محورهای موضوعی :
1 - دانشگاه تهران
کلید واژه: دانش بازار, دانش فن آوری, تشخیص فرصت,
چکیده مقاله :
کارآفرینی را می توان بصورت خلاصه تشخیص و بهره برداری از فرصتها تعریف نمود و تشخیص فرصت نقشی اساسی در این فرآیند ایفا می نماید. كارآفرين ميبايست محيط بازار را خوب درك نموده، نيروهاي مشتق و عوامل بحراني را شناسايي كرده و به رابطه پوياي واقعي در بين اين اجزا پي ببرد. از طرف دیگر برخی نقش کارآفرین را بازسازی یا منقلب کننده الگوی تولید از طریق بهره برداری از یک اختراع یا یک راه حل فن آورانه که قبلاً بکار گرفته نشده، درحالیکه تولید را بهبود می بخشد و یا محصولات جدیدی را خلق می نماید، می دانند. در این تحقیق که از نوع توصيفي - اكتشافي می باشد، با رویکرد پژوهشی، بر روی مطالعات حوزه تشخیص فرصتهای کارآفرینانه استوار بوده و مدل مفهومی جدیدی در زمينه تاثیر دانش بازار و دانش فن آوری بصورت مستقیم و در تعامل با یکدیگر، بر روی تشخیص و بهره برداری از فرصتها را ارائه می نماید. این مدل مفهومی بر اساس آرای دیگر محققان تدوین و با استفاده از نظرات خبرگان حوزه صنایع غذایی و دانشگاهی مورد آزمایش قرار گرفته و سپس تحلیل و روایی آن بررسی گردیده است. این مدل می تواند به عنوان راهنمایی برای سیاستگذاران دولتی، صاحبان صنایع و محققان در جهت دهی فعالیتهای کارآفرینانه مبتنی بر دانش مورد استفاده قرار گیرد
