A Fuzzy-Based Model to Assess Technological Entrepreneurship Capabilities: Cases of High-Tech firms

In today's highly competitive global economy, it is critical for high-tech firms to develop effective technological entrepreneurship. Drawing on the concept of technological entrepreneurship and a fuzzy logic approach, this paper introduces a fuzzy logic-based method to assess technological entrepreneurship capabilities. The effort involve in identifying a set of concepts and dimensions of technological entrepreneurship capabilities to develop the inference system, specifying the fuzzy relationships among these concepts, and assessing the technological entrepreneurship capabilities of cases through proposed fuzzy logic model. Based on the results of this study, strengths and gaps of technological entrepreneurship capabilities for each studied firms determined. Cases also categorized into four distinct levels. The results also indicated that the presence of a company in a science and technology park and its activity in high-tech fields are not sufficient to prove that company's technological entrepreneurship capabilities.
