Abstract
Aims: Emerging sciences and technologies have huge potential in the field of innovation; therefore, they should be protected against large uncertainties caused by unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate biotechnology forecasting innovation pathways based on its convergence with other technologies.
Information and Methods: In this systematic review, by the future-oriented assessment of biotechnology innovation pathways, future biotechnology strategies were developed at the national level. All potential applications of the future innovation pathways of this technology were identified in the combination and convergence with nanotechnologies, information, and cognitive science and technology. The strength and weakness of the effects and barriers in all areas of biotechnology were considered in terms of the short-, mid-, and long-term; in the same timeframe, the barriers to these technologies were identified in the field of combined dual technologies and ultimately for biotechnology itself, and future strategies for biotechnology were proposed based on 4 strategies, including ignorance, investment, exploitation, and opportunism.
Findings: In the field of biotechnology- information technology- in the mid-term, the greatest impact was on improving the quality of human life, improving social outcomes, and increasing the level of innovation, and in the field of biotechnology- nanotechnology and biotechnology- cognitive science on improving the quality of human life, increasing security and defending power, and improving the positive social consequences.
Conclusion: The highest number of applications is the mid-term. The "exploitation" strategy should be used in biotechnology- cognitive science and biotechnology- nanotechnology, respectively. The "investment" strategy should be the most widely used in the common areas of biology with information technology. In the common areas of biotechnology with nanotechnology and cognitive sciences, the most application is the “opportunism" strategy.

Framework for formulation of technology strategy on the basis of strategy map and key processes (Case Study: Khuzestan Steel Co)

Volume 20, Issue 2 (6-2016)
Abstract
In the past two decades, explaining the technology strategy as one of the most crucial needs of various entities was particularly considered and many experts in the field classified it at a higher level than other operating strategies in terms of its profound influence on other operating firm operational strategies. The aim of developing technology strategy in an organization is the method of achieving competitive advantage position and how to realize the long-term technological goals. In this study in order to formulate technology strategy in the steel industry after reviewing the conducted studies a model was presented based on the strategy map and the identification of key processes. First, the key processes were identified according to the company's strategic goals. Then, the key process technologies with process approach were identified through the interview with senior managers and the study of electronic sources. Finally, in order to evaluate the identified technologies, the matrix of technology feasibility/attractiveness was used. By putting the technologies in the matrix, 7 technologies were placed in the area of high feasibility and attractiveness, 1 technology in the area of low feasibility and attractiveness, 4 technologies in the area of moderate feasibility and attractiveness, and 2 technologies in the area of high feasibility and moderate attractiveness. For each area an appropriate strategy was proposed.
