Entrepreneurs

Venture capital companies play an important role in the economy of countries and greatly influences economic and employment growth. VC is the provision of capital for companies and entrepreneurs that is prone to leaping and growing value and, of course, a lot of risk. However, the volume of venture capital in our country is far less than the economic capacity. Many of analysts consider having no model for venture capital in our country as the main reason for this. Therefore, the present study by the qualitative method aims to design decision-making native model for selecting venture capital investment in emerging companies. To achieve this goal, by collecting qualitative data through literature reviews and having deep interview with experts and venture capital firms, a native decision-making model for selecting venture capital in emerging companies is presented. The methodology of this research based on purpose, is fundamental and through the qualitative methods, thematic analysis method is used. Purposeful sampling method is used and interviewing experts continued to theoretical saturation level that means the number of selected samples includes 16 elites. The native decision-making model for selecting venture capital in emerging companies presented in this research has 16 main themes and 86 sub-themes.

The present study aims to investigate the mediating role of reflective identity in the relationship between neuroeconomics and entrepreneurial decision-making . The research method is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive survey based on structural equation modeling in terms of nature and procedure. A questionnaire was used to collect field data. The face and content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by experts and the construct validity was calculated using confirmatory factor analysis. The reliability of the research tools was calculated using Cranach’s alpha test and a composite reliability higher than 0.7 was achieved, which reveals the appropriate validity of the research tools. The statistical population of the research consists of 110 entrepreneurs based in the Science and Technology Park of Zahedan. Morgan's table was applied to determine the sample size, and 86 individuals were selected as the statistical sample by using simple randomization. For analyzing the research data and answering the research hypotheses, SPSS23 and Smart PLS software and the structural equation modeling test were used. The research findings indicated that reflective identity has a mediating role in the relationship between neuroeconomics and entrepreneurial decision-making of the entrepreneurs based in the Zahedan Science and Technology Park. It should be mentioned that a better understanding of the issues pertaining to the upcoming choices for entrepreneurs will lead to better decisions. Therefore, this understanding of the neural basis of decision-making can lead to entrepreneurial decision-making in a special way, which often includes risky choices under conditions of uncertainty.
