چکیده:
Job creation, income generation, and natural resources conservation, all are
pillars of sustainable development for industries using new technologies.
Despite the importance of new technologies, developing countries face many
limitations, such as economic and political problems, which make the
development and transfer of technologies more difficult. In this study, we
focus on development of new technologies in Iran’s petrochemical industry,
including nanotechnologies, biotechnologies, and membranes. Solutions are
proposed to improve the current unsatisfactory status. For that matter, taking
into account experts’ viewpoints, a new technology tree is suggested for Iran’s
petrochemical industry. The literature on technology assessment and
prioritization is reviewed, and then primary indicators are proposed based on
ability, attractiveness, and patent features. Forty industry experts are
surveyed and the results are analyzed using face validity, reliability test, and
factor analysis, by which the current status of new technologies is assessed
