Extended Abstract
Introduction and Objective: Knowledge-based agriculture is realized in the era of traditional agriculture to modern agriculture. At this stage, on the one hand, the development of agricultural economics requires scientific knowledge and on the other hand, the field of science and technology is still relatively weak, therefore, the process of creating a knowledge-based agricultural economy should be considered a long-term process. The goals of green agriculture development and sustainable agricultural development are exactly synonymous with knowledge-based economics because this knowledge can create decision support systems in various economic fields to create added value. Due to the spread and influence of the internet on the entire population, Startup companies have grown significantly in the last decades. Given that science and technology parks are not very old, studies are few about assessing their performance or units based in them.
Material and Methods: Based on this, the present study has examined the competitive performance of 46 technology units located in the incubator of Sari’s township using the presented index in the calculation of the human development index (HDI) by the United Nations. The variables used in the modified index include: technological achievements (scientific and technical), index of economic activity and commercialization of achievements (economically), the index of human resource management (Team work), and the interaction index with the incubator and Technical unites (interaction and synergy).
Results: The results of the study showed that none of the TUs achieved grade A (a high score of 0.75), in other words, the geometric mean of the advantages gained by TUs on each of the axes was not excellent compared to other TUs. Also, the second and third ranks of performance were related to startups in the agricultural sector and, the majority of TUs (58 %) achieved a score between 0.25 to 0.5, which is not very good and even 36 % of TUs achieved less than that range, Based on the results of this study, it revealed that 85 % of TUs on the planning and management of human resources, as well as the economic activities and achievements of achievements in Grade C and D, are achieved, i.e., a score between zero and 0.5. According to the research results, there is not much difference between the average scores of technology units in different sectors of industry, agriculture and services.
Conclusion: Therefore, it is suggested that an empowerment program be defined according to the components of each of the four axes in order to place a larger share of technology units in grades A and B. Also, by holding appropriate training courses and using efficient Mentoring services, the capabilities of TUs can be enhanced through the planning and management of human resources as well as the economic activities and achievements of achievements.
