Exploring Managerial Challenges of International Technological Alliances in Iran Petrochemical Industry (A Case study of Technological Alliance in MTP

Due to a lot of rich oil and gas resources is one of the main bases of Iran petrochemical industry is considered as one of the main factors of economical development. But exploration and converting these resources into the high value products via petrochemical processes need advanced technologies, which are mostly under control of developed countries. Since, technology transfer is one of the most effective ways of achieving technology, various technology transfer projects are defined and executed recently in Iran petrochemical industry to obtain it. But, most of these projects face various challenges that lead to low effectiveness or failure the field of technology transfer. This research was conducted to investigate the executive and managerial challenges of technology transfer in international technological alliances of Iran petrochemical industry by a case study 011 "Methanol To Propylene (MTP)" project, which was one of the recently most important and challenging projects that was implemented with the aim of transferring technology. This research was done via a mixed qualitative-quantitative methodology and has provided some valuable findings and suggestions for improving the efficacy and the success ratio of technology transfer projects and technological alliances in Iran petrochemical industry.
