EVALUATION AND SCRUTINY OF THE APPROPRIATE METHOD OF TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER USING DATA ENVELOPMENT ANALYSIS (DEA) METHOD

Abstract

One of the problems of the developing nations industry is the lack of imported technology transfer’s ineffectiveness, which the major reason can be the lack of observing the technology transfer phases or lack of using the proper method technology transfer. The main purpose of this research is using the data envelopment analysis method in order to determine the proper method for technology transfer in country’s industry. Considering the aim of the research, it is practical, although considering its method, it is descriptive-analytical, also among different descriptive researching methods it is classified among occasion perusals, and library and field methods were used for data collection. Additionally input and output indicators were extracted by Delphi method, and the data were analyzed with an improper output and assistance of GAMS software, by the DEA method. In this research, the efficiency of the decision maker units in the revenue condition with a variable return to scale are assessed the DEA method. According to the results, in the revenue condition even with a variable return to scale the average is 0.9084 and the efficiency of eight methods among thirteen methods is equal to one. Thus by imparting one of the existed ranking methods in DEA, a model is proposed in order to be able to obtain more accurate results of units ranking. What’s more the results show that joint venture is the most proper method of technology transfer and networking is the least useful method
