This paper explores several characteristics of patents in the biotechnology field, comparing and contrasting them to patents in other fields of research. We find that biotechnology patents face a longer lag between application and grant date, and their secrecy would be heavily affected if legislation were to permit publication 18 months after application. They are highly concentrated geographically, as well as in industrial origin, and are used most heavily in the health sector, but have a wider spread in use than in origin. They use many more (and much more recent) references than the average patent, with a special weight on academic or scientific literature, foreign patents, and a tight circle of research fields. While they are not cited frequently on average, their use as germplasm is rising. Future research should focus on the questions that have been uncovered Manuscript profile

The concept of strategic entrepreneurship refers to simultaneously engaging in the activities of discovering (creating knowledge and new capabilities) and exploiting (exploiting existing and current organizational resources and knowledge), which has increasingly attracted attention in strategic management and organizational entrepreneurship literature. In spite of this importance, there are two significant theoretical gaps in the context of Iran. First, how can organizations create strategic entrepreneurship capability in their organizations and what are the effective factors in this regard? Second, does basically strategic entrepreneurship lead to business growth or not? The statistical population of this research includes 93 active food industry companies in Tehran and Gorgan. The questionare was completed by 75 firms which are statistically generalizable based on the Cochran formula. Reliability of the survey instrument is confirmed using Cronbach Alpha. Content and construct validity tests were confirmed by some university professors and statistical techniqies such as confirmatoty factor analysis respectively. Finally, research hypotheses were tested by structural equation modeling (SEM) using Smartpls software. The results show that Entrepreneurial mindset, entrepreneurial culture, entrepreneurial leadership and creativity and innovation through strategic entrepreneurship have a significant positive effect on a firm’s growth.

The entrepreneurial mindset is the concept that works on the way of decision-making in entrepreneurial processes and tries to specify the differences between entrepreneurs and non-entrepreneurs in terms of the personality and cognitive systems that influence decision making. Despite growing studies have been done in the conceptual framework of the entrepreneurial mindset, this concept is faced with a lack of measurement tools that cover the broad dimensions of entrepreneurial decision-making. In this regard, the purpose of this research is to develop an instrumental tool for the entrepreneurial mindset. In the first section, the first items were identified with extensive study of the background of the research. Then, the final tool was designed in the form of 4 diminsion, 18 factors and 54 items with three steps of the Delphi method and applying present expert’s opinions in the panel. Participants in the Delphi section were entrepreneurship faculty, corporate and independent entrepreneurs, as well as several psychologists and psychiatrists. The results of the research indicate that all 54 final items are considered important for entrepreneurs and have an average of more than 4 in the Likert spectrum. Also, prioritizing the factors of the entrepreneurial mindset shows that the skills, personality traits of the first category, personality traits of the second category and motivators, in that order, have most significances in the formation of the entrepreneurial mindset.

today's competitive and world-class market economy, entrepreneurship has been used as the "economic development engine", with the changing transformations of the international environment, the transition from industrial society to the information society and the transformation of national economy into the global economy. In the decades of the twentieth century, with the transition from the national economy to the global economy and the tremendous transformations that emerged in modern technologies, the industrial age community gradually gave its place to the intelligence community. Given the many changes that have taken place in the information age, from the three digital, Internet and entrepreneurship revolutions, the entrepreneurial revolution has played an important role in the development countries, and the advancement of many countries is due to entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial activities. Entrepreneurship is recognized as the main tool and engine for economic growth. Financial resources are one of the important requirements of the value chain of entrepreneurship so that acquiring the funds needed to set up businesses is one of the biggest challenges for entrepreneurs. In this regard, the main objective of this paper is to examine the impact of financial markets on entrepreneurship in the group of selected countries. The results of estimating the model using the method of generalized moments in the group of selected countries during the period of 2016-2001 indicate that financial markets have a significant effect on entrepreneurial decisions as indicators of entrepreneurship.

Many scholars have highlighted the importance of entrepreneurship ecosystems in improving entrepreneurial activities, but, nevertheless, studies that are quantitatively analyzing the interrelationship between entrepreneurship ecosystems and their impact on increasing entrepreneurial activities at various stages of entrepreneurship are very limited. Therefore, the aim of this study is to fill the gap in entrepreneurship literature and also to study the effect of these two variables in different stages of development of countries. In this regard, using data from 107 GEM countries During 2008-2017 and Generalized Momentary Econometric Model (GMM), the relationship between the components of the entrepreneurship ecosystem and economic growth has been estimated. The results showed that the impact of the financial environment on the entrepreneurial stages in the resource-based countries was negative and significant. However, the impact of entrepreneurship education, dynamics of the domestic market, social status of entrepreneurs (entrepreneurial culture) and the GDP growth have had a positive and significant impact on entrepreneurship in these countries. The results also indicate that the impact of ecosystem factors such as government policies and programs, taxes and bureaucracy, entrepreneurial education at basic and academic levels, R&D transfer, infrastructure, market dynamics and appropriate business environment have positive and significant impact on the growth of entrepreneurial activities in efficiency and innovation-driven countries. Overall, the results of this study indicate that in an ecosystem with low barriers to entry, government support policies for entrepreneurs, basic and higher education, commercial and legal infrastructure, and normative culture supporting entrepreneurship increases entreprenurial activities Manuscript profile
