Data analysis was also done with the Strauss and Corbin approach in three stages of open, axial and selective coding. The result showed that causal-conditions (characteristics of ecosystem place structures, entrepreneurship policies and ecosystem place entrepreneurship indicators), contextual-conditions (financial, human, physical and intangible infrastructure, capacity building, promotion, enablers), Intervening-conditions (adaptability, elimination of tension, resilience), strategies (inside- and outside- entrepreneurial ecosystem interactions), outcomes (wealth creation, workforce, businesses), pivotal include, evaluation the entrepreneurial ecosystem of science and technology parks (with  indicators of support, mediation, technical opportunism,  and help for explotation of opportunity).
Unfortunately, science and technology parks rarely evaluate the entrepreneurial ecosystem created by themselves and only rely on performance evaluation results. A short-term solution in this field is to sensitize the officials of the parks and the Ministry of Science to the issue of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, so that they consider the evaluation of the entrepreneurial ecosystem along with the evaluation of the park’s performance, because the most important task of the park is streamlining and creating stable connections
to carry out its missions. Considering the financial constraints and the threatening environmental conditions of the country, the best strategy is to use the capabilities of the ecosystems in a win-win relationship to advance the park’s goals.The proposed framework can be used as a basis for evaluation the establishment or development of entrepreneurial ecosystem of science and technology parks. To this end, the following suggestions are presented: 1. It is suggested that in future research, the framework presented in this research should be used to evaluate the entrepreneurial ecosystem of other Science and Technology Parks of the Ministry of Science across the country with a wider population and statistical sample and compare the results with these results. 2. It is suggested to conduct comparative studies to take advantage of the situation of other countries in evaluating the entrepreneurial ecosystem of science and technology parks in the world. 3. It is suggested that the evaluation framework of the entrepreneurship ecosystem of science and technology parks related to executive bodies and specialized parks be designed and its results be compared with this research

Despite the existence of various scientific-research infrastructures, such as research institutes and research centers, science and technology parks, and different incubators in Ilam province, student-based knowledge-based companies and nuclei are few. Considering the importance of developing and promoting entrepreneurial activities and the role of universities and higher education centers in the formation of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, this research was conducted to develop a model for the promoters of the entrepreneurial ecosystem at Ilam University.

In this research, the promoters of the entrepreneurship ecosystem of Ilam University were analyzed using the Delphi technique in three rounds. After reviewing the literature and the internal and external experiences of the formation of academic entrepreneurship ecosystems, a semi-structured questionnaire was developed to explore the promoters of the entrepreneurship ecosystem from the perspective of the research participants. The participants were 14 faculty members of Ilam University who were experts in the field of entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystem and were studied purposefully. In the first round, based on a semi-structured interview, the promoters of the entrepreneurial ecosystem were compiled based on the participants' points of view and examined the literature. In the second and third rounds, the participants expressed their opinions about these promoters on a Likert scale. SPSS version 26 and Excel software were used for data analysis.

The results showed that some promoters of the innovative entrepreneurial ecosystem at Ilam University included improving the structure of the entrepreneurship ecosystem in the university to develop technological and entrepreneurial activities of faculty members and students, setting up a business and entrepreneurship consulting office in colleges, defining and allocating innovation grants for projects of faculty members, theses, and student theses in the form of student business cores, strengthening group and team cooperation in teaching, projects, and research plans, project cooperation with organizations, forcing faculty members to specialize their research and consulting activities and to set up the market and labor market information system of Iraq and the jobs and labor market of the country and the province.

Conclusion/ Implications: 

Considering the importance of the structure in advancing the entrepreneurship ecosystem and the experiences of successful universities in the world in this field, it is suggested that Ilam University, taking into account the existing laws and regulations, set up the Vice-Chancellor of Entrepreneurship and Technology in the university. Changing the title and function of the Science and Technology Development Center Council to the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Council is another recommendation. In the next step, it is necessary to revise the description of the duties of this council and formulate its duties according to the functions of the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem of the university.

