Abstract :
Entrepreneurial ecosystem can lead to entrepreneurship development and be considered a strategy for economic development of countries; However, various studies have shown that limited knowledge of the factors and dimensions of the entrepreneurial ecosystem causes the loss of resources and lack of access to the benefits of implementing the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to explain the factors and dimensions of entrepreneurship ecosystem in manufacturing industries based on the data-based method. The present study was a qualitative and quantitative mix. Qualitative research method using data-based method to construct a conceptual model of entrepreneurial ecosystem has used experts familiar with the subject of entrepreneurship and ecosystems, which includes 16 people, using snowball sampling method. Data in this section are collected through semi-structured interviews. In order to analyze the data, a three-step process of open, axial and selective coding has been used. The results of this section show the paradigm model of the entrepreneurial ecosystem. In the quantitative part of the research, based on the sub-categories and concepts obtained in the qualitative stage, a researcher-made questionnaire was first developed, which was distributed among the members of the statistical sample after an initial review of validity and reliability. In this section, confirmatory factor analysis has been used to confirm the components of the entrepreneurial ecosystem paradigm model and data analysis. The results of this section indicate the appropriateness of each measurement model as part of the designed model.
