Abstract

Innovative success includes creativity, speed and specialist knowledge. Today organizatons
can no longer afford to do so with their own research and development department. It requires
an opening up of the innovation process in order to be able to use the creatives, experts and
talents outside the organizaton and their ideas, technologies and competences. Therefore, open
innovation is necessary for the competitiveness and sustainability of organizations. The purpose
of this survey study is to design an intrapreneurship model based on open innovation at Payame
Noor University. The target population includes managers of Payame Noor University in
technology incubator, centers of entrepreneurship and industry relationship as well as managers
with the background of entrepreneurial activities. In this research, first by reviewing related
literature, the initial framework of components of entrepreneurship based on open innovation
was identified and entered Delphi process. Therfore required data were collected using Delphi
questionnaires and analyzed using fuzzy Delphi method. The results showed that
entrepreneurship based on open innovation has two dimensions of organizational and human,
each includes different components. These components by dimension are process,
organizational structure, content (from organizational dimension), and motivational factors,
leadership and culture (from human dimension components). Finally, each component has
different sub-indicators that were identified and analyzed in this study.
