Abstract

The Early-Stage companies in Iran are not exempt from this rule, but how much science and technology foresight as a time-consuming and costly process can actually lead to the improvement of the aforementioned companies' performance is questionable. This article aims to investigate the impact of science and technology foresight on various aspects of organizational performance in Early-Stage companies and a case study of Qazvin Science and Technology Park companies, which uses a balanced scorecard to measure organizational performance. The data have been collected in two ways, documentary and field. In order to collect field data, a closed questionnaire tool was used and the opinions of experts in the companies considered for the research were collected with the help of this tool. Then, in order to analyze the data, structural equation modeling was used to explain the relationships between variables. The findings of the research show that science and technology foresight significantly affects various dimensions of organizational performance in Early-Stage companies. Based on the values obtained for the path coefficients (β), science and technology foresight has the greatest impact on customer (0.881), learning (0.857), financial (0.790) and processes (0.757) dimensions respectively.
