Analyzing the Mental patterns of the Academic Entreprneurship Effects on NTBFs Development

The field of university and the field of entrepreneurship have a strong relationship with each other and play an important role in the development of the country, individuals, organizations and companies. Spin-off Companies is one of the companies that have reciprocal relations with the field of university entrepreneurship. In fact, university mechanisms have multiple effects in different dimensions and categories on the development or non-development of these companies, and it is necessary to recognize these effects in order to plan properly for universities and related companies. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to identify the thought patterns that govern the effects of university support mechanisms on the development of university-based companies. For this purpose, three universities of Imam Khomeini, Razi Kermanshah and Yazd University were selected for case study, data were collected from faculty members, administrators, and graduate students, including 62 experts from all three universities, in the form of interviews and questionnaires. To identify and determine the categories of academic entrepreneurship, inductive qualitative content analysis method and to analyze thought patterns, Q analytical model have been used. The results showed that mechanisms and categories of the university were in eight groups: university policy changes, individual factors, university rules, infrastructure, de-monopolization, macro factors, partnerships and barriers to corporate development. Universities also have relatively good effects on the development of companies in general, but the relationship between companies and universities is weak due to the lack of companies.
