Abstract
|
Idea generators and investors are always interested in advancing innovative ideas and generating
wealth from them. One of the gaps in previous research in this field is the failure to pay attention to
different criteria and strategic paths in advancing innovative ideas from various fields. This research
introduced a strategy for advancing innovative ideas and identifying the strategic drivers of small and
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in various technological fields. The indicators were derived from
the literature review and expert interviews, and they were chosen using a checklist and interviews to
determine their relationships. The fuzzy cognitive map in question was then created using the
FCMapper software. Strategic driver indicators related to the advancement of innovative ideas were
identified. Thus, it is recommended that idea developers consider these indicators when presenting
ideas and that experts and investors consider them when evaluating innovative ideas. According to the
findings, the Persian Gulf Science and Technology Park and its ten active fields each have their own
strategic paths for advancing innovative ideas.
