Abstract :
The primary objective of the present study is the identification of the optimal strategy for technology development in the Iran s automotive industry based on the main technical competency (Mc.R. Glenn s model). To do so, the study’s theoretical foundations and the domestic and foreign related works have been investigated. In the next step, the model and the variables, as well as the conceptual model’s framework and the research questionnaire, have been designed, and the study questionnaire was administered to 384 individuals that included the managers and experts of Iran s automotive industry following which they were subjected to analysis and preliminary and final examinations in statistical terms for testing the research hypotheses. The results indicated the confirmation of the study’s primary hypothesis as well as all the three secondary hypotheses in such a way that, according to the results of the secondary hypotheses suggesting the existence of significant relationships between the variables, namely “absolute power scale” and “relative power scale and being the key factor,” and the dependent variable (Little’s strategy competencies for technology development in Iran s automotive industry industry), it can be eventually concluded that there is a significant relationship between the evaluation scales in the main technical competencies and Little’s strategy competencies for technology development in Iran s automotive industry and the primary hypothesis is consequently affirmed for a Little’s model stronger than the other models. In the end, suggestions have been presented in line with the study results for the technology development in Iran s automotive industry in line with the scales in Little’s model.
