Abstract

In order to explain the ambiguous relationship between entrepreneurship and innovation, the present study has used the entrepreneurship motivation index and to investigate the possibility of improving Iran's innovation outputs by focusing on the factors affecting the motivation index. A systematic model is presented. the system model data were extracted from international entrepreneurship and innovation reports and then causal relationships between variables were simulated using Vensim DSS software and in the period 2008-2040. After ensuring the performance of the model based on validation tests, policies to improve innovation output indicators for Iran were reviewed. The results showed that, contrary to studies that emphasized that corruption as a lubricant of the wheel of the economy, is a good driver to increase opportunity entrepreneurship through the effects of bribery, the relationship between corruption and the ratio of entrepreneurship with opportunistic motivation to necessity motivation, inverse and two-way. Thus, anti-corruption policies such as political stability have a significant effect on improving the entrepreneurial motivation index and innovation outputs. This research illustrated that competition reduces corruption when implementing supportive policies such as business freedom. This is because opportunistic entrepreneurs are reducing government officials rent-seeking by intensifying local competition. Thus, opportunistic rather than necessity entrepreneurship provides the conditions for promoting competition, institutional change, and controlling corruption, and leads to the promotion of innovation.
