The purpose of this study is to identify and prioritize the components of the entrepreneurial university. In this research, in order to summarize and aggregate the findings of previous researches, the meta-synthesis method has been used. First, by searching in various scientific documents databases, 842 primary sources, some of which were referred to the entrepreneurial university (third generation university), were extracted. Then, considering the relevance to the research, the initial sources were seived and 75 sources were selected for the final consideration. Subsequently, by using content analysis and open and axial coding of selected resources, 20 factors were identified in five main categories 1- Strategy and leadership, 2- Structure and processes, 3- Culture, 4- Education system and 5- Network of relationships as the main components and categories of the formation of an entrepreneurial university. Finally, the weight and priority of these components as inputs of policy making in the field of higher education to push the universities of the country towards the entrepreneurial university, is calculated and presented using the group analytic hierarchy process and judgments of seven experts in the field of higher education. Accordingly, the five components of leadership, organization, resource management, entrepreneurial attitudes, and laws are of the highest importance. By the end, to facilitate transition to the entrepreneurial university some suggestions were presented regarding important components.

The purpose of this study was to identify and prioritize the training needs of the students in the Literacy Movement Organization in Fars province. To this end, the study used exploratory sequential mixed methods design (QualitativeQuantitative). Participants in the study were 72 individuals selected through purposive, snowball and/or consensus sampling techniques from adult education specialists, local reference groups, as well as managers of both the reginal Literacy Movement Organization, and of the provincial department of education. The number of participants was decided on considering theoretical saturation. To identify the needs and interests of literacy learners, various instruments were used, including an open-ended questionnaire, semi-structured interview and brainstorming (for qualitative phase) and a researcher-made questionnaire (for quantitative phase). The questionnaire was developed based on the findings of the interview and the validity and reliability of the questionnaire were approved. The qualitative data was analyzed using thematic analysis and for the quantitative data, various statistical techniques were used, from descriptive statistics to Kolmogorov-Smirnov, t-test, Friedman, and ANOVA. The results of thematic analyses revealed three main categories (skill, knowledge and attitude) and nine subcategories for the students’ needs. For instance, within the category of skills, learners’ needs could be divided into the three subcategories of basic life skills, practical skills and learning skills. In the knowledge domain, four subdivisions were found: socio-cultural, scientific, spiritual (religion and ethics) and health care needs. In the attitude section, learners’ needs were of two types, individual and social. The results of the quantitative analyses also showed that the students’ needs in the order or priority were respectively in the skills, knowledge, and attitude sections.

According to the faculty members of the Islamshahr Islamic Azad University, one of the structural approaches of the Country Higher Education in the field of humanities and religion is an analysis of the effective deterrent factors on the Theorizing Seats, scientific critique and debate, and identifying and prioritizing its solutions. Using descriptive-survey method, this paper has studied the entire faculty members of the university, considering that 174 of them were selected randomly by the Stratified Sampling method as the sample group. Required data were collected through a researcher-made questionnaire with a reliability of 0.89 based on Likert scale 5. Data analysis based on single-group Z inferential tests and single group analysis of variance (F) showed that, respectively, cultural, administrative-structural, factors related to policy making of the theorizing system, providing research service’s methods and motivational factors have a deterrent role in theorizing; however, the inhibitory intensity of the various studied factors is not statistically significant with 0.99. Providing stronger scientific-research privileges for the professors and compilation of a comprehensive agenda of the Theorizing Seats are respectively the most effective solutions to overcome the obstacles.

The aim of this article is to prove the supremacy of Strategic Choice Approach (SCA) versus Hard priority methods like MADM5.It should be born in mind that SCA method has four steps to set priorities between strategies that are Designing, Shaping, Choosing and Comparing, respectively. Hence, this paper introduces a qualitative and almost newer method such as SCA even though it countenances other quantitative priority methods such as MEDM. In this article, the University of Science and Culture is the case study serving as an academic environment and its objectives and strategies have been prioritized. Ultimately, results were satisfactory as far as prioritizing is concerned and it enabled us to define the consistency and chronological order among items using Multi Attribute Decision Making. In Conclusion, the strategies face with each other to be compared in terms of consistency, so any item which has the most consistency with the others, has the highest priority.
