Mark.R.Gallon's model indicators test to determine the optimaltechnology development strategy in Iran's automotive industry

The primary objective of the present study is the identification of the optimal strategy fortechnology development in the Iran's automotive industry based on the main technicalcompetency (Mc.R. Glenn's model). To do so, the study’s theoretical foundations and thedomestic and foreign related works have been investigated. In the next step, the model and thevariables, as well as the conceptual model’s framework and the research questionnaire, havebeen designed, and the study questionnaire was administered to ۳۸۴ individuals that includedthe managers and experts of Iran's automotive industry following which they were subjected toanalysis and preliminary and final examinations in statistical terms for testing the researchhypotheses. The results indicated the confirmation of the study’s primary hypothesis as well asall the three secondary hypotheses in such a way that, according to the results of the secondaryhypotheses suggesting the existence of significant relationships between the variables, namely“absolute power scale” and “relative power scale and being the key factor,” and the dependentvariable (Little’s strategy competencies for technology development in Iran's automotiveindustry industry), it can be eventually concluded that there is a significant relationship betweenthe evaluation scales in the main technical competencies and Little’s strategy competencies fortechnology development in Iran's automotive industry and the primary hypothesis isconsequently 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 developmentin Iran's automotive industry in line with the scales in Little’s model.
