The logic governing the selection of academic research (Case study of Sharif University of Technology)

با وجودِ اينكه قابليت تبديل تحقيقات دانشگاهي به محصولات تجاري، عنصر اصلي شكل‌گيري شركتهاي زايشي است، بررسي منطق انتخاب موضوع تحقيق دانشگاهي در ادبيات علمي دانشگاه كارآفرين مغفول مانده است. در اين پژوهش عوامل موثر بر انتخاب موضوع تحقيق دانشگاهي با استفاده از روش رويش نظريه در دانشگاه صنعتي شريف به عنوانِ يكي از مهمترين دانشگاههاي صنعتي كشور موردِ بررسي قرار گرفت. درنتيجه اين تحقيق، از ميانِ عوامل احصا شده، دو عامل «اطمينان از نتيجه» و «قابليت تدوين مقاله»، به عنوانِ اساسي‌ترين معيارهاي انتخاب موضوع تحقيق دانشگاهي شناسايي شدند. اين منطق انتخاب باعث شده است كه اقبال گسترده‌اي به سمت انجام تحقيقات كليشه‌اي با محوريت توسعه منفعلانه فعاليتهاي تحقيقات پيشين شكل بگيرد.
