Abstract

In this study, two different approaches have been considered to identify the factors affecting open innovation in digital entrepreneurship. Initially, using the content analysis method, all the factors affecting open innovation from the perspective of different researchers all over the world have been identified, coded and categorized. These factors include a total of four main groups and 27 factors. Then, in order to identify the factors affecting open innovation in Iran as a developing country, the thematic analysis has been used. For this purpose, with ten experts in the field of open innovation and digital entrepreneurship in Iran, a total of 25 h of semi-structured interviews were conducted, which led to the identification of 17 factors in four main categories. After identifying these factors, each of the two groups was prioritized using the Shannon entropy. Finally, the results of these two paths have been compared as factors affecting open innovation in Iran and worldwide. The results show that the most important factor in the world is the adoption of strategies based on innovation and knowledge and entrepreneurial characteristics in individuals, while the most important factor in Iran is having a vision and a suitable programme for business and entrepreneurial characteristics in individuals.