The current research is among applied research and has a mixed approach in terms of data collection. The research was conducted in the qualitative part using the theme analysis technique and targeted sampling, and 10 professors and experts, managers and activists of this field participated in the research. After defining the concepts and categories of the main and sub-themes identified in the research, using confirmatory factor analysis, each component of the model was examined to determine the appropriateness of each of the main and sub-themes identified in the research in the studied society. Make sure. To examine each of the components of the paradigm model, factor loadings, Cronbach's alpha value, average explained variance, and the significance level of Bartlett's test have been used.

The amount of factor loading, average explained variance, Cronbach's alpha coefficient and the combined reliability obtained for each of the research measures indicate a suitable and acceptable relationship between the measures and the constructs (factor loading and average explained variance) and the compatibility of the questions. For each component of the model (Cronbach's alpha coefficient and composite reliability) was

The research showed that the government, market, new knowledge, expert manpower, infrastructure, supporters, financial and intermediary services and networking constitute the components of the entrepreneurial ecosystem model of the fledgling businesses in the field of information technology.

Today, in our country, the word entrepreneurship is used to present various shows of employment. However, its development in society is not obvious. In the world, entrepreneurial education is used to create a correct understanding and increase the intention of entrepreneurship. This research aims to design a model of an entrepreneurial school with an emphasis on the establishment of an entrepreneurial ecosystem. This study was conducted using a quantitative approach and a descriptive correlation method.To this end, 151 experts in education, technical and vocational education, and faculty members in related fields participated in the available sampling method. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data, and factor analysis (exploratory and confirmatory) was used to present the model. Model fit tests were used to validate the model. The validity of the questionnaire was examined through factor analysis, and the reliability of the questionnaire was examined using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Finally, the entrepreneurial ecosystem, curriculum personalization, stakeholder commitment, entrepreneurial teacher, entrepreneurial leader, school accelerator, value-creating goal, co-working space, networking, and entry system were extracted as ten factors explaining the entrepreneurial school construct.

The purpose of this research is to design the excellence model of reproductive companies in the context of academic entrepreneurship ecosystem. The approach of the current research is qualitative, and the seven-step metacombination method of Sandelowski and Barroso was used. The statistical community of the research includes all the resources related to the academic entrepreneurship ecosystem and reproductive companies published from the scientific database in the period of 1390-1400 solar and 2000 to 2021 AD. Therefore, taking into account the degree of relevance to the research topic, primary sources were screened and 55 sources were selected, and coding was done on the concepts extracted from them. In total, 24 subcategories and 6 main categories were categorized. Finally, the identified codes were classified based on the content analysis approach of Strauss and Corbin's three-stage coding (open, central and selective). The identified components include environmental, organizational, educational, research, business and managerial factors. The results were presented in the form of a conceptual model for a better understanding of the excellence model of reproductive companies in the context of the academic entrepreneurship ecosystem.

Analyzing the interviews in the qualitative part in order to reach the causal, interventional and background factors that shape the current state of the entrepreneurial ecosystem and the strategies adopted by economic actors and the economic and social results formed at the regional level by using database technique and in a small part by using the path analysis test, it was concluded that on this basis; The results showed that 72 challenges and obstacles in the form of the main components of weakness in management, policy-making and development planning (the most effective component); the inappropriateness of the business environment; Weakness in providing needed infrastructure, services and facilities; Weaknesses of marketing, sales and technical and practical obstacles; social and cultural barriers; educational and promotional restrictions; Weakness of financial resources; Weakness in the mental and behavioral beliefs of the villagers and includes two main dimensions of weaknesses and inadequacies related to environmental factors and individual and personality factors affecting self-employment and entrepreneurship; They are effective as inhibiting factors in the direction of entrepreneurship development and the success of entrepreneurs in the study area. In this regard, intervention and background factors; Adopted strategies and the results of the identified causal factors on the entrepreneurship ecosystem of the studied area were also identified.

