چکیده

فناوری‌های نوظهور، عرصه‌ای بکر برای جهش علمی و اقتصادی بوده و به­ سبب ویژگی‌های آن، نیازمند همکاری با مجموعه‌های داخلی و خارجی است. یکی از راهکارهای مناسب جهت اکتساب این نوع فناوری‌ها، استفاده از رویکرد تحقیق و توسعه باز بوده که لازمه اثربخشی و کارایی این روش، شناسایی چالش‌های اجرایی و مدیریت قبل از وقوع و داشتن سناریو مقابله با آن است. پژوهش حاضر باهدف شناسایی و وزن‌دهی چالش‌های فراروی رویکرد تحقیق و توسعه باز جهت اکتساب فناوری نوظهور حوزه نانو در ایران انجام شده است. با استفاده از مطالعات کتابخانه‌ای 29 چالش از منابع داخلی و خارجی استخراج شد که در طی سه مرحله نظرسنجی خبرگان حوزه نانو که با روش دلفی فازی انجام گرفت، 25 چالش در سه مقوله (داخلی، خارجی، تلفیقی) انتخاب و با روش آنتروپی شانون وزن‌دهی شدند. جهت صحت ­سنجی چالش‌ها، مقایسه‌ای با شش پژوهش مرتبط انجام و راهکارهای بهبود پیشنهاد شد. یافته‌ها نمایان‌گر پُر­اهمیت­ بودن چالش «عدم حفاظت از مالکیت فکری» و شناسایی چهار چالش «حفظ تعادل بین همکاری تحقیق و توسعه داخلی و خارجی»، «ناتوانی در کنترل»، «عدم همگرایی تحقیقات» و «ناهمسویی راهبرد» است که کمتر پژوهشی به آنها پرداخته است.

چکیده [English]

Emerging technologies are drivers for scientific and economic leaps. Due to their characteristics, their development requires cooperation with domestic and foreign research networks. One of the appropriate strategies for acquiring this type of technology is to use an open R&D approach. Identifying executive and management challenges beforehand is a requirement for the effectiveness and efficiency of this method. This paper aims to identify and weigh the challenges of an open R&D approach for the acquisition of emerging nanotechnology technology in Iran. After performing library studies, 29 challenges were extracted from internal and external sources. During the three staged surveys conducted by the fuzzy Delphi method, 25 challenges were selected in three categories (internal, external, integrated) and by weighed Shannon entropy method, a comparison study was made with six related studies. Finally, some strategies were advised. Findings indicate the importance of the challenge of "lack of protection of intellectual property" and the identification of four challenges of "maintaining a balance between R&D cooperation, internal and external, inability to control, lack of convergence of research, strategy inconsistency" that less research has addressed.
