English abstract

Purpose: The objective of this study is to identify the challenges hindering the formation of Knowledge Enterprises. Methodology: This research follows a pragmatic approach and combines library research techniques with field methodologies to collect data. It utilizes a descriptive-comparative method, including a Delphi survey. The study involves professors specializing in knowledge and information science from Tehran universities, as well as senior experts in knowledge-based businesses. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 40 participants. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistical measures (mean, percentage) and SPSS 25 software. Findings: The study found that obstacles to establishing Knowledge Enterprises include both internal and external factors. Internal hurdles consist of managerial constraints, operational and structural limitations, and educational barriers. External challenges include environmental, economic, financial, cultural, legal, and administrative constraints. Conclusion: Organizations and knowledge-based enterprises can address internal obstacles such as managerial constraints, operational and structural limitations, as well as external challenges like environmental, economic, financial, cultural, legal, and administrative barriers. This approach can create a supportive environment for the development of knowledge-based businesses and products. Value: This research offers valuable insights for policymakers in Iran by identifying barriers to establishing Knowledge Enterprises. This information can help in developing strategies to overcome obstacles and promote the production of knowledge-based products.