Growth and survival is one of the most important challenges for start-ups in the current situation. On the one hand, the coopetition strategy in the last two decades in order to gain, maintain and improve the competitive position has been considered by many businesses. Start-up can gain a good coopetition position in many areas by using a competitive strategy. So far, research has not examined the factors that are involved in the implementation of a coopetition strategy in start-up. In this method, in order to explain the factors affecting the application of the coopetition strategy, first by systematic review of the literature and using the method of meta-synthetic qualitative research, all dimensions of the coopetition strategy were identified. Then the importance and priority of each of the proposed factors is determined using the Shannon quantitative entropy method. After analyzing the articles, the effective factors were classified into 6 categories, 16 dimensions and 68indicators. The results showed; The most important categories are "institutional factors", "strategic factors", "environmental factors","individual-managerial factors","participatory factors","communication factors" respectively. Among the dimensions, " Events " were in the first place, " Supporting institutions ," and " Good reputation of the company " and , "Having coopetitive mindset " were in the second ,third and Fourth places. This study provides a deep understanding of the existing literature on coopetition strategy in start-ups by organizing the factors affecting it and can be used in planning for their growth and survival in complex and dynamic market conditions to compete with other businesse

Entrepreneurship does not take place in a closed environment but is a phenomenon based on cause and effect relationships between different economic, social, cultural and political dimensions. The purpose of this research is to identify and evaluate the factors affecting the development of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Iran's stone industry, which was carried out using a mixed exploratory method in two phases: qualitative (with the aim of identifying factors) and quantitative (with the aim of evaluating and screening factors by experts). became. Research experts included 26 managers in the field of entrepreneurship, professors and researchers in the fields of economics, management and entrepreneurship, and entrepreneurs in Iran's stone industry who were selected by purposeful sampling. In the qualitative phase of the research, semi-structured interviews were used to collect information, and in the quantitative phase, a questionnaire was used. The interviews were analyzed in the qualitative section using the content analysis method and led to the identification of 60 factors. Then, to screen the factors, the fuzzy Delphi method was carried out during three rounds, and finally 38 factors were identified as the most important factors affecting the development of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Iran's stone industry, for example, it is possible to use the capacities Socialization of the industry, legitimacy and acceptability of entrepreneurs in the society, providing incentives and legal, financial and technical support in the stone industry, creating sufficient motivation for entrepreneurship in this industry, creating communication networks of entrepreneurs in the stone industry, developing international cooperation, He pointed out the development of the infrastructure of this industry, and the recognition and exploitation of entrepreneurial opportunities in the stone industry.

The present research aimed at explaining the entrepreneurial ecosystem model in agricultural faculties from the viewpoint of agriculture students. The research was an applied study in goal and an exploratory sequential mixed-methods study in approach. Fifteen startup experts were analyzed using purposive sampling in the qualitative phase. In the quantitative phase, the population was composed of 3781 agriculture students out of whom 416 students were selected using a random sampling method with proportional allocation based on the Cochran formula. The validity of the research instrument (closed-ended questions) was measured by discriminant validity using the average variance extracted (AVE) index which was acceptably higher than 0.5 for the studied constructs. The reliability was assessed using the combined reliability (CR) method, which was acceptably higher than 0.6 for the studied constructs. Cronbach's alpha was also estimated at higher than 0.7 for the research constructs. Data were analyzed by frequency and mean in the descriptive part and confirmatory factor analysis in the inferential part. According to the findings in the qualitative phase, human capital, policymaking, socio-cultural, support, market development, and financial-economic components had the most number of codes, respectively. The quantitative findings showed that the most important components based on factor loadings in the entrepreneurial ecosystem model of agricultural faculties included human capital (0.96), support (0.95), socio-cultural component (0.94), policymaking (0.92), market development (0.88), and financial-economic component (0.83). Notably, human capital was perceived by the agriculture students to be the most important component for the growth of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in agriculture faculties. Therefore, agricultural faculties are recommended to provide the students with an opportunity for experiential teaching and learning in the fields of entrepreneurship and launching new startups.

