Abstract :
Technology transfer is a sensitive and complicated process that if not done with knowledge and research, will lead to costs and also huge losses. while the audience of this process are mainly developing countries, it can be noted that studying and investigating the process of technology transfer to developing countries, generally shows weaknesses due to ignorance of the terms, conditions and requirements available, and also the policies and goals of technology transfer, that transferor will follow them, leading to irreversible failures, and the applicant has prevented from obtaining the original technology. Hence, in this study, due to the importance of technology and its transfer in the automobile industry, while focusing on the factors influencing this process in Iran Khodro Diesel Company, that is among the largest and most important domestic automakers, it has been tried that the weaknesses and factors that influence the process and provoke these weaknesses have been detected. Also those transfer methods of technology which are according to national polices and strategies, have led to less dependence, and further, after discussion with experts and specialists in this field survey, and using process models, hierarchical analysis, in the Expert Choice soft wear, to compare any of existing standards and methods are discussed, and the best methods, in order of preference, are introduced. And finally, all research results and achievements are summarized in terms of the most appropriateselection model of technology transfer method, and algorithm design, which help to facility decision-making in this selection, and also recommended to other companies in this industry.
