Abstract :
Today, with the advent of technology businesses and the formation of a knowledge-based economy, the importance of technology valuation has increased. A wide variety of factors in the form of a causal system will affect the issue of technology valuation. However, a significant portion of the feedback can appear over a period of time and with a not necessarily linear behavior. Therefore, the analysis of a set of factors affecting the category of technology valuation in the form of a systemic and at the same time dynamic view can affect the efficiency and effectiveness of relevant decisions. Therefore, in the present study, due to the dynamic nature of the decision-making problem and faced with various evaluation criteria in the process of analysis and selection of technology evaluation strategies, a combined analysis method based on the dynamic systems approach and multi-criteria decision-making is presented. The proposed model has been implemented to evaluate the technology of the Teflon container manufacturing industry as a case study. The results indicate the efficiency of the proposed dynamic model in analyzing the relationships between variables that have a direct and indirect impact on the issue of technology valuation. In addition, using the TOPSIS and analytical hierarchical process methods, strategies based on the simulation results are evaluated and finally prioritized.