In recent years, the issue of the health of entrepreneurial ecosystems has gained significant attention among researchers. The health of ecosystems refers to the robustness of ecosystems and maintaining their structure and function over time in the face of internal and external disturbances. It enhances the health level of an ecosystem, the guaranteed survival, and the better performance it demonstrates for entrepreneurs. However, adopting appropriate policies to enhance the health level of entrepreneurial ecosystems has received less attention from policymakers and researchers in this field. This research aims to identify and classify policy instruments to enhance the health level of entrepreneurial ecosystems in Iran. In this study, efforts have been made to identify policy instruments suitable for enhancing the health level of Iranian entrepreneurial ecosystems using interview and questionnaire tools. The final list of policy instruments has been extracted through expert opinions and statistical analyses. Subsequently, through the analysis of interrelationships and clustering of policy instruments, different classifications including policy instruments related to "Strengthening infrastructures" including 4 policy instruments to reform and stabilize social and macroeconomic policies, "Development of actors in the entrepreneurial ecosystem" including 4 policy instruments for the quantitative development of the entities and actors of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, "Diversification of the entrepreneurial ecosystem" "including 6 policy instruments to diversify business domains in the entrepreneurial ecosystem and "demand development" including 5 distinct policy instruments to strengthen finance of the entrepreneurial ecosystem can affect the enhancement of the health level of Iran's entrepreneurial ecosystem. The results of this research indicate that these distinct policy classifications can impact enhancing the health level of Iranian entrepreneurial ecosystems.

The sustainable entrepreneurship requires exploration and exploitation activities with the best results in developed or developing markets. The digitalization of businesses is a window of opportunity that has been opened in entrepreneurial ecosystems and has provided countless benefits to businesses, including interaction with new players, access to extensive knowledge resources, risk reduction and legitimacy for businesses in different levels. In this research, we conducted  a systematic review using the prisma technique and means of scientometric (co-occurrence of words). We searched existing documents available in the Scopus database for a period of 1988 to 2022. We found  612 ducuments (articles, books, etc.) and used bibexclel  1.0.0.0 and VOS viwer 1.6.10.0 software. Based on the analysis of the scientific maps,the model of development of the specific research gap and emerging areas include “ policy, financial resources, netwok and base, support,, skill, knowledge, culture, human resources and market” It is hoped that this research can suggest some valuble intuitions for key elements in the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

The aim of the present study is to develop a model of entrepreneurial ecosystem in tourism businesses in Mazandaran province. The study is applied in terms of its purpose and considering the methodology, it is descriptive-survey with a mixed methods approach. First, using Meta-synthetic and Delphi methods, the qualitative model was developed including 34 components in six dimensions of politics, culture, support, market, financial capital, and human capital. Then, in the quantitative section, in order to assess the fitness and validity of the proposed model, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted by using Lisrel. In the qualitative and qualitative sections, sampling methods, was purposive and convenience, respectively. In the qualitative section, 15 experts and in the quantitative part, 103 entrepreneurs and people engaged in tourism businesses in Mazandaran province, participated. Results of CFA indicated that the proposed model, enjoys goodness of fit. Culture with 0.9 factor loading had the strongest effect while human capital (0.75) had the least effect on explaining the tourism entrepreneurial ecosystem structure. Additionally, to evaluate the current tourism entrepreneurial ecosystem in Mazandaran based on the same model, one sample t-test was utilized. Results of the t-test demonstrated that the tourism entrepreneurial ecosystem of Mazandaran is at its infancy. Thus, in order for the tourism entrepreneurial ecosystem to function properly, it is suggested that all sub-systems should develop and grow together so that the potency of the ecosystem may increase via synergy.

An entrepreneurial ecosystem is a self-organized, adaptive, geographically limited community composed of complex agents operating at multiple and cumulative levels whose non-linear interactions lead to patterns of activities through which new ventures emerge. The present research aims to explain the factors that influence the creation of an entrepreneurship ecosystem in less privileged rural areas of Asad Abad in Hamedan province, Iran using the Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) technique. Out of the rural entrepreneurship experts and scholars, 15 people were selected purposefully for a semi-structured interview. Based on the content analysis using the ISM technique, the factors underpinning the creation of an entrepreneurship ecosystem in the less privileged areas were determined and leveled. Based on the results, the creation of entrepreneurial ecosystems in less privileged areas requires the availability and implementation of macro-governance factors, individual-behavioral factors, supportive factors, sociocultural factors, financing, human capital, market, and regional capacity. The results reveal that the macro-governance factors are the most important and effective factors in developing entrepreneurial ecosystems in less privileged regions. Financing and regional capacity are the second-most important factors involved in creating an entrepreneurial ecosystem (as a representative of society) in less privileged areas.
