“…Culture comprises several elements: failure rate and risk-taking, fostering self-employment and success stories, creating a positive image of entrepreneurship, and blessings for innovation. When these factors and cultures drive new business creation and self-employment, entrepreneurship and levels of business ownership can increase (Davari & Najmabadi, 2018). Anderson (2015) explained in his book that a policy is an intentional action taken by an actor or group of actors in dealing with a problem of concern.…”

Entrepreneurship development in Malaysia has received much attention since the launch of the New Economic Policy (NEP) was made a major national agenda through a two-pronged approach to poverty eradication and societal restructuring. However, the goal of creating and developing a group of viable and competitive commercial and industrial societies has yet to be achieved. In this context, the National Entrepreneurship Policy 2030 (DKN) was created and made the backbone of all strategies for forming an entrepreneurial nation. Therefore, the formation of a Schoolpreneur model can catalyse the production of high-quality and credible young entrepreneurs in the future. Therefore, this paper discusses the determinants in the entrepreneurial ecosystem that are appropriate for the secondary school environment and proposes a conceptual framework of the secondary school model of entrepreneurship that will help improve the effectiveness of school entrepreneurship.

“…Following recent changes in the national entrepreneurship ecosystem, including the rise of e-commerce, the emergence of business angel networks and venture capitalists, and an increase in entrepreneurship training programmes and advisory services offered by the government, universities and other educational institutions (Davari and Najmabadi, 2018;Jozi, 2015), some efforts have been made to promote women's entrepreneurship. For example, in 2017, the non-profit, non-governmental organisation -the Entrepreneurship Development Foundation for Women and Youth -launched the My Business Path initiative aimed at promoting entrepreneurial activities among women and youth.…”

“…Iran, as a developing country, has undertaken various initiatives since 2005, such as setting up incubators, building an entrepreneurship college and teaching entrepreneurship concepts at universities, building business accelerators, science and technology parks, venture capital firms and other development activities. It has attempted to develop its own entrepreneurial ecosystem (Davari and Najmabadi, 2018; Salamzadeh and Kawamorita Kesim, 2017). Since 2007, the first startups have emerged in the field of information technology in Iran (Salamzadeh and Kawamorita Kesim, 2017) and over the years, tourism, health, education, smart cities, blockchain and many more have emerged in other fields (Rezaei et al , 2017).…”

Purpose To avoid wastage of resources of a startup accelerator, this paper aims to present a model for accelerator managers’ decision-making to enter startups into acceleration and initial capitalization using a fuzzy Delphi approach and an affinity diagram is one of the design thinking tools. Design/methodology/approach The high failure rate of startups has led to a waste of resources and a lot of capital. This failure rate is much higher in the early stages of startups and subsequently higher risk. This is where startup accelerators play a role in supporting startups and provide startups with the capital needed to accelerate. The point to note at this point is that choosing the team with the lowest success potential by the accelerators will eliminate their capital and energy. The purpose of this research is to avoid this wastage. Findings In this research, using the Fuzzy Delphi method and aggregation of opinions of 5 experts and managers of the acceleration field, additional criteria were eliminated and 35 criteria were considered as final criteria of the evaluation model. In the final stage, a 10-member committee of managers, specialists and faculty members was formed and the criteria were grouped using the affinity diagram method. Finally, the final model was presented considering the components of a business plan. Originality/value Using design thinking methods and a combination of that with a fuzzy and quantitative method is one of the contributions of this research. Also, making a model for selection startups in the acceleration stage of fundraising is another value of this research.
