Entrepreneurship education is very important in promoting entrepreneurship and childhood is the best period to create deep entrepreneurial attitude. Therefore, educational programs in primary school must be planned towards creating awareness and improving entrepreneurial attitude. Storytelling is one of the entrepreneurship education methods in primary school. In this study we aim to verify the effect of entrepreneurship education by storytelling on entrepreneurial attitude improvement in primary school students by a quasi-experimental research design. The Teacher-researcher implemented instructional program by storytelling method in experimental group. Participants are 85 students (45 experimental group, 40 control group) in Salam Fereshtegan Yasin School in Tehran. The results point out that entrepreneurship education by storytelling improves entrepreneurial attitude as well as its dimensions including creativity, need for achievement, internal locus of control, and self-esteem in students. Also the family involving in business moderates the relationship between entrepreneurship education by storytelling and students’ entrepreneurial attitude. These findings help to prepare and implement entrepreneurship education programs in primary schools.

The role of absorptive capacity, social capital and managerial capabilities in franchise businesses
(The case of Iranian fast-food franchisees)
Abstract: During the last years, franchising strategy has been considered for developing and running a business in a variety of industries. Give the lack of franchisee perspective, and the importance of franchisee’s capabilities in demonstrating the better performance, this study examines the role of absorptive capacity, social capital and managerial capabilities in franchisees’ performance. By taking a quantitative approach, this study collected the data from 122 franchisees in fast-food industry in Iran. Structural equation modeling (Aarstad et al.), based on AMOS 22 software is used to analysis the data in the study. The result of the study shows absorptive capacity, social capital, and managerial capability significantly affects the franchisee’s performance. Moreover, environmental competitiveness moderates the relationship between absorptive capacity, managerial capabilities, and performance in franchised outlets.

In order to evaluate the effect of previous knowledge to identify opportunities, four dimensions of prior knowledge identified based on literature review, then a conceptual model was developed and the assumptions were determined. The measures of and research and questions were determined based on literature review. The validity of its content was checked based on expert opinion. Statistical data is collected from the entire community, including senior executives of 80 tourism agencies. 67 questionnaires were completed. The research results suggest that technology and market knowledge has a direct and significant impact on opportunity recognition.

Identifying the general competencies of Iranian cluster development agents
abstract Cluster development agent (CDA) is a person or a group who has a central leading role and critical function in all stages of cluster development process. CDA as an important agent of change, has full authority in executing the cluster development project, where he has a leading and facilitating role throughout the cluster developing path. Therefore, it could be claimed that the success of the cluster development project directly depends on the CDA's competencies. CDA's competencies could be divided into two different categories: general and process-based competencies. General competencies refer to a set of knowledge, skills and traits which a CDA is expected to possess at all stages of cluster development process in order to illustrate an appropriate performance. The current study aims to identify CDAs’ general competencies in Iranian industrial clusters. This exploratory study has been done implementing qualitative narrative interviews with a sample of 15 CDAs who were purposefully selected and participated in the study. The interviews had been continued till when the theoretical saturation has been granted. Findings of the current study highlighted the CDA's general competencies as following: Negotiation and bargaining skill, Administrative skills, Professional ethics observance, Effective social networking skill, Influencing and persuasion skills, Institutionalizing skill, feedback giving and acceptance skills, role modeling and benchmarking skills, the teaching-learning skills, problem-based decision-making, information and cluster advertising skills. These findings are discussed and their implementations are outlined in the paper.
