Proposing a Model to Recognize Dimensions and Measure the Absorption Capacity A Case Study of Nanotechnology in Iran

Journal Title: Roshd-e-Fanavari - Year 2015, Vol 11, Issue 42

Abstract

"in this research some impressive indicates of absorption capacity are specified. In addition,the most effective indices in creation of value from foreign-developedtechnology and using probable opportunities are identified. Therefore, the absorption capacity dimensions of nanotechnology are classified according to expert opinion and growing ideas theorem leads us and finally with a step by step correction, a conceptual model is developed. Based upon basic model, a questionnaire is designed with 29 questions and 600 of them distributed in target society. The 267 questionnaires was returned and the results with Exploratory Function Analysis (EFA) surveyed. In the first step, results showed that there are 9 fundamental factors which consist of 29 main elements and 1 fundamental factor was added by using the model which designed with literature review. In the second step, 10 elements of first step had been included in 5 factors. The structural model of equations are considered for both two steps. Outcomes confirm the first extracted model. The most important factors of absorption capacity, which specified, are respectively: Maintenance 0.84, Exploring 0.55, interactional competence 0.46, internal capacities 0.35 and evolution 0.21. All of these factors could be an underlay for overall strategies of Iran."
