Purpose: Now that more than a decade has passed since the implementation of the law "Supporting Knowledge-Based Companies and Institutions and Commercializing Innovations and Inventions", the issue of evaluating the level of achievement of the predetermined goals in this law and analyzing the quality of achievements regarding their positive and negative effects on the target community is of great importance. The present study was conducted with the aim of presenting an evaluation model of supporting policy for knowledge-based companies and institutions.
Methodology: In this qualitative research, the statistical population of the research consisted of two parts: the first were documents, plans, drafts, the text of the law, regulations, instructions, correspondence and administrative orders related to the law and the second were managers, experts, policymakers and implementers of the policy. The collection of research data was conducted using a documentary-library method and fieldwork through semi-structured interviews with academic and executive experts in the field of policymaking. The sampling method was snowball and purposeful theoretical saturation, through which we obtained the opinions from fifteen experts. We analyzed the research data using content analysis method and Atlas T software, version 7.
Findings: Based on the research results, 363 basic themes, thirty-two organizing themes, and nine comprehensive themes were discovered and presented in the formwork of a model with such key structural items as policy functions, desirable characteristics, evaluation structure, environmental factors, evaluation scheduling, appropriateness, efficiency, effectiveness, and usefulness.
Originality: In this study, we considered semantic commonalities of evaluation literature and, in accordance with the context and subject of evaluation, the desired evaluation approach and model of supporting policy for knowledge-based companies and institutions was presented.
Implications: formulating quantitative, specific, and measurable objectives for supporting policy in knowledge-based companies and institutions is the suggestion of this research.
