Abstract

This research was aimed at developing a Strategic Partnership model for small and medium enterprises in Software Industry. The research method was exploratory mixed (qualitative and quantitative). In the qualitative section, after analyzing theoretical foundations and developing a conceptual model, the Delphi method (a panel of 20 experts) was used for the theoretical confirmation of the model. In field analysis section, data were randomly collected from managers of 350 companies. Library method, Delphi panel and researcher-made questionnaire were used for data collection. Validity and reliability of Delphi section as well as researcher-made questionnaire were calculated and confirmed. The Delphi panel qualitative analysis’ was done by coding, the quantitative analysis was done by statistical analysis, and also survey data were analyzed using Confirmed Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling. After three stages of expert opinion poll, the Delphi analysis resulted in the theoretical confirmation of the Strategic Partnership model with 35 components in the form of five dimensions. In the following, the results of Structural Equation Modeling based on field data showed that in the fitted Strategic Partnership model, the partnerships propulsion has a positive effect on the selection of partners and the selection of partners has a positive effect on the design and implementation of the partnership. Also, the challenges of partnership as a mediator variable have a negative effect on the design and implementation of participation. Ultimately, the implementation and design of participation also have a positive effect on the outcomes of participation.
