Assessment of knowledge management (KM) helps knowledge-based organizations to establish their KM process effectively. So, it is necessary to define some measures to evaluate KM process of these organizations. These indicators can measure efficiency and effectiveness of KM process in knowledge-based organizations. The purpose of this paper development of an assessment model for KM process in knowledge-based companies. In this study, a model was developed based on four enabler factors of knowledge management including “human resources, information technology, education and culture”, and four KM sub-processes including “creating, storing, sharing and applying knowledge”. The statistical sample consists of staff and faculty members of University of Qom in which the developed model is evaluated as a case study. A descriptive-survey research method was conducted in this study based on a questionnaire. The results indicate that University of Qom has not focused enough on KM process. Also, the results of the Fridman test show that none of the studied factors and processes is in a desirable condition in the university; it has been pay less attention to “Organizational culture” and “knowledge creating”, whereas “education” and “knowledge applying” have received more attention.

Iranian academic sector is approaching research commercialization, although, creation of university spin-offs is an initial experience in this sector. Legislation of “knowledge based firms support and commercialization of invention and innovations” has provided great opportunity for the creation of this type of firms in universities and research institutes. But universities and research institutes are still required to complete their infrastructures including rules and regulations needed for the creation of spin-offs. One of the most important of these is "allocation of university spin-off equity among their owners" regulation. Owners of university spin-offs are universities and research institutes, inventor researchers, investors and external entrepreneurs. Allocation of spin-off equity among these parties satisfactorily, is one of the important challenges to spin-off creation in universities and research institutes. This article first tries to identify founders and other parties that are gradually added to owners of spin-off companies. Then stakeholder's equity determinant factors will be discussed. Finally implementation of a framework for the allocation of spin-off companies' equity among their owners will be raised. 10 universities in America, Britain and Canada with spin-off creation experience have been studied in this article.

University and Industry are the most important and influent institutions in social, political and cultural development and society’s economic and technological improvements. The improvement in the relationship between science and technology, the integration of science and industry, the appearance of industries based on science, the use of science as a means to generate competitive advantages on the part of the firms, as well as the globalization of the economy and internationalization of technology, are some of the reasons which justify cooperative relationships between firms and research organizations. Developing relations between Industry and University by cause and positive effect on technological, economic and social changes and transformations was noticed by strategists, politicians and university and industry planners, and was more effort toward creating an effective linkage between university and industry. The 21st century is the century of knowledge-based international economic competition. Industry without online knowledge will surely die and knowledge without applying in industrial operation is not valueless, necessitating the connection between Industry and University. The present paper aims to review the existed theories and models of relationship between Industry, University and other influential institutions in knowledge-based economy. In this study, we reviewed “Triple Helix models TH1, TH2, TH3” (Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff), Quadruple Helix (Carayannis and Campbell), “Quintuple Helix” (Carayannis and Campbell), and represented and reviewed the “Islamic Republic of Iran’s’ Regional Quintuple Helix” (Samadi Miarkolaei), and “N-Tuple of Helices” between Industry and University (Leydesdorff), followed by presenting some suggestions to improve relations between Industry and University.

The aim of this study is to analyze the achievements of university-based start-ups using resource-based approach and answers the question of why are some academic start-ups more competitive and may have greater survival. Academic entrepreneurs are involved in the early stages of business creation, with a decision on the funding crisis facing. The study of important factors decline young companies, often leads to a lack of resources in the early years of formation. The Awareness about the relationship between resources and their role on survival of academic research-based companies in the early years is critical. This article seeks to identify the relationship that leads to more accurately understand the phenomenon of the commercialization of academic research achievements. Since the structure of start-ups based on the achievements of academic research is not something different from the structure of other start-ups and one of three forms of service oriented, Product oriented and Intellectual asset oriented start-ups, the research using library research (Meta-synthesis), concludes that access to human resources and technology and enterprise resource scarcity on campus, explain the success of academic Service oriented and Intellectual asset oriented start-ups and the failure of Product oriented firms. This led to the establishment of academic Service oriented and Intellectual asset oriented start-ups. Manuscript profile

One of the issues encountered by the Iranian Humanities and Social Sciences Society is the commercialization of knowledge and business creation in this field. As a result, the deprivation of business areas from the benefits and capacities of the humanities and social sciences, the wasting of the country's capital, the unemployment of a large number of graduates, immigration and employment in irrelevant businesses are the main consequences of this issue. Therefore, this paper attempts by reviewing the literature on entrepreneurship, the supporting ecosystem of entrepreneurship and the study of two domestic and international universities, provide some solutions for developing university entrepreneurship in the field of humanities and social sciences. The results show that in comprehensive universities, firstly, engineering faculties and then social sciences, economics and management schools engage in entrepreneurship. However, other colleges are resisting entrepreneurship. Therefore, at a humanities university, the stimulation of all faculties for entrepreneurship innovatively, along with the pursuit of scientific and research tasks, should be carefully addressed and start with the colleges whose products and services are closer to the market. In addition, there is no universal framework for creating an academic entrepreneurship ecosystem. Thus, the officials of the universities in the field of humanities must be able to create a environment in which, while preserving the traditional values of education and research, put the commercialization capacity of creating entrepreneurial culture in the university at the center of attention of students and staff.

Today, incubators play a very important role in the economic and industrial development of developed and developing countries. Incubators are designed to support educated entrepreneurs and provide the growth opportunities for new companies by providing them general facilities. Identifying and studying the various factors that are affecting the development of entrepreneurship and incubators can be effective in policy making for the promotion of entrepreneurial activities. The present study sought to identify the factors affecting the development of incubators, identifying 36 factors and categorizing them in six categories containing company general characteristics, manpower characteristics, infrastructures, market and competition, financial affairs and environmental factors. The statistical population of the study consists of 6 experts from the incubator of Technology Units of the University of Guilan. Prioritizing 36 factors using the analytic network process methodology indicates that five factors: supporting mechanisms (government and university), the existence of experienced consulting teams, organizational structure of companies based in incubators, the field of activity of these companies and their age have the highest priorities than other factors, in other words, they have the greatest impact on the development of incubators. Of course, given that the prioritization of these factors has been used by experts in the incubator of Technology Units of the University of Guilan, it can not be fully generalized to other Centers.

Considering the Theorizing as an indicator for generating the knowledge of academic institutions, the participation of universities in the field of humanism in scientific development and theorization is of particular importance. The practical efficiency of the theory is conditioned on the operation of the generated knowledge and its movement from the step of analogical reasoning (normative theory) to the inductive argument (the descriptive theory) in the theoretical cycle. Thus, the Test theory in the inductive argument can be considered as the main mission of the Humanities University. In this cycle, the observed anomalies lead to the production of knowledge and theorizing and access to the authority of the Humanities University. In order to move the knowledge cycle from theory to reality and transforming knowledge into a theoretical cycle, from the deductive reasoning (normative theory) to inductive reasoning (descriptive theory), there is a need for universities to target the universities in order to participate in various missions that can identify and explain these abnormalities. This means that in the knowledge production cycle all universities have the same importance in scientific development. Given the intrinsic nature of Humanities Universities in direct relation with society, the establishment of Humanities Incubator can lead to direct association of university professors with the community and create the production of indigenous knowledge of humanities. In fact, these centers can connect with various cultural institutions of the society along the lines of indigenous patterns through the establishment of a business in the field of humanism through the use of professors from the university of humanities and other universities. Such a structure, by removing obstacles to the development of higher education system, will define the ecosystem of education in Humanities Universities, which will be the basis of the theoretization based on indigenous knowledge in the country.
