Abstract

The purpose of this research is to provide a management model for the development of emerging technologies based on the stabilization of supply chains in the agricultural industry. The type of research is applied in terms of purpose and exploratory-mixed in terms of paradigm. In the first step, the effective factors were extracted through a systematic review of the research background and confirmed through a semi-structured interview with 15 university experts and managers of the agricultural jihad using the Delphi method. The output of this stage was 184 components and 34 subcategories, which were categorized into six dimensions based on the qualitative method of the theory arising from the data. In the second step, the dimensions were verified by the structural equation method with Amos software, and it was found that the selection of concepts, the results of the quantitative part confirmed the findings of the qualitative part. Intervening conditions, background conditions and central phenomenon indirectly have a positive and significant relationship with the consequences and causal conditions indirectly with the consequences. Also, the causal conditions indirectly have a positive effect on the management model strategies for the development of emerging technologies based on the stabilization of supply chains.
