A new definition and framework for the development of a national technology strategy: The case of nanotechnology for Iran

A New Model of Petrochemical Technology Strategic Planning

“…Besides, in relation to the specificity of TSs, models can be arranged as general TS and partial TS. Different perspectives and researches of the models of TS formulation are shown in (1) Formulating national strategy of nanotechnology proposed by Ghazinoory et al (2009). They proposed their model using STEEP analysis, SWOT analysis, critical technologies, and technology planning approach.…”
