Abstract

Technology transfer is a process in which technology supplier can transfer technology to receiver by numerous activities. Now in Iran, lots of companies are facing difficulties in correct implementation of technology transfer. Varying complexity and specific nature of each of the technologies has been caused many problems to technology transfer process design. In the other hand, the lack of integration between the components of the technology transfer process and the lack of consistency in the way of transferring with the company's strategies has been caused additional difficulties. In this paper, we attempt to design the model of technology transfer process in the oil, gas and petrochemical which including three stages of making decision, technology transfer and acquisition the knowledge. The model is derived from the literature of survey and is developed based on the experiences with adding necessary elements in order to resolve the problems. The proposed model uses the SWARA and the ROC technique to assign the weights to the model elements. In order to validate the model, the proposed model is employed in RIPI to transfer the technology of DMD (Demercaptanization of Distillate).
